Some Ethekwini councillors visited Mr Zuma and presented him with a bull. Typically, my cynical, disrespectful friend said that the bull had come home to roost
I was outraged. I hate mixed metaphors. I also don't know what he meant. Anyone...
Fortunately, the councillors cleared up several important issues. The gift had nothing to do with:
1. Mr Zuma's alleged role in helping them win eThekwini
2. Gaining his support for Ms Gumede's career moves
For those of us who are pure of mind, nothing could have been further from our thoughts. Yes, the cynical and the suspicious are among us. The heart of man is desperately wicked says The Good Book.
The councillors merely wished to ask about Mr Zuma's health and to wish him well. Who of us would not do the same for a friend? And if we had some spare bulls, I'm sure we'd take one along
They also sought his sage advice before embarking on a five year journey of selfless service to you and me, dear fellow Kayzedenner. Who better?
This does explain my frequent sightings of cows and bulls in our suburb, which has a sociable, tightly-knit community. It's all clear at last.
"We did a symbolic thing, it's biblical to take your first fruit and give it to the priest. The bull was too big for the trailer we had got and so we had to get another trailer, so that was why we were delayed in getting here.”
Mr Zuma was reportedly ordained by some pastors, so I cannot quarrel with the priestly thing (even though that's a bit Old Testament).
Of course, if they'd used a symbolic bull in this symbolic thing (say, a can of Bull Brand corned beef), there would have been no trailer problems.
The king received an SUV, Mr Zuma a bull. I'll take a Namaqualand sheep from any of the other parties. Address below.

Take it Zuma is not the bull he used to be. AND THEY ARE ONLY HELPING OUT.
