Zuma Returns

 Dear Mr Zuma 

Congratulations.  You are living proof of the truth of the ancient Eastern proverb:  'You cannot keep a good dancer down'. Like Montezuma's revenge, you return.

Chairman of Sanco sounds almost as impressive as His Excellency President Zuma. More melodious, I would say.

 I can see the Ankolites laughi...., I mean, squirming, as you once more grasp the reins of power. The name of this organization, Sanco, is surely on the lips of every South African  - and those who have found creative ways to invest in the Beloved Country. In fact, I found myself mumbling 'Sanco' this very morning, as I awoke from a dream of being pursued by CIA handlers of various South African politicians.

For the unenlightened, Sanco, the South African National Civic Organization, 'endeavours to promote nation-building, the notion of a developmental state, socio-economic and political development, reconstruction, transformation, peace, prosperity and social cohesion.' 

Just your average 'let's change the world with a couple of apple pie-in-the-sky pronouncements' organization. 

South Africa is littered with their successes and achievements.

Great things to come, fellow South Africans, great things. Inevitably, the haters, spoilers and other sinister types tried to rain on the glorious parade with this:

Sir, I would ignore them. I am sure that Abelungu are behind this. You just continue to promote nation-building, peace, social cohesion and all the other stuff that you were doing so well, before you were rudely interrupted.

Some malicious people made snide comments about your seemingly miraculously restored health (after your release from prison on grounds of ill health).  Have not you and Mr Shaik  demonstrated, beyond argument, the remarkable healing powers of golf and the soft shoe shuffle?

Others, consumed by jealousy, make sneering remarks about your age. As I've said before, the bard must have had you in mind when he wrote:

Age has not withered him 

Nor custom staled his infinite variety 

(Something like that).

Besides, Abraham had a child at the age of 100. Not that I'm suggesting...

Yours in the struggle for relevance.
