Ok so I wrote about Jay Zuma and his heaven speech just yesterday, and today I was following up on it and I came across this pearler from Jackson Mthembu on what JZ actually meant and why we are reacting the way we are.

I have to say these people clearly think they are talking to a bunch of 12 year olds. This is an insult to our intelligence. Read about it here.

Mthembu said that South Africans, both black and white, fully understood the use of Zuma’s figurative expressions and the context in which it was used.

“Those who are “alarmed” by his expression are probably driven by jealousy for not having thought of the expression themselves,” Mthembu said.

I had to check the date first when I read this, but 1 April is still some ways away.
