Zungurisation part duh

Zungu said the reversal on BEE "will not go unchallenged by black business". The rule would have curbed fronting but, he said, "the minister responded to pressure somewhere".

via www.timeslive.co.za

This paragraph is preceded by

Sandile Zungu, a vice-president of the Black Business Council and an economic adviser to President Jacob Zuma, said he supported Comair's decision. "Comair is correct in being cautious and guarded in doing any BEE deals, particularly around broad-based ownership and employee share schemes, until there is clarification from government," he said.

The irony of the first paragraph should not escape you. This "responding to pressure somewhere" quote is beyond hysterical. It's not unlikely that the insertion of the contested paragraph was as a result of pressure from somewhere else - that else possibly being people close to black business. They've run all over Rob, created a new set of codes that are not implementable and exempted themselves from BEE in the process and there was barely any kickback. When business actually does kick back then the BEE codes are there to prevent fronting.

Yes Sandile, I'll be sure to visit you at the firepool on the inaugural flight on GuptAir landing at Nkandla International

What Nene will not receive, measured in Nkandlas

Yesterday's post looked at the total cost of skills development for 9 companies. This table shows how much less money Nene (and SARS) is going to receive. For those MPs who are numerically challenged, the total amount is 2.29 Nkandlas. The going rate for a Nkandla is R246m.

*Company*	*Target spend (6%)*	*Additional spend required over and above current spend of 3%*
Standard Bank	887 760 000.00	443 880 000
MTN	402 540 000.00	201 270 000
NASPERS	524 280 000.00	262 140 000
AECI	178 560 000.00	89 280 000
FirstRand	637 200 000.00	318 600 000
Telkom	591 660 000.00	295 830 000

This is the good story SA has to tell, but the SABC might not pick up on it

The Youtube link died and we can't have this video being forgotten.

It's going to go viral so I thought I'd help it along. The SABC is definitely not going to play it so it is our responsibility to show it to those avid SABC watchers

NKANDLA STYLE VIDEO from zumastyle on Vimeo.

Then I was wondering whether we could substitute the word Nkandla with the word fuck. I suppose you could say South Africa was fairly Nkandlad by Zuma, or Zuma is Nkandlaring South Africa. It even works to describe how Zuma has told us to Nkandloff. Nkandla is also synonymous with ignorance - Nkandlangazi. If you feel that you have been shafted then you might say - I was completely Nkandlad in that deal.

And then there is Nkandlarisation. Which is the process of fucking over an entire country and ensuring that your best mates run to your defence uber alles. Something that we used to call a lager mentality.

Nkandlagate doesn't really work. It was a lot more than a gate that he stole from us, we need some sort of compound word. Nkandlavatoryfirepoolfencekraalandlifttwentywivesbutnoshower.................?

ANC were campaigning this weekend, buffoonery but no Zoomer

Those poor volunteers handing out pamphlets on the corner of the William Nicol and Republic (in Johannesburg). I did not take a pamphlet but my mate Chris did. I would imagine that these somewhat deluded campaigners could count the number of comments from passersby that didn't refer to Nkandla on one hand. I thought I'd help the ANC with their campaign logo. I think it's a little more apt and does talk to their eternal toilet fascination.

You'll notice that there is no visage of our (pure as the driven donkey-cart) dear Zoomer. I would imagine that his image would piss off most urban voters. The rural people, specifically those in KZN, but not Nkandla, are maybe a little more receptive to that smug, Angizwa/Angazi grin.

It's not this blog's business to comment on Thuli's Nkandla report. But I will say that this paragraph reinforces the notion that Zuma is a complete buffoon and continues to portray himself as such.

(Madonsela let) Zuma off the hook on the complaint that he misled Parliament by saying his family paid for the buildings in Nkandla, not the state. Zuma forgot to mention the visitor's centre, also a building but paid for by the state.

"I have accepted the evidence that he addressed Parliament in good faith and was not thinking about the visitor's centre but his family dwellings when he made the statement,"

This reminds me of a job interview I had years ago where I asked the prospective employer whether he had medical aid. He responded affirmatively, yet the package they offered me did not include medical aid. I realised afterwards that he had chosen to interpret the question as whether he had medical aid. A more reasonable employer woud have interpreted the question as whether the company offers a medical aid.

If our president can be let off on a technicality where the public protector gives him the benefit of doubt when it comes to interpretation of the words "family dwelling" then he is too GODDAMN THICK to run this country. Surely this is overwhelming evidence of this.

A bungling buffoon at our expense.

The ANC under Zuma does more than move my bowels, they make me sick.
