Monitoring political hot air emissions.

Sometimes, the rhetoric that politicians spew does go wrong, with amusing consequences. Fortunately this happens often enough to warrant a dedicated blog, monitoring all of the excessive hot air coming out of our politicians.

Chancellor House answers to no white man

Mamatho Netsianda, managing director of Chancellor House, told Sake24 that
No white person will force me to say anything...
This before he was asked if Chancellor House Holdings stands to benefit from Eskom's contract. It must be remembered that this company is owned by the ANC.

No Ugly Women in the ANC

Julius Malema is a gold mine of inappropriate comments, here are some gems he said while addressing students at the University of Zululand;
We don't have ugly women in the ANC. That is why Zille can't be a member. She has faked her face.
...
We don't want Tito's statement that the mines will not be nationalised. Tito is nothing in the ANC. If he continues, he will not get a nice deployment.

Of Botox money and service delivery

Bhuti Manamela's bizzare attack on Western Cape premier Helen Zille:

We cannot continue to tolerate a situation wherein ugly Zille uses money that is supposed to build toilets to buy her own make-up and Botox. You can"t use that money to buy your Botox, that money belongs to service delivery


The ANC deputy secretary-general Thandi Modise decided to get in on the act:

Some of us allow Zille to come into our houses simply because she speaks Xhosa to us. Are we that cheap, are we forgetting where we come from, are we forgetting who Zille is?

ANCYL "promise" to Nedbank

The Youth League's inflated sense of influence knows no bounds, Floyd Shivambu said the following as his "promise" to Nedbank over the bank's decision to their withdraw sponsorship of Athletics South Africa.

ANCYL calls on Nedbank to retain its sponsorship of Athletics South Africa (ASA) or face the might of patriotic South Africans.

The ANCYL will mobilise all patriotic South Africans, corporations, institutions and government departments that bank with Nedbank to withdraw their accounts from the bank and switch to other banks if the sponsorship is not retained.

We place it on record that this is not a threat, but a promise...

Warning shots from criminals

Someone should remind the president that he is in charge; it is no use making point scoring rhetorical remarks, do something Mr President.
Criminals don't take an oath to do warning shots...
Too many rights for criminals... it’s what we feel ourselves.

The Delusional Right Wingers

I thought Eugene Terre'Blanche fell off the saddle, badly at that.
The white man in South Africa is realising that his salvation lies in self-government in territories paid for by his ancestors...

What is hermaphrodite in Pedi?

Julius Malema, who's more guilty of excessive hot air emissions.
Hermaphrodite, what is that? Somebody tell me, what is hermaphrodite in Pedi? There's no such thing, hermaphrodite, in Pedi. So don't impose your hermaphrodite concepts on us...

Why should we be told today our children are hermaphrodites? She's a girl and why should we accept concepts that are imposed on us by the imperialists? We will never agree to that concept. You are either a girl or a boy and that's it.
