Faux pas at a funeral

-

WITH her campaign to succeed No 1 dead in the water, the Headscarf Queen is struggling to remain relevant. So, to stand a chance of being accommodat­ed in No 1’s camp in December, Mbete has appointed herself the Nkandla Crooner’s chief imbongi. But because No 1’s preferred candidate, Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, has hogged all the airtime, no one recognises this mampara any more. So yesterday she hijacked the funeral of 17 children who died in a horrific car crash in Bronkhorst­spruit to attack South Africans who marched against No 1.

Shame on you, Madam Mampara.
