Carl curries favour

Aregular in the media lounge during the ANC national conference was would-be national executive committee member Carl Niehaus, who sadly failed to make the cut despite his superb dancing skills. Niehaus hung out with the crew from ANN7, aka Jimmy’s Pawns, and tried to work the NDZ spin machine among the journalists. One subject that he continuously ducked was whether his mother was alive or dead, following a Sunday Times report that he faked her death to scheme an insurance policy. It seems his scheming knows no end. When the food queues in the media lounge were too long, Mother Ducking Carl pretended to be Muslim so he could join the halaal queue. Hogarth wanted to suggest that the food servers check if he was circumcised, as all Muslim males are required to be, but decided to let the member in bad standing be.
