Have cake and tweet it too

-

When people are used to mediocrity, they accept anything. This was the case this week when Chris Hani municipali­ty in the Eastern Cape celebrated the ANC’s birthday. A supplier donated a cake that looked like one spectacula­r mess. Social media users took turns making fun of it. But Bongiwe van Heerden, the official tasked with sourcing the cake, said: “We did see the commentary on social media but there is really nothing we can do about it. We had a cake and we had a successful cake-cutting ceremony and we were pleased with the turnout and our NEC guests.”
