HIGH PRAISE RAISES CLOUDY AS DIDIZA STYLE HITS STREETS
ALICE IN CLOUDY LAND
WHERE do they fish such geniuses as the Born Intalekshual Leksha Some of the gems the man comes up with are out of this world.
It was another week and another dish from the everstirring Cloudy pot. Are you ready for a serving?
You see the Leksha came up with something that would no doubt put any
stuff to shame.
Not too long ago he announced it wouldn’t be such a bad idea if he dressed all the folks at the SABC in a uniform. Now that’s got Vera thinking: if you were to dress that lot at Auckland Park how would you go about it? Suggestions to
please. So, just when Vera thought it was safe and our genius wouldn’t dream up something that’s way below the pits of the uniform, he delivered the
TALL TALES
CLOUDY announced that he was going to have the camera crew at Dithering Heights, as Vera’s old colleague labelled the SABC, retrained because, in all their shots of him, they had made him look shorter than he really is! VERA will blame that one on the alleged People’s Poet. You see, Long Tom and MZWAKHE MBULI his 2m self has been such a regular that staff at Auckland Park must be thinking he is one of their own.
The other day he was there making some noise that he was matching to a video with “lyrics” that went something like in praise of the Leksha.
Talk of singing for your lunch, literally.
Trouble is, Mzwakhe dwarfs everything around and must have made our intellectual giant feel so small indeed. Mind the company you keep. Shall we, Hlaudi? Vera had always wondered why Pretoria is referred to as Pretoria Mahlanyeng (city of madcaps) in the townships when the folks there are the most creative she knows. The city is the nation’s undisputed jazz capital, for instance, and Vera knows it’s only the brainy that can wrap their minds around this jazz thing. So when the natives there rioted and decided to tell uncle Gweezy to take back Thoko Didiza, the mayor he had dreamed up for them, one of the stores they looted was a Nike factory shop.
Now, Nike footwear is known as Didiza in Pheli, Lesosha, Vlak and other Pretoria townships.
SHOOTING FROM THE HIP
A week will be incomplete for us in Mzansi if there isn’t a race row or two, what with all the idiotic bigots having so much access to social media and even the pulpit.
But Vera was left gobsmacked by Tumisho Masha trying to defend his white vicar for showing his true colours. Brother actor had itchy fingers and got going on Twitter saying Pastor Olivier can’t be racist.
Wrong move. The gloves were off.
The brother was told in no uncertain terms that his views might be stemming from his ample hips for which he needs two seats to sit in a sermon.
Unforgiving these Twitter streets!
