Looking across the Limpopo Julius found the Thames
NOT so long ago, Wee Julius used every platform available to sing his praises for Mad Bob. Remember how, in the run-up to last year’s elections, he called on locals to look to our neighbours across the Limpopo for an African Utopia?
“There’s no system that has worked successfully for Africans except the Zimbabwean system. They can be hungry and poor, but at least they own property. You are eating pap and vleis, [but] you have nothing to show as proof that you belong to South Africa.”
That was 2014 and Wee Julius was still hoping Mad Bob would send some Zim dollars his way. None came as Mad Bob thought it wise not to offend the hypersensitive Nkandla Crooner.
And so Juju looked further north, to the very England he and Mad Bob used to agree is the source of all African nightmares.
At Oxford this week, the self-styled commander-in-chief of the toy red army, was singing a different tune about Mad Bob: “We are not going to do what the Zimbabweans have done, of drawing the blood of innocent people . . . We cannot have people killed, injured because you want your land back.
“Mugabe had more than 25 years to pass legislation through democratic means that would systematically take the land back, he did not do anything about it. He only introduced that policy at a time when he was losing power.”
Oh, the power of the British pound!
