MAMPARA OF THE WEEK

Kenneth Meshoe

Positively pathetic

Apart from a few ramblings on social media, and a statement here and there, the lockdown has rendered opposition politicians fairly useless.

But in comes ACDP leader Kenneth Meshoe, causing confusion about his status in a feeble attempt to remain relevant.

A month ago, Meshoe was on TV telling SA that he had tested positive for Covid-19. Last week he gave an interview to a Sunday newspaper in which he seemed to deny testing positive, accusing the health department of using him as a “guinea pig” and “sacrificial lamb” in the politicisation of the pandemic.

A few days later, he denied that denial, claiming the paper had misquoted him.

Meshoe should start an online church if he so craves attention.

Covid-19 is matter of life and death, not a cheap publicity gimmick.
