Danny’s Parody Account – I must have been hiding under a rock all this time

By

Like a very bad pretend journalist I only had a look today to see if Nelson Mandela Bay Executive Mayor Danny Jordaan has a Twitter account.

A search for said account reveals two results:

  1. A very active parody account – https://twitter.com/Diaspora_Danny
  2. A dormant egg account (one with the Twitter default egg shaped avatar) – https://twitter.com/DannyJordaan

The parody account was established on 30 September 2014 and follows much the same type of tweets as the Peter De Villiers parody account – https://twitter.com/Coachdivvy

Some tweets from the Danny Jordaan parody account:

Why do our parliamentarians keep calling each other “honourable” when clearly there is no honour amongst thieves?

If you’re wondering what happened to your curtains it seems like some of the ANC ladies have taken to having dresses made from them. #taste

The second lesson of living in a Kleptocracy is when you steal, STEAL BIG. Don’t waste your time on petty crime. Make your crime pay: BIG

Dear Comrades. Kindly use the word liberate instead of thief. President Zuma is the world’s greatest liberator. #vocab

Danny Jordaan is now the mayor of Nelson Mandela Bay Muni because… that’s how democracy works.

I wonder if I know co-conspirators 15 and 16? Supposedly “high ranking officials” able to organise a $10million bribe? #Fifacorruption

Prosecute Co-conspirators 15 and 16 for paying a $10million bribe to win the World Cup 2010? In South Africa we’ll likely give them medals.

Port Elizabeth. A great place to get away from it all.

I wonder if the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality Metro police will protect me from the G-men?

I should have become the mayor of Soweto. Then no one would complain about me not paying for my electricity. #hindsight

Dear Port Elizabeth. Sorry I haven’t paid my electricity for seven years. Don’t worry. I’m sure you would have done the same.

I don’t understand why the DA would go to SAFA to deliver a memo to me to come clean about the World Cup corruption. I’m in PE! #confused

First up. As mayor, I am fully dedicated to the people of Port Elizabeth. I will do the SAFA and FIFA thing on the weekends. #parttime
