A certain Julie Assorted Mal Enema is a hot topic under our humble roof. His utterances are the stuff of Darwin Literary Awards and cause consternation, expletives, crying and banging of computer screens in frustration.
The very real threat that millions of ANC followers could very well be of limited intelligence and actually vote the man into a position of significant power (like President of South Africa) is an ever present and worrying thought. Please lobby to get Blade Nzimande a bigger and more effective budget that will churn out intelligent people who do not fail Woodwork!
We settled all of the heated Mal Enema debate in our household with the simple question: Who Would you die for?
Our (AND YOUR) choices are; Nelson Mandela, Jacob Zuma, Julius Malema, Helen Zille, Zanoxolo Wayile, Patricia De Lille, My Partner, My Kids, MyPE and You must be joking. You may choose up to THREE of these when making your choices.

We thought of adding Nceba and Roland to the list but they have not quite made it to becoming significant, sorry guys you will have to practise foot in the mouth a little longer.

The voting age needs to be upped to 40. Finished and klaar. The ANC Children’s League has proven to me, without any doubt, that we are in deep trouble if this would-be Morgarbage is allowed into parliament.
Why isn’t – my religion – an option?
My parents always taught me; “Don’t mix religion and politics!”
Will someone please vote for Julius in this poll – the poor guy must be feeling lonely ……
