PHEW, what a week! Vera has definitely lost a few kilos just trying to keep up.
ou know the week would be incomplete if Namba Wan didn't make an appearance. I am beginning to think we in good ol' Mzansi should have an 8-day week - you know, slot in a Msholoziday in there somewhere.
Anyway, the man was on top form again this week, making the news without making an appearance anywhere. So it was the news without giggles but interesting nonetheless.
First, Vera was freshening up her look when she was brought to her senses by the a missive landing in her inbox from The Presidency.
It was an announcement that Number One was cutting down on his guest list for the State of the Nation Address on the evening of February 11. The letter said it was all due to the "depressed economic climate".
Vera was impressed but not sure whether, given the difficult relationship Namba Wan has with numbers, he actually meant he was allowed only - listen carefully - 20-hundred or 20 guests. Ha ha ha.
And there was Vera thinking to herself that Numero Uno must have seen the folly of raiding the public purse with gay abandon - ala Nkaaandla style.
But soon came the real reason why Giggles needed to save a few dimes - Nkaaaandla!
You see, he has decided to cut costs since he has to pay back the money. Sorry, folks no free meals for serial hangers-on at the Sona. Damn Nkandla.
OFF INTO THE SUNSET
Vera would also like to raise a glass to Gauteng premier David Makhura for finally giving gogo Molebatsi Bopape a break with his cabinet reshuffle this week.
Old age was wreaking havoc with her, and now that she has collected enough pension money as MEC for sports, arts, culture and recreation and during her short stint as MEC of social development, Vera thinks it's time for gogo to rest. Talk about perfect timing, just in time for her to cash the pension before Number One grabs it come March 1.
The news reminded Vera of the time she had wished her expensive Gucci bag was big enough to hide in during the launch of a school in Soweto.
Gogo could not read her own speech even though she wears glasses the size of Gauteng. She also struggled to pronounce words. All she could say was "Eish this English."
Yeah, Vera knows, this English never loved us.
SAY WHAT?
The other day Vera was catching up on the talk on the wireless on her way home, tuning into Mapaseka Mokwele's PG-rated show on KayaFM (you must pay for this ad Aus' Pasi, endorsements don't come bigger than Vera's phela)
The topic was on what types to avoid dating. Lawyers, engineers, journalists and, wait for it - presidents - made the list as listeners called in.
Then MaMokwele declared she would date a president if he had one wife. Oops!
QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Will the Guptas use Waterkloof airbase when Juju's Red Army comes?
