One would think anyone who can mobilise tens of thousands behind him - literally - would be chuffed with himself and the world at large.
HE'S HOMESICK
One would think anyone who can mobilise tens of thousands behind him - literally - would be chuffed with himself and the world at large.
Not the enfant terrible of South African politics, the Toy Commander-in-Chief himself.
You see, not many could pull off the stunt Julius Malema and his EFF did this week when he led more than 50 000 people to the Johannesburg Stock Exchange to demand economic freedom in our lifetime, or something of the sort.
Vera suspects the organisers of Juju's Long March must have taken the course past Malema's old house in Africa's richest square mile - the one he lost in an auction.
We all know how there is a House That Juju Tried to Build right in the belly of the capitalist beast he detests so much... Talk of a Trojan horse.
HAT'S MINE, NOT YOURS
I digress, silly Vera. You see, Juju had a full go at members of the police's Tactical Response Team, commonly known as amaberethe, because of the black berets they wear that set them apart from other officers.
Vera suspects the Chubby One did not take kindly to others laying claim to the beret, which has become synonymous with The Make-believe Commander in Chief's red army.
Juju mocked amaberethe, telling them fighters did not need their protection.
The commander might well have been jealous but Vera suspects the sight of his old castle, taken so unceremoniously from him, riled him so much so that he had to take it out on someone.
TALKING OUT OF TURN
Speaking of people spitting fire, Vera took pity when one of her favourite people, Lindiwe Zulu, better known as Ginger, had her comeuppance in the the House of Naps, oops parliament, this week.
Vera thinks Ginger fancies herself as the commander of the battalion that infamously declared "Re tlo lwa ntwa ya dibono" (We'll protect him with our bums) in defence of Number One.
This time she bit off more than she could chew when she told a fellow from that cultural movement, Inkatha : " Uya bheda, wena ! (You're talking nonsense).
In response he gave her such a Zulu verbal dressing down that Ginger must have wished to be anywhere but the House; perhaps leading today's march of the ANC Womens League in support of JZ.
MAGOGOS ON THE MOVE
Vera has had enough of these marches; she simply can't keep up.
The green blouses say they are marching to protect the dignity of President Jacob Zuma, who was once again painted doing some funny stuff. Mshini Wam, mshini wam...
But Juju has set the mark. Will the magogos come out anywhere close to those numbers?
Question of the week: How many kilos did Juju shed on the great march?
'Tis the season for march ado about very little
