Our president is really affiliating himself to the Big Guy.
First Jacob Zuma conjured up a big old hornets' nest by saying the ANC would rule until Jesus comes. Now he has a new head of communications - none other than Vusi Mona, who was spokesperson for Rhema church leader Ray McCauley. Maybe JZ thinks that Mona has inside info on JC.
Mona was quoted as saying his new job "still gives me butterflies in my stomach". Maybe he knows something we don't.
Saffanisms (AKA buzzwords)
Saffa (n): South Africans. Usually used to describe expats (fondly)
Saffagette (n): A South African whose vote is reserved for Mzansi, the Motherland. A Saffagette is not an ostrich. A Saffagette has a vote and is determined to stand in a queue to cast it.
Saffavescence (n): Developed from saffervescence, which is a slang derivative of effervescence. Saffavescence means awesome, amazing - in a South African sense of course.
Saffaring (v): Being patriotic.
Suffaring (v): Having to listen to others not being patriotic.
