By
now you might have heard about the furore over a picture, which depicts the
President standing in a suit, with an outstretched hand while his stumpy bits
dangle from his zipper region.
Hardly
worth calling his fleshy bits stumpy to be honest. In fact, more the kind of
weapon God bestows upon a man who he holds solely responsible for continuing
the human race. And given the amount of children our Casanova has fathered, I’d
say he’s doing a sterling job so far.
With
the above mentioned in mind, I’m finding it rather difficult to understand why
the ANC feels the image is defamatory and violates Zuma’s rights. A news
soundbite even said something to the effect that the image undermines African
culture and men in particular. Perhaps it was spurred on by ANC spokesman and
self-elected art connoisseur Jackson Mthembu, who called the image
“so-called-art.”
During
Zuma’s last cultural wedding – the one where he flailed his legs in the air and
toppled over – I could have sworn that I saw something similar to a Puff Adder,
only darker, hiding behind his loin cloth. If my memory serves me right, prior
to the arrival of Europeans on African soil, black folk were running around
bare-arsed and not in Hugo Boss suits, as the ANC would have us believe.
Personally,
I feel President Zuma should be flattered at the almost life-size picture. The
nation can be forgiven for thinking that women queue outside his garden gate
like paedophiles at a pre-school open day. And now that the image is in the
public domain I suspect that number will grow, this time including some
pale-faced women.
It’s
not every guy who gets portrayed as a human mule, what with that spear of an
appendage dangling from him. Judging by the looks on the faces of other men who
were at the opening on the same night, I could tell that they, too, wanted to
be portrayed as our three-legged president.
If
anything, it does wonders to improve his street cred. What better way to get
the nation to take you seriously than to show off a little?...........
