Hot air is more likely

The commander-in-chief of the red berets has shown what we have known for years: he bends and blows with the wind. But now Juju has told an SABC-TV programme that he is the wind itself.

Which reminds Hogarth of another politician who likened himself to a force of nature. The self-proclaimed “river”, also known as Mosebenzi Zwane, was swept away into a sea of political oblivion. So Juju must be careful not to be blown away by the winds of change in next year’s general elections.
