The chief whip of the ANC in parly is making the manne weep for the return of Tony ”Fabiani” Yengeni, now resident of Malmesbury. Mbulelo Goniwe (pictured above), not the brightest crayon in the box at the best of times, looks to the long-drop for political inspiration.
To wit. When the Mail & Guardian revealed in 2004 that he had not declared his business interests, he told us: ”So what? I am not going to take this shit of yours any more.”
When we revealed last week that he had strong-armed ANC MPs to borrow from loan sharks, he said it was ”crap”. His uncle, Matthew, must be turning in his grave.
Who rings true?
Cde Smuts at ANC head-quarters is a man of his word — one of few in the body politic. He told us that he did not join the struggle to be poor. And last week he (allegedly illegally) sold one million Telkom shares. He denies it. The Public Investment Commissioner said he did. Watch this space.
Honeytrap
Prez-in-waiting JZ revealed to RW Johnson, in the London Sunday Times nogal, that ”Khwezi”, the woman who alleged she was raped by him, was a honeytrap, sent to ”get” him. Why didn’t he tell the court? Because he fell for the honey?

Now, we know the young lions want to run the country, but surely they should know how to spell their names. An e-mail from Zizi ”hit the dogs” Kodwa was sent to the Oom. It came from the ”ANC yuth leaue”. Now we know the money’s run dry but a spellcheck’s not that expensive, gents.
Anyway, the lions met with Top Technology 100 companies in Jozi and agreed to ”identify youth companies within the industry that need support”. The Oom can just guess who’s going to be introduced. Lembede Tech; Kodwa & Mbalula Computer Services; ANC YL Connexion Inc; Luthuli House Digital Pty Ltd …
