It’s always difficult to find anything intelligible in the utterances of Mbalula who, despite stiff competition, is consistently the most incoherent and inane person in the Cabinet. But since he is transport minister, a staunch ally ofand was in charge of the party’s election campaign, one must persist.
“To get what we got,” he said, “we should really be smiling.” The great stayaway, said Mbalula, is at the heart a polite request: “Can you please fix things?”This is more than just a politician putting a positive spin on things. So strong is the ANC narrative that its position as SA’s government is irreversible, that it seems inconceivable that “our people” might have other ideas.
That is not how political disenchantment usually plays out. As likely, the ANC is momentarily adrift in slack water – that short period of stillness before the tidal stream reverses its direction.
