To be fair, former president Jacob Zuma also did not complete formal schooling and was able to rise through the ranks to allegedly waste nine years in the country’s highest political office. Steenie, as he is affectionately known to those of us he considers his frenemies, actually matriculated and is heading the agricultural ministry and department, his only qualifications for the post being a beer belly resembling Frikkie the Farmer’s. But Gwamanda, speaking like someone who has guzzled gallons of Smirnoff Guaranas, gathered the gall to call himself the “black version” of The Smurfs party leader while slamming investigations into his educational qualifications.
Well, it seems that intelligence was not good enough, after ActionSA’s announcement on Monday that it would vote with the ANC to remove Gwamanda at the next council meeting on 29 or 30 July. However, in an about-turn that rivals the Economic Freedom Fighters’ flip-flopping, ActionSA said its blood would be black, green and gold when it came to removing Gwamanda, who they referred to as a “compromised individual”.
