Everything was so exciting in the buildup to elections. And now… don’t you hate an anti-climax? Even the Oscar trial doesn’t seem that exciting anymore, and Nkandla… whatever, wake us up when they build Zuma a private spaceport. Isn’t it amazing how important something can seem one day and then just pfft, disappear the next. It’s like a relationship — hot and steamy in the beginning and then pfft… Nothing.
Speaking of relationships, this week’s news (and there is always news) seems kind of dominated by them: from marriage, political break-ups and your regular run-of-the-mill male German prostitute testifying against accused murderers. Seriously — Shrien Dewani totally paid a German male prostitute for kinky German bradwurst games. Jacob Zuma is grooming Cyril Ramphosa to be his very own lapdog / deputy president, and Zwelinzima Vavi still doesn’t know whether he’s coming or going.
Meanwhile, in the Americas, Snoop Lion tries to ride on Beat by Dre’s 3-billion-dollar coattails by marketing his own ear buds (they’re not for listening to music), Michelle Obama delivers a harsh message regarding the effectiveness of hasthags in activism, and Obama responds to North Korea’s incredibly surprising and offensive racial slur. Maybe Kim Jung-un is just looking for attention.
