Stage set for Jonas and his tall talesĀ
Mcebisi Jonas, the man who swore the Guptas dangled R600m like a carrot for a finance gig (a story now drier than a vetkoek in a Pakistani spaza), is now SAās new US envoy. Sounds familiar?Ā Ā
Itās the same energy as Reuben Bridgettyās āSA armed Russiaā fantasy ā two wild claims, zero receipts, maxi-mum drama. But Shwa sees things getting even more spicy if Jonasā appointment could be President Cyril Ramaphosaās tĆŖte-Ć -tat masterstroke.Ā Ā
America expels our ambassador Ebrahim Rasool (for what? Breathing too loud near Trumpās hairspray stash?), so we fire back by sending them our homegrown fairytale storyteller.Ā
Sharp, neh? Both men rely on ātrust me, broā evidence, both weaponise paranoia, and both are conveniently unprovable. Jonasā new role? Itās SA flipping the script: āYou want fiction? Letās play fiction, Trump!Ā
This is exactly what I was looking forāthanks for the helpful tips!
