The government of national unity (GNU) presents a laugh a day.

- Richard Chemaly

In the past month, DA deputy minister Andrew Whitfield got axed, setting an awkward precedent for President Cyril Ramaphosa's defence chief.

While bus drivers are taking their own lives having not been paid since January, a dialogue is on the go that increasingly seems to be evolving into a monologue. Sport, Arts and Culture Minister Gayton McKenzie has been doing his thing and team DA is patting themselves on the back for outsourcing state work to the banks.

Such is our disdain towards home affairs. Oh, and the 587 ministers appointed to fix load shedding were bust doing what we already knew they were doing: burning diesel harder than Christians burned Beatles albums.
