Writing about Nelson Mandela’s condition on whatever level seems like appropriation. Perhaps there are levels of appropriation, from the vultures camped outside his home reporting on the inane: about the number of joggers, domestic workers and vetkoek sales outside his Houghton home at 6am to his ‘serious but stable’ condition, appropriation nonetheless.

Tata Madiba’s legacy has been prostituted in every imaginable way. Winnie Mandela scandals; art and in-house political scandals; the Mandela clan, including three daughters from two marriages, 17 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren have all have their fair share of media scrutiny. Unfortunately for people like Mr Mandela, he isn't and won’t be allowed to deteriorate into obscurity the way most of us are. Nor should he be allowed to. After he was convicted in 1964, his image, in silhouette or with prison bars superimposed over it, became an icon of the ANC and its struggle against apartheid. Today, his image is superimposed on everything, even on tablecloths and cushions. Abroad, and certainly to the colonial media here, Mandela is the one African the world loves to love. This African continent of famine, corruption and social abjection has produced this one fine human being. Their obituaries have been written for years, and every one of them bright-eyed and bushy-tailed covering the death of the one of the world’s most popular statesmen. read more

NEW DRIVER JOKE

During a Sunday service, the pastor asked the congregation for their intentions. We heard the usual requests to pray for sick people and the acknowledgments for those who helped when a parishioner died. The somber mood was broken when the last intention was heard.

A woman stood up and said, "My granddaughter turned 16 this week and received her driver's license. Let us pray for us all."
