@Bruceps Myopia meets megalomania. And his comrades will probably treat him to a hero's welcome on his return. Morons.

I for one think it is wonderful that IOL is now publishing modern art instillations. This piece is called “A hamster, crack cocaine and a key board”, and is designed to show that, given the right drugs, even the simplest mammals can produce a column that IOL will publish.

Lenin, Mao and the GNU. It’s good to be reminded of the ANC’s ideological pathologies every now and then.
