Mampara of the week: Baleka Mbete

With her campaign to succeed No1 dead in the water, the Headscarf Queen is struggling to remain relevant. So, to stand a chance of being accommodated in No1's camp in December, Mbete has appointed herself the Nkandla Crooner's chief imbongi. But because No1's preferred candidate, Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, has hogged all the airtime, no one recognises this mampara any more.

With her campaign to succeed No1 dead in the water, the Headscarf Queen is struggling to remain relevant.

So, to stand a chance of being accommodated in No1's camp in December, Mbete has appointed herself the Nkandla Crooner's chief imbongi.

But because No1's preferred candidate, Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, has hogged all the airtime, no one recognises this mampara any more.

So yesterday she hijacked the funeral of 17 children who died in a horrific car crash in Bronkhorstspruit to attack South Africans who marched against No1.

Shame on you, Madam Mampara.
