Mampara of the week: Lwazi Lushaba

His logic, like that of all mamparas, is scrambled and hard to follow, writes Hogarth.

NSFAS spokesman Kagisho Mamabolo confirmed that the order for 170,000 laptops included 10,000 for university students and 160,000 for those from the Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges.

Egghead with egg on his face

His logic, like that of all mamparas, is scrambled and hard to follow. Lwazi Lushaba, a political science lecturer at the University of Cape Town, claims "Hitler committed no crime." Reason? "All Hitler did was to do to white people what white people had normally reserved for black people." So, Doc, two wrongs in your world do make a right, right?

Anyway, it turns out this mampara of a lecturer corrupted an original quote by pan-African scholar Aimé Césaire, sourced from his Discourse on Colonialism. But it's a complete misreading, as could be expected from a mampara. Hitler's genocide is a horrible crime, mampara.

In the same way, Google medicine makes no-one a doctor. We wonder how this quasi-intellectual got his PhD if he can't even get basic research right.
