This village drunkard would not ordinarily feature on these august pages because he is a nonentity. But somehow Ngizwe Mchunu gets the KwaZulu-Natal media excited every time he opens his mouth. Remember how the cameras followed him around at the time of the July 2021 riots?
His new threat to block Julius Malema from entering the Moses Mabhida stadium, where the EFF will be launching its election manifesto next month, poses a danger to democracy. While we don’t expect anyone to heed this radio host, we are honouring him with the Mampara award so the country can see him for what he is.
Juju would be getting a taste of his own medicine, but we don’t need further polarisation. The National Prosecuting Authority may have failed to nail Mchunu in connection with the July riots, but we have successfully declared him Mampara.
