Government lacky and SABC news and current affairs head Snuki Zikalala interviewed Zimbabwean hero Robert Mugabe last night on the state controlled television network.
Zikalala asked Mugabe why the Zim economy is in disarray. Nakedly revealing his conspiracy minded mental illnesses, Mugabe answered by blaming the Jews who left Zimbabwe for Johannesburg.
Zikalala didn't even challenge Mugabe on his answer, instead he accepted it as fact and moved on to the next question.
Oh yes, I remember getting that call in 1993 as the tide turned in SA. The council of Jewish illuminati elders telephoned all the Southern African Jews, commanding those with money in Zimbabwe to pull it all out. Scary days.

UPDATE
I just watched a rerun of the Mugabe interview by Snuki "state controlled" Zikalala. Mugabe really did blame the Jooz for the collapse of the Zimbabwean economy! It was actually one of a number of factors he gave (loss of foreign currency, drought, Blair's sanctions, white people). Mugabe said "The Jewish" left and closed down their factories when South Africa "was without Apartheid".
Snuki Zikalala really enjoyed the interview, often laughing and joking with Mugabe. I wonder how he got his job?
That's what I call a powerful leader.

Zikalala has plenty of controversy around him to begin with. How he ascended in the ranks and how he's upset many associates has also been written about.
Here's hoping the ANC clique he's part of gets displaced by other, and more reasonable, cliques within the ANC itself eventually.

Why am I not surprised by this ludacris school of thought. I am of the belief that Mugabe is so bored with life he finds new ways to be ridiculous so that someone can come up to him and slap some sense but alas it never happens
