DEAR JULIUS

I have been an avid follower of your pronouncements for quite a long time. Some of them are quite original. Others, not so much. But then, granted, I can't expect you to be reinventing the wheel at every step. All the same, I find that there is a lot of depth in your thought. So much so that, when I try to peer into it, all I can discern is darkness. That's how deep it is.

Recently I have watched with interest your calls for the nationalisation of the South African mines. In fact, I am waiting for their share prices to reach junk status on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange before I start buying them. You, Julius Malema, should do the same.

As for the word nationalisation, after we own the lot, we can safely exclude it from our dictionary. How's that for an intelligent suggestion?
