President Zoom Zoom and the Zumettes
Filed Under Play
The English tabloids have had a field day with President Zuma’s visit to the UK.
Labelled, President Zoom-Zoom after his reproductive and marital ability, his 20+ children have been slated as ‘Zumettes’.

Simon, delicious, particularly the pic at the end.
Reminds me of the story of the Springbok rugby captain (not sure which one) who, when the team was having dinner with the queen, said in Afrikaans that if anybody dared pilfer a piece of the Royal silver cutlery he would personaly ‘bliksem’ them?
Cheers
