I have always seen South African humour as quite a great thing and it is not only limited to the normal people but to the people who run the country as well. I think it’s good that we have a sense of humour about us because it would be seriously boring if we had someone like the Queen running this shindig. We would never laugh!
But luckily I live in South Africa and we do get some quality comedians coming through the ranks.
First up is our Minerals and Energy Minister Buyelwa Sonjica. This chick is hilarious! Wednesday this week came round and she was speaking to parliament. Naturally parliament has politicians in it and when it gets to the middle of the week, their blood sugar levels are shot from eating pies and drinking Coke and they need something to be perked up.
Which is where our girl Buyelwa comes in to lighten up everyones day. Speaking on the energy crisis and how to save electricity, Buyelwa came up with something that I would have thought would have come from the mouth of a 1st grader. I thought she was stupid but then I realised that her tongue was firmly in her cheek! I mean, it’s QUITE obvious that she is having us on here. I’m sure when she said this many of the politicians that were asleep would have woken up to look for hidden microphones and cameras.
Alas I don’t think there were any, but Buyelwa was just having a little private joke with herself, and in the process had me amused. So to save electricity, and I quote her first sentence:
“Go to sleep earlier so that you can grow and be cleverer.”
No. No it’s not possible. Are you serious?
Whhhooooooooooooooooo hoooooooooooo hooooooooooooo! Heeeeeeee ha ha ha!
Buyelwa, you are in the same league as Ricky Gervais, you are an absolute cracker! What a corker of a joke! Honestly, if we are on some sort of hidden camera show, that is TOP quality coming from South Africa. I’m so used to the budget humour found on Laugh Out Loud! that this is truly something to behold.
Ricky Gervais- Inspiring South Africa
I salute you my girl, and this weeks SLXS Top Humour Award goes to you darling. Keep up the good work but you might want to look at a career change. Comedy is your forte.
“grow and be cleverer”
Classic!

Someone who is sharing the award this week is the South African Football Association vice president Chief Mwelo Nonkonyana.
Mwelo has obviously taken a leaf out of Jake Whites book and gone for the whole vibe of showing supreme confidence in his team. However Mwelo, Jake actually had a plan and he knew it could work. Jake was a mastermind. You however, are an absolute fool!
And to quote Mwelo on why he is not that intelligent:
“I believe South Africa will win the World Cup in 2010″
OH
MY
GREATNESS!
Mwelo, I don’t quite know how to ask this, but did Ricky Gervais adopt you when you were younger, because you are OFF THE HOOK! You are hysterical buddy! I just phoned my gran to tell her this and I heard her falling off her zimmer frame. At first I thought she had hurt herself but then I heard her laughing! She can’t even talk, she said she will call back later in the day.
Mwelo you are an absolute class act and for that I salute you.
I can imagine how boring it must be sitting in your position, watching Bafana getting thrashed day in and day out. So little comments like this are used by yourself to amuse the masses. I think it’s great! I used to amuse myself in school by telling people that I actually had a girlfriend and that she was model. I mean, if you can’t have it, you can always dream it, right?
There were other times I would pretend to win the lottery and once I even fixed global warming. Oh Mwelo just to throw some comments out there to boost the worlds confidence:
“The world will not run out of oil, and the new batch of oil bubbling up will not cause greenhouse gases but will rather give off water as a by-product”
You know, while we are boosting South Africas confidence, we might as well boost the confidence of the entire planet. Oh and we will walk on the sun. In boardshorts.
No look it’s entirely possible.

That did lighten my week up a whole lot, what with all the economic recession and global warming and all that rubbish.
But I mean let’s be serious, there is NO global warming and the US economy is FINE!
Honestly…really…it’s cool.
Let’s leave it at that.
