=No safety and security for Nqakula in the SACP=

Safety and Security Minister Charles Nqukula must surely have realised by now that his days as national chairman of the SA Communist Party are numbered.

What with the Young Communist League, an affiliate of the SACP, viciously lashing out at his wife, Home Affairs Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula, as they did this week.

In a statement issued by spokesperson Castro Ngobese – no relation to wither the Cuban revolutionary or Scara – the YCL described their leader’s wife as “a decoration, busy polishing her nails and sitting on problems”.

How about this for a classic: “Mapisa-Nqakula’s department is a soapie competing with the likes of //Generations//, a drama series on SABC1.”

If Nqakula, the husband, was still in the good books of his own party, Ngobese would not have been this brutal.
