Meme - The Scrap Heap of History
Zimbabwe's 90-year-old President Robert Mugabe fell down a staircase as he walked off a podium after addressing supporters at Harare International Airport. Never to miss a chance for a bit of humour, internet users turned his tumble into a series of memes. A meme is defined as an element of a culture or system of behaviour passed from one individual to another by imitation. In this cartoon Jacob Zuma is copying Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe.

Surprise Visitor at F.W. de Klerk at the Road Naming Ceremony
Daily Maverick's RANJENI MUNUSAMY writes "The granting of parole to Apartheid killer Eugene de Kock and the renaming of a Cape Town street after FW de Klerk has provoked high emotion and debate. Rightly so. Dialogue and interrogation of issues is how the nation maintains its dynamism and ensures awareness and accountability. The problem is that much of the debate is based on conjecture, conventional wisdom and recycled information, and far too little on facts. Hence we are still debating whether De Klerk ended Apartheid. Distorted history leads to distorted dialogue. And forgetting leads to injustice".

Selebi legacy: Mbeki, Duarte trying to re-write history
Stephen Grootes in the Daily Maverick wrote "Someone as complicated as Jackie Selebi, a former ANC Youth League leader, foreign affairs supremo, Struggle icon and corrupt cop, was always going to have a complicated funeral. Many people would remember only the news headlines of the last decade, the shoes and clothes bought by “my friend, finish en klaar” Glen Agliotti. Those who knew him for a much longer time would remember someone very different." Jessie Duarte and former president Thabo Mbeki have urged the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) to find the “real truth” behind the late Jackie Selebi’s conviction for corruption in August 2010.

The Meaning of "Free " ?
Eugene de Kock, known as Prime Evil will be set free on parole after spending 20 years in prison. Eugene de Kock was directly responsible for more atrocities than any other individual in defence of white minority rule. He was head of a death squad at Vlakplaas, a farm 15 miles (24km) west of Pretoria, where victims were tortured in gruesome fashion and murdered before their bodies were burned or blown up to destroy evidence. De Kock was sentenced in 1996 to two life sentences plus 212 years for crimes including murder, kidnapping and fraud.

Coming Soon - State of the Nation Undress
The EFF would go nude in the National Assembly if they were to be barred from wearing their red overalls, gumboots and maid uniforms. Parliament was working towards toughening several regulations for the National Assembly, including MPs dress code. Rules subcommittee chairman Richard Mdakane said they hoped to finalise the regulations by the end of next month. Malema openly rejected the proposed changes which would mostly likely require the EFF to swap their worker's gear for a more formal look. "We are not going to dress like colonial masters... I am wearing an overall, it's clean and I am not smelly.

Robert McBride's Memory
On 21 December 2006, after a Christmas party, Robert McBride Chief of the Metropolitan (Metro) Police of Ekurhuleni Municipality was involved in a single car collision near Centurion. According to witnesses, McBride was under the influence of alcohol. Ekurhuleni metro police quickly arrived even though the scene was more than 40 km out of their jurisdiction. McBride was quickly removed from the scene by the Ekurhuleni metro police. It was unclear whether in accordance with standard police procedure blood samples were taken by the Ekurhuleni metro police, or by a medical facility, to determine his blood-alcohol level. McBride said afterwards that he had amnesia and could not remember how he rolled the car after returning from an end of year Christmas party and in any case, it was all a racist conspiracy.

Jackie Selebi - BUST
Jackie Selebi, former National Police Commissioner died on last week. Selebi’s public image was that of a pompous loudmouth whose bad behaviour caught up with him. To his friends and comrades, he was witty and charismatic, with his heart in the ANC of old and yearning for redemption.
