I am sorry minister but I find this seriously offensive. Small business gets a seriously raw deal in SA with little or no support from government. The last thing they need or deserve is this unwarranted threat when they hardly participate in the looting of state coffers.

Kill your people. Destroy your land. Destroy your glorious legacy. Live large while your people starve. That's fine. All you need to redeem yourself is to spew "revolutionary" insults and quotes against the west and white people. That, makes you a martyr. That easy.

This is an unfortunate call in my view. If the same statements were uttered by say Skhumba, we'd be laughing it off. We need to refuse for people to choose who should make jokes or not. Jokes should be treated on their merits, not who's making them.
