Apparently the State of the Union address was not a night for facts, though. Even Melania didn't look impressed.
Where would we be without Zapiro and Poplak's latest take on the state of the nation / president / country?
I loved this bit: "Ramaphosa told a heat-stunned crowd that he wanted corruption wiped away, and that he wanted punctuality to rule: every cadre in the ANC would have to set their Breitlings not to Dubai time, but to CAT. Cleanliness and efficiency; technocracy to the rescue.
