ANC-stylee
Good god. There ARE worse things than corruption, it appears. What on earth would possess the ANC (South Africa’s ruling party, the Absolutely Nauseating Clothes Party) to sell these awful, ugly, disgusting jackets? Just how much trouble is our poor country in? I’ve always voted ANC – nothing has turned me from that, not the antics of Zuma, the idiocy of Malema, the stupidity of Manto, nothing. But this is the kind of crime against humanity that can drive anyone into the welcoming arms of Helen Zille. For god’s sake, ANC – get a little dignity! And these pieces of crap come in xxxl! – that kind of sums up the fat cat thing. Damn, my eyeballs are bleeding. The is the first convincing argument I’ve ever seen in favour of curtailing freedom of expression. (Thanks to @urbanrenewal for the heads up, and the resultant rising gorge).

I find the military-inspired jacket (ref: PBF03BBM) particularly charming. Who knew the ANC could be so fashion-forward and still get it wrong?
Who knew indeed. Well… probably everyone, after those white shoes of President Zuma!
Do they glow in the dark? I might consider buying one if they do.
I think the appropriate response would be: “You vote for the ANC?”
must say, PBF04BBM (like Zuma) is kind of growing on me…
How can you like those jackets??
Chris, I really enjoyed and appreciated your piece in yesterday’s M&G. I’ve just moved to Hout Bay and am amused (and infuriated) every day by the tourists who trek to the entrance of Imizamo Yethu to photograph the shacks, as if they are on safari and observing the wildlife. ‘Heck, Hank,’ they will say when they get back to Hopeless, Illinois, ‘We saw poor people in South Africa, and only a mile away from our luxury guest house in a leafy suburb.’
Thanks, Juno – that’s the frustration that drove me mad. Sigh. Jon – like is a strong word. Hate would be better.
Julia, you’re a woman of taste. Bad taste.
Thanks for the comments.
I see most of them have breast pleats, for man boobs perhaps?
I think they’re rather fetching…
In a leopard-skin-and-white-takkies sort of way.
Where do I swipe my credit card?
Oh, i’ll send you my banking details. Although now that you’ve written ‘credit card’ on my blog, it’s probably going to go down under the impact of Nigerian spam.
