Saturday Night Live, the popular US comedy/satire show, recently launched a new segment, called “Really?”

“In the light of the above, I have come to the difficult conclusion that it is neither possible nor desirable for the NPA to continue with the prosecution of Mr Zuma,” says acting NPA head Mokotedi Mpshe.
