Dear Comrade Govender,
You seem to forget the reality that:-
- We cannot say, “Top 8” – because then we’re broke;
- We cannot say, “Top 7” – because then we’re dead;
- We, as the ANC, are saying, “Top 6” – and we are hoping that you (Victoria Island) will carry us as we pay-off the factions with the 2 spare;
- We, as CR17, are saying, “Top 5” – and we are auctioning off the 3 spare to garner support;
Luckily:-
- We are not claiming, “Top 4” – with 4 on the floor and 4 spare;
- We are not pushing, “Top 3” – with a 5 star Beijing-Shanghai spare;
- We are not touting, “Top 2” – with last year’s Naija Surprise taking 6 spare; and
- We are not wysing, “Top 1” – with a dead 7 spare in tow;
We hope that this explains things clearly.
Yours faithfully,
Luthuli’s Housecoattails
