When my meticulous and methodical leader decided to take a working holiday at his farm, I, an Honorable with limited liquidity in these Si Normal times of fuel hikes, aimlessly drove my latest Range Rover to Si Normal town to buy a pocket of cement.


Despite it being April Fool’s Day, I received a warm welcome. The Si Normal ambassador was acting as a saleslady, as all regular staff were on holiday. After carefully counting my coins to pay for the cement, she suggested that it would be best to have the bag delivered to my house using a forklift during a normal working day. A very considerate gesture!

As a token of appreciation for enriching his company with my coin purchase, the Si Normal ambassador gifted me an extra item—a calendar. Now, don’t mind what people are saying. It was just a small gift, neatly wrapped in a brown paper bag. Unlike the past regime, where honorables received brown envelopes under the cover of darkness, my calendar was gifted in broad daylight.

Since my hands are constantly fatigued from lifting job seekers’ CVs, I asked the Si Normal ambassador herself to carry my calendar to my fuel-saving vehicle. What I didn’t know was that a disgruntled, bombastic, and binoculatic leader had positioned DSL cameras all over Si Normal!

To my annoyance, the viral pictures now circulating show the ambassador carrying a briefcase—not a paper bag. Si Normal iyi! Photoshop at its best!

So, let me set the record straight. It was just a Si Normal calendar, with a fiscal year that conveniently begins on April 1st—Fool’s Day. And by the way, this Si Normal place is simply an extension of fool’s day!

My real concern now is identifying the disgruntled individual who shot and leaked those photos. Si Normal to take pictures of honorables without permission! Where is this new culture of spying on your leaders coming from? Si Normal iyi!

And why, all of a sudden, is the public making our lives harder than our chikanda mbwelenge economy? If we promised Toyota Corollas and they are out of stock, can’t we use Range Rovers?

Ba 1 million ka Normal tesana! Surely, should a mere Si Normal calendar cause such national distress?
