Certified liar.
Whatever comes out of his mouth, he means the exact opposite.
If he says “come”, he means “go”.
If he says “I will reduce cost of mealie meal”, it means…..
If he says “load shedding is history”, it means…..
If he says “I will fight corruption”, it means..
We have all seen for ourselves what this man actually means from his actions.
Why are politicians deceptive?
They lie with a straight face.
Vote wisely in 2026.
