South Africa
I report on the, shall we say vibrant, South African Parliament for South Africa's biggest online news platform, News24.
I started my career in 2007 at the Afrikaans daily newspaper Die Burger, after obtaining a BPhil degree in journalism from the University of Stellenbosch, where I previously also obtained an MPhil degree in political management.
Cyril Ramaphosa doesn't call a spade a spade. He'll rather use that rhetorical spade to shovel some more bureaucratic gibberish on the massive pile of bullshit already stinking up our Parliament. This was the case again on Wednesday, when Ramaphosa was in the National Assembly to answer questions.

Of late the DA in the Western Cape showed signs of a not-so-mysterious illness. We've seen before our very eyes the once proud liberation movement, the ANC, turn itself into a lurching zombie, stomping on our country, stealing our money, devouring itself. How did it get to this?
In these days of evil Presidentes - working in the clampdown! We can't speak to no delegates - working in the clampdown! The coffee's shit, the atmosphere's lit - working in the clampdown! We're kept in a pen, herded around like cattle - working in the clampdown!
Johannesburg - Shortly after 14:00, the ANC elective conference at Nasrec finally shows signs of clicking into gear, about five hours later than planned. At the front of the stage, inside the plenary hall, delegates from KwaZulu-Natal, Free State, Mpumalanga and North West are bouncing while singing songs in support of Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma.
