So let’s have a good laugh with funny things Politicians in America and South Africa said.

South Africa

• Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma announced the ban on cigarettes – talking about the danger of sharing a zol (cigarette). This caused so much laughter, memes and even a song by Kiffness.
• Jackson Mthembu had everyone in stitches during COVID when he suggested that hospitals are in need of vibrators instead of ventilators.
• Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams talked about Geneva being in France however it is in Switzerland.
• “Now I understand why they built the buses that are too big for the BRT lanes in Nelson Mandela Bay. This is to ensure that Zuma had something big enough to throw people under.” – John Steenhuisen

America

• John F. Kennedy, when asked how he became a war hero: “It was absolutely involuntary. They sank my boat.”
• George W. Bush, at the 2000 Al Smith Dinner: “I see [William F.] Buckley is here tonight, fellow Yale man. We go way back, and we have a lot in common. Bill wrote a book at Yale. I read one.”
• Barack Obama, on Donald Trump: “Now, I know that he’s taken some flak lately, but no one is happier, no one is prouder to put this birth certificate matter to rest than the Donald. And that’s because he can finally get back to focusing on the issues that matter — like, did we fake the moon landing? What really happened in Roswell? And where are Biggie and Tupac?”
• Bob Dole, on the Senate: “If you’re hanging around with nothing to do and the zoo is closed, come over to the Senate. You’ll get the same kind of feeling and you won’t have to pay.”
