As you might expect, Jacob Zuma and the Guptas find themselves at the top of an alleged coup plot, whereby Elvis Ramosebudi would have assassinated each and every person as part of a ‘state capture’ cleanse.

According to the Hawks, Ramosebudi had been planning his ‘coup’ for months before they pounced. Elvis appeared in court on Friday, where it quickly became clear that he might not be ‘all there’, something the South African public didn’t fail to notice.

Mzansi quickly moved from the alleged plot to kill 19 people named in the state capture report, to the possibility that the entire thing was made up by the Hawks and camp Zuma for whatever purpose they might have had in mind.

Anyway, a list was shown to the court which has the names of pretty much the entire Zuma cabal. If nothing else, it’s a foreshadowing of folks to keep an eye on in the run-up to the vote of no confidence in parliament, and the ANC’s elective conference in December.

As you would expect, folks online had all the jokes once the list was released.
