Thabo Mbeki suffers problems with household appliances

Thabo Mbeki has revealed significant difficulties with a range of appliances around his household. It seems that the Mbeki residence does not have a working kettle or iron and a number of light bulbs have popped. Indeed, reports have cited Mbeiki wearing a wrinkled shirt in recent meetings, sporting a bump on his head after a collision while peeing in the dark. Messages of sympathy have been sent from around with the African continent, incluing from nearby Zimbabwe. A Zimbabwean punter said:

“We can understand the silence of the South African leader during this difficult time for him personally. I know what it must be like to be unable to iron your shirts in the morning. I have not bought clean underwear for months since hyperinflation meant a pair of socks costs five billion dollars.”

A spokesman for Mbeki said: “President Mbeki is deeply distressed and is simply unable to perform his duties to his full capacity. He wishes he could speak about recent problems in neighbouring Zimbabwe, but he is just useless without a coffee in the morning. Who can confront civil meltdown without some caffeine in the morning?”

Amnesty International however offered a differing opinion: “Has this fucking twat never visited a fucking Woolworths?!”
