Mpumalanga denies it is banana province as last bananas stolen

The premier of Mpumalanga has denied that he rules a corrupt "banana province", saying that in order to be a banana province you need bananas and all his bananas have been stolen or turned into frogs by witches. Meanwhile he has offered his condolences to another rival who was the victim of a drive-by suicide.

The northeastern province, whose three main exports are timber, shredded accounting documents and dead political opponents, hit the headlines again on the weekend as allegations surfaced around a number of political assassinations ordered by a senior ANC official.
