In a rare public statement since taking office, reclusive president Jacob Zuma says he was misquoted on job creation, saying that he never promised half a million jobs by the end of the year but rather half a million knobs. He promised a speedy rollout of the knobs and has reportedly appointed Julius Malema as Chief Knob to oversee the knobbing programme.

Zuma's promise in early June that he would create 500,000 jobs in six months was met with surprise by economists and other people with Grade 4 educations who wondered how the President planned to defy the worst global recession since the 1980s.

However in early July Zuma appeared to be defying his critics as he created nine jobs, appointing three people to chaperone his wives to public events and six to wheel life-sized mannequins of himself back and forth in front of the Presidency windows to reassure voters that he was at work.

But in a dramatic about-face this morning the President explained that he had been misquoted, and that he had intended to roll out half a million knobs, not jobs.

Hahaha. Pwned.

I would love to see them pull off the half-a-mil jobs, though. But I fear it's a pipe dream.
 
So if he is now going to pull 500000 knobs, surely this would go into the guiness book as the biggest w@nker!!!
 
" 500,000 jobs in six months " - but yet the failed to save FrameTextiles in DBN recently,thats 1400 jobs lost already, far less promises and more action required.
