I hope he brings along a stack of t-shirts. That should calm the masses down.

Zuma doesn't even understand big numbers, how's he going to understand advanced stuff like economic growth and prosperity?

Like they say, fees should be reduced to a number Zuma can read.

He will just dance around like a halfwit with that chameleon look of his and dazzle them with a freshly brasso'd shower head.

Who can ever trust Zuma again after his recent displays of illiteracy.

The ANC, if they have any shred of honour in them, should submit a vote of no confidence in Zuma.

I would go so far as to sing the ANC's praises if they would do that.

Far too little and far too late. There is no way I would ever sing for that useless party.

Wishing him a good laugh.

I suspect the students will tell him to f off unless he brings a 0% promise with him.

Very simple, if he tries to read slowly off of a page, he will lose the crowd instantly.
The protesters want answers now, they don't want to listen to some moron fail to read off a page. He is going to have to manage it with little aid from his papers.
