One or two folk have expressed surprise that there was no
Christmas issue of the Nyamandhlovu Cleft Stick and Messenger.
The Editor in Chief, Mr Ballpoint Lumumba, has explained that he
forgot, because he had other things on his mind. Notably the
shapely bottom of Miss Beauty Khumalo, who has just taken up her
post as gym mistress of Nyamandhlovu Private Finishing School for
Gels (Pvt) Ltd.
Mr Lumumba regrets the omission, because it means that Pres
Mugabe will not be getting Gladys Dongo's Christmas Message,
which was to be conveyed in the Christmas Issue.
Asked what Christmas Message Gladys was sending to President
Mugabe, Mr Lumumba said: "Turkey!"
Meanwhile, intellectuals around the world were also hoping for a
wise and thoughtful Christmas message from Professor Isosceles
Vilikazi, the well-known Nyamandhlovu-based academic, inventor
and political observer.
However, the Prof has not sent a Christmas message this year. He
feels that Christmas messages should be light-hearted and cheery,
and the Prof has been in sombre mood of late.
Instead, he has gone on a quiet fishing holiday to Gokwe. When it
was pointed out that there is no fishing in Gokwe, the Prof
explained that he wanted a quiet fishing holiday, and that if he
wanted a busy fishing holiday, he would have chosen somewhere
else.
