The Nyamandhlovu Cleft Stick and Messenger is renowned for the quality of its
paper, which is generally considered not only to be superior to the Times,
the Telegraph, and the Washington Post, but also softer and more absorbent
than the products of Kimberley Clark and the Carlton Tissue Corporation.
However, it is in the actual reading material that the NCS&M really excels,
because the quality of its journalism makes it a really good read before you
crumple it up in preparation for the penultimate act, which precedes pulling
up your trousers and leaving the longdrop.
It is not suprising, therefore, that while all the other hacks of the
journalistic world have been reporting on those queuing up to renounce their
foreign citizenship, it was only the NCS&M reporter who had the initiative
to investigate the even longer queues forming up on the other side of the
block.
The NCS&M can now provide accurate figures for people queuing up to renounce
their citizenship of the following countries:
South Africa - plenty thousands
UK - a few thousand less
Portugal - not so many thousand
Greece - lots
Ghana - more than Portugal, but not as many as Greece
Outer Mongolia - 2
Zimbabwe - 8,876,972.
