after an impudent uct student (and, remarkably, a member of the anc) flipped the birdie at jacob zuma's cavalcade, he was arrested and detained for 24 hours under interrogation.
for such an indecent finger gesture (supposedly shocking and unacceptable) the disgruntled citizen was taken away with a bag over his head and guns waved at him by the presidential thugs. all in the name of free speech, isn't it? i thought the constitution cited freedom of speech and opinion for all south africans?
the university stood behind him in his actions and protested by flipping the birds on campus.
the indecent finger dates back to the antiquity of roman literature. it has been used as a medium of saying 'fuck you and all you stand for' for centuries, in music, politics and cinema.
zuma denies his involvement in the student's arrest.
unsurprisingly, the big chief walks away unscathed, followed by his traffic-parting, blue light flashing cavalcade of black sedans.
