You don’t need to go (to Oxford University)
(24 Jan '09)

You don’t need to go
to Oxford University
(an Equal Opportunities employer
you will be pleased to know)
to put bread on the table

You don’t need to go
to Oxford University
to know that says he
Julius Malema our defender
to students who lend him their ears

(In fact you don’t even
have to go and study
to protect the revolution)

You don’t need to go
to Oxford University
to be a security guard
to defend the ruling party
(from its very own self)

You don’t need to go
to any other place
because the people
will teach you
(about the political economy)

The people will teach you
as they have done Zuma
right here on the ground
(where the grass is much
greener in a BEE-kind-of-way)

Right here on the ground
you can be the bodyguards
(with blue lights a-flashing)

You don’t need to go
to Oxford University
just go vote for the revolution
it will set you free

Who can resist shooting off, what with ANC Youth League’s loudspeaker, Julius Malema, shooting off from the foot which is in the mouth, this time at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology’s Bellville Campus (“Students must fight to defend Zuma”, Cape Times, Friday January 23 2009).
