Dear Prez Zuma,
We know that April 12 is a very special day for you. In fact, thousands came out today to march for YOU! Can you believe that?! Ugh, you’re soooo popular.
Forget the fact that many are calling you to step down or are blaming you for our economic turmoil. Today, that’s not important. Today, it’s all about you. So, here are a few people who wanted to wish you the happiest of birthdays.
Brian Khafela wanted to thank you for turning us into enemies.

Nthabiseng Mudau wants you to resign and bury yourself. (Actually that sounds like her birthday wish. Why are people so selfish?)

But don’t fret, there are still a few people who have faith in you and think you have time to change your ways. Like Lucas Khoza, for instance.

And it sounds like at least one protester would appreciate seeing more of your lovely face. Maybe just from far.

Hope your day was spent surrounded by lots of concerned – we mean caring – people. You deserve it.
Xoxoxo,
