Zanu-PF breakfast out of stock

The election standoff in neighbouring Zimbabwe got the creative juices flowing this week at a South African café patronised by the foreign media, reports Sapa.


Diners at The Chef in Johannesburg, near the offices of the BBC, Sky News and other international media groups, were given a choice between an MDC (mushroom, diced ham and cheese) omelette and Bob’s Election-Winning Chicken for lunch on Thursday.

Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe (Bob to The Chef) can take comfort in the knowledge that, despite his Zanu-PF’s rout in parliamentary elections, his chicken (a nod to the party’s rooster symbol) was the hands-down favourite.

When it came to choosing a governing party, the offering was more constrained. Patrons were asked to decide between Zanu-PF and the MDC on a mock ballot slip. The only problem was that the Zanu-PF box came pre-ticked.

As for the Zanu-PF Breakfast, The Chef regretted to inform: Sorry, no stock.

Prices were listed in Zimbabwe dollars, with a zero added every hour.
