Written by Brown Shuga from the blog SHUGAS BLOGIWOOD on 14 May 2009
Favourite this post


I have NO words....


.....actually, I do!. ANCYL, *sigh* get yourself a proper SPOKESPERSON!


                               REDI DIREKO - Talk Radio 702
(She quit enews, someone please find out why for me. Anyway, as much as I love her, I have mixed feelings about what was going on in this particular interview)




VS


FLOYD SHIVAMBU:
Who is a perfect example of  HOW NOT TO BE A SPOKESPERSON.
Zizi Kodwa, I blame you for this mess! How could you leave the ANCYL without making sure that you have a proper replacement? Vuyiswa Tulelo, where are you girl? What the hell is wrong with the ANCYL? Can't you guys do anything right? Ftshek maan!

FS



Floyd was interviewed (or rather he called in) on 702, 13 May 2009. You can listen to the rest of the interview on www.702.co.za. Link is provided at the end of the article. These are just highlights.

Redi: You've promised to take militant action against the fake racist girl, what does that mean....

Floyd: Look, let's clarify something first before we go into those questions...I think it's very unfortunate, actually childish of you as a radio presenter to make conclusive remarks without having consulted us to explain the context of what we mean by Hellen Zille being racist, really Redi you're being childish.

Redi: What do you mean “racist”?

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

Floyd: childish for you as a radio presenter to behave the way you've been behaving...
Redi: blah blah blah... I read what you said and heard you on television, I don't have to call you everytime I open my mouth blah blah blah

Redi: Okay, let's move on...on the question of Hellen Zille and her boyfriends and concubines, because as you've explained, there are certain meanings of dictionary words but the ANCYL has its own definitions, blah blah blah blah....

blah blah blah blah

Floyd: No no no no listen....
Redi: I am listening but you are not making sense...
Floyd: If you let me finish my sentences you will understand. Please be patient, listen to me coz we have been patient, we've been listening to you the whole day...
Redi: Well, it is my show...carry on

blah blah blah blah

Redi: what do you mean by sleeping around?
Floyd: We mean exactly that. We say what we mean and we mean what we say. We say that she's sleeping around
Redi: Hold on, there's a reason why I'm asking that because in one interview, you denied that sleeping around meant having sex with more than one person, you said....
(Floyd interrupts)
Redi: Hold on...let me finish, you've been telling me I must let you finish, let me finish, you said “No, we never said she was having sex with them, we said she was sleeping around with them.” What does that mean?
Floyd: It means sleeping around, our interpretation of sleeping around is sleeping around. We mean what we say and we say what we mean.

Redi: You are being ridiculous Floyd. Your interpretation of sleeping around is sleeping around, what does that mean? Answer the question!
Floyd: It means exactly that, it means that....
Redi: That she's having sex with them?
Floyd: That she's a political prostitute who doesn't have...
Redi: What's a political prostitute?
Floyd: It's people who sleep around...
Redi: Getting naked and having sex?

Floyd: No look, don't ….that is not...
Redi: I don't understand, I'm asking, I'm asking....it's not a statement I'm making...blah blah blah blah, what do you mean sleeping around....
Floyd: There's no other explanation that we are going to give except to say that she is sleeping around

Redi: I need to understand what you are saying
Floyd: Unfortunately there's a problem with yourself if you don't understand what sleeping around means
Redi: But explain, it's your role as the spokesperson
Floyd: Our explanation of sleeping around is that she is sleeping around...there's no other explanation we can give and if you don't understand then there's a problem with you...
Redi: Can you help me understand then?
Floyd: Helping you understand is to explain that sleeping around means sleeping around and if you don't understand you must go check, I don't know where....Sleeping around is sleeping around and we are going to consistently say she's sleeping around. We are not going to change from that....
Redi: You actually don't know what you mean?
Floyd: We know what we mean, we say what we mean and we mean what we say..

Redi: Oh for goodness's sake, stop playing with words, what do you mean she's sleeping around?
Floyd: You want me to answer the question in the manner in which you want?
Redi: No, I want you to answer the question full stop. Just answer the question in whatever way...
Floyd: Sleeping around means sleeping around...there's no other explanation we can give except that she's sleeping around...unfortunately even if you can ask me a million times, we are not going to change that explanation. We mean what we say and we say what we mean.

Redi: Blah blah blah...stop lying....blah blah blah blah don't tell us about private phone calls...

They keep interrupting each other....blah blah blah

Redi: I”m sure you were chosen as a spokesperson because you have a brain and you can express yourself....(Floyd is speaking in the background)

they argue...also keep talking about sleeping around, what they meant etc etc etc...


Redi: Floyd, I don't know which planet you come from....
Floyd: Don't be angry Redi,
Redi: I'm not angry, I”m not angry..
Floyd: You're angry, calm down, calm down...
Redi: I'm not angry, I”m so not angry...anyway, we're not talking about me and you are now deflecting from the fact that you've come on the radio and you've given us the most ridiculous answers to very simple questions. Anybody with a brain knows that sleeping around, means having sex and sleeping with more than one person. I was giving you an opportunity to say what you meant by it and you can't answer a simple question but you've wasted time...

Floyd: Our explanation is that she is sleeping around and we're not going to change from that
Redi: Because you can't think, that is the problem
Floyd: It's not about us thinking...no, you are being angry, you are being typical of yourself, please can you grow up a bit
Redi: I don't think that you know anything about me but let's leave it there, I don't think that we're talking about me

blah blah blah blah we can't hear what they're both saying blah blah blah talking at the same time blah bla bla

Floyd: At least in the future, when you want to speak about us, consult us
Redi: I don't have to...
Floyd: blah blah, you're a radio presenter, it's not about you as a person, it's about 702, that station does not belong to you, it belongs to the people....
Redi: Okay, Okay, I hear you, I hear you Floyd and thanks for saying that....

blah blah blah blah bla blah blah blah blah blah

Redi: Can you help me understand then?
Floyd:
Helping you understand is to explain that sleeping around means sleeping around and if you don't understand you must go check, I don't know where....Sleeping around is sleeping around and we are going to consistently say she's sleeping around. We are not going to change from that.... 

Imfishimfishi yani ke lena. Hhayi mani, where was the lady kanene?

I was giving you an opportunity to say what you meant by it and you can't answer a simple question but you've wasted time...  Oh I sense Debra here. How was the tone BS be4 I comment?

Thats a seriuos accusation by the youth LEAGUE...............SHE SLEEPS AROUND

Brown Shuga
15 May 2009 06:21

Redi tried to keep her cool & obviously it was a mission, given the typa person she was interviewing bt there were so many Debra Patta characteristics in her style, I was left a bit disappointed. The throwing of insults (e.g. You can't think - meaning u're DOM) & how she carried on with that question 2 a point where even she almost seemed as silly as Floyd. Guess that demonstrated how the ANCYL can take the most respected individuals & bring them to stoop DOWN to their level. That's meant to be a diss to the YL, hope it sounds like one :-(

Cande

Haiye i think JUJU should have done the interview, he gives better answers...

15 May 2009 08:12

She really should have just ended the interview right there and then, instead of entertaining such nonsense, i meaan reaaaally now. This ANCYL serves no purpose with people like Floyd mos, they must just disband it.

15 May 2009 08:54

I was not impressed with the way Redi's make up on e-news, if i were i would also resign.  She was into all types of hair styles but short hair which suits her face perfectly.  All along i thought a political prostitute was the one who floor crosses.  What is Zizi's position now?

Molilo
15 May 2009 08:58

Zizi ke spokeperson sa JZ I think

Brown Shuga
15 May 2009 09:02

Yeah, Presidential Spokesperson. I saw him at the Inaguration, ohlatswehile.... He looks good maan...and I never used to think about ZIzi...

Molilo

No Shuga if I do write a blog about it and people google Bloem Celtic the person might add 1 + 1 and know I see him in a different light now.

sleeping around is sleeping around, 13 minutes or no 13 minutes but we mean that she is sleeping around.

Toxic
15 May 2009 10:04

So I don't understand why she kept on asking the same question okwakhe, it seems like yena k'qala she didn't have anymore questions to ask except for this one

Yes Cheesa.If Floyd has answered then what? Would the interview have ended? i was not impressed with any of them....couldn't remove the fool from the equation.

OMG what an idiot.lol i wud have loved to actuall y here this on radio.Is this person getting paid to talk such nonsense, also disappointed in Redi for entertaining this fool 

Brown Shuga
15 May 2009 10:28

<<<BS: Arent you taking this to another level now? what is this supposed to mean? That ANCYL are low?????????>>> Okay, Sorry Funky. I should have said Floyd's behaviour is low. There are good people in the ANCYL.

Brown Shuga
15 May 2009 10:30

.,,.but their recent outbursts in the media have been LOW. They should let people like Vuyiswa Tulelo do the talking for them....

I wanted to listen to the podcast..and i ended up on several of Redi's including the roundtable discussions were she youth group representatives. The other parties were represented by their leaders as usula and ancyl was represented by Floyd..who said that Julius is too important to debate "less important" people like bo Khumo and the others...(i love the IFP youth leader a lot)...

I kept thinking...if the national youth league or whatever they call it was comp[osed of all the youth party leaders (minus floyd and co.)...it would be so effective..i think they are a smart lot...but in my dreams hey..

Ina later interview with Julius he said that the other youth parties are too less important to debate with, he should be debating with Zille rather than Khumo...??????...K..less said..good for my sanity..

I was getting upset..t'wasnt funny anymore...bocos i feel ancyl...dont really need anybody else..you could bring in Andile Mazwai, but if he is of them...we will always get this from them...i feel they have no respect for anybody but their clique..and by clique i mean the 20 of them in th eladreship..they dont care about ther followers, they dont care about anybody...so we'll never get anything better from them.....
Its actually very upsetting...i will be "mobalising" the young people i know to do things for themselves...bcos nobody is gonna help them...ispite of the position they have to help..what do they do anyway..this youth parties..ive never reapd th benefits of their existence..post 1994 that is...

As for Redi....i think for that day, she left her brillinat mind at home. bcos she knew she wasnt going to need it.....she always has fun when she's hosting ancyl...and i think she likes it......
Gonn miss her on tv...

Brown Shuga

15 May 2009 11:59

Floyd is a politician and a strategist and not a public speaker, I am not too sure how they got to the conclusion that he would do a good job as a speaker. Having worked with him at the SAUS (he was a secretary general then) and he most of the time had to end his meeting before time coz he couldnt control his crowd so how they decided to appoint him as a spokesperson of the ANCYL  is truly beyond me.
This very much sounds like something he would say, he doesnt have a good way with words shem.
Inna nutshell nam ndihlazekile :(

maddie
15 May 2009 12:09

J-Girl - he's terrible, speak to him please and tell him not to speak in public again unless he's giving a written speech

15 May 2009 12:44

@ Tox, will do just now dear
@ Maddie, lol... when u send some1 outthere, you hope with your life that they will handle the interview the way they handle normal conversations but somehow shem they underestimate the power of these interviewers and they get overwhelmed then they stuff up... urgh!
@ Cheesa, Zizi was mos the spokesperson of the ANCYL when Fikile was the president so he had served his 2 terms as the sp so he had to leave sadly, constitution didnt allow him to return and besides shem he needed growth naye nje but it was a great loss to the ANCYL. To this date I still think Sibu Sibiya will make the best sp for the ANCYL but she is not so active in politics anymore.

Brown Shuga
15 May 2009 12:56

LOL Guys, I got an email from the ANCYL Rivonia and it was sent to my "work" email address....no idea how they got hold of that one....
