In the South African Parliament recently, an MP during his speech told a story:

"There was a father who gave 100 Rand each to his 3 sons and asked them to buy things and fill up a room completely.

First son bought hay for 100 Rand - but couldn't fill the room entirely.

Second son bought cotton for 100 Rand - but couldn't fill the room entirely.

Third son bought a candle for 1 Rand - and lit it up and the room was filled with light completely.

The proud MP declared: "Our President Jacob Zuma is like the third son. From the day he has taken charge of his office, our country is filled with the bright light of prosperity"

A voice from the backbench asked "Where is the remaining 99 Rand?"
