Floyd Shivambu, who styles himself on having “superior logic”, has a long history of strange logic.

In yesterday's post, I tried to illustrate that Floyd Shivambu, a crass bully-cum-politician, has a peculiar grasp of logic. He calls it “superior logic”. I'll leave it to you, dear reader, to determine what is superior about it.
If you are in any doubt that Comrade Floyd's grasp of logic is, at best, tenuous; or that he has merely suffered a brief setback since earning the nickname, “Fraud” Shivambu after being caught syphoning large sums of money from a bank heist; or that he does, indeed, possess the extraordinary superior logic, perhaps I can share a story I wrote about Fraud some years back.
In a previous post, I wrote about finding my old blog site, ReasonCheck—from nine years ago. In it, I came across this piece:
“Sleeping Around” means...
I've just listened to Redi Direko interview Floyd Shivambu, spokesman for the ANC Youth League, about his outrageous statement that Helen Zille sleeps around with her male cabinet colleagues.
Zille has appointed an all male cabinet of useless people, majority of whom are her boyfriends and concubines so that she can continue to sleep around with them, yet she claims to have the moral authority to question our President.
When asked what he meant by Zille “sleeping around” with her male colleagues, he explained: ‘“Sleeping around” means sleeping around’.
Further questioning revealed that the ANCYL interpreted the phrase “sleeping around” to mean “sleeping around”. And they stand by that.

Floyd is our very own Humpty Dumpty, only with less imagination:
“When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said, in a rather scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.”
“The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.”
“The question is,” said Humpty Dumpty, “which is to be master—that's all.”
Through the Looking Glass.
And then he told Redi to stop being childish. So there!
So just when you thought these cretins couldn't get more idiotic, they think they can say anything at all with impunity since their words mean exactly what they want them to mean, nothing more, nothing less. As Floydie shouts: “We say what we mean, and we mean what we say”. If you know what he means. Which means what it means. I mean!
So they can make the following slanderous statement, without fear of being sued since they are just words uttered by a buffoon whose words bear no relation to what the rest of the world would understand them to mean:
If the fake racist girl Zille continues to speak hogwash like she has been doing during elections, we will take militant action against her, and demonstrate to her that she does not have monopoly over the Western Cape. The fake racist girl who was dropped on a head as child should understand that South Africa will never be a Mickey-mouse Republic like she wants to portray it.
I've left out the rest of the post since it not that interesting nine years later.
I can't help but liken Floyd's logic (tautology) to Theresa May's “Brexit means Brexit!” It's equally devoid of meaning. Could it just be a Floydian slip?
