Bantu Holomisa makes people chuckle after teleprompter mix up
A South African news channel recently gave politicians airtime to have their say and it has provided a good chuckle for viewers.
On a recent episode of 'As It Happens', UDM leader Bantu Holomisa opened up about the need to upskill people, but ran into a bit of a problem with the teleprompter.
When reciting the Chinese proverb, "You give a poor man a fish and you feed him for a day. You teach him to fish and you give him an occupation that will feed him for a lifetime,” the General got a little tongue-tied and paused mid-sentence.

Truth be told the TelePrompt Screen messed me up and caught me unaware. I will catch that fish in future. Thanks for watching.
