Nevertheless, modern socialism shall blunt the blade of evil.

Those of you with a penchant for spotting the non sequitur in South African performance poetry will recognise the title of this post: it is by none other than South Africa's de/famed 'People's Poet', Mzwakhe Mbuli. Now what, you will ask, has this got to do with Mahendra? Is it a matter of 'Triple M', a la another Mbuli poem, this time Mansell, Michael, Mzwakhe?

Last night, when TM called me, she reminded me also of the Raghunath's interest in the People's Poet, as discussed in the delightful investigation into Mahendra's fridge by Tashi of Tashitagg fame (and also mentioned in the early days of this blog, I might point out for the benefit of rival Facebook Mahendra groups).

Egads! I thought, I had completely forgotten about Mahendra's thesis on Mbuli (in 2004 still unfinished - is it finished now?). And, zounds! I thought, the Raghunath shares, in addition to Scotch and F1 racing, another of my interests. If the Raghunath will deign to contact us - as he does do with other sites - we will point him to some good, critical sources on Mzwakhe.
