It became his signature, it endeared him to many frustrated citizens – the majority of whom are jobless and frustrated youth. Instead of driving around in a convoy of expensive cars, this man rubbed shoulders and walked side by side with the most disillusioned and discontented members of our society (straight out of the Julius Malema campaign playbook), that man is Dr Panduleni Filemon Mbango Itula – Independent Presidential Candidate.
