Business is business!
One day at a night school in Hillborough, Jo'burg, a teacher said to the class of 25 plus-year-olds, I'll give R20 to the person who can tell me who was the most famous man who ever lived."
A Zulu man put his hand up and said, "It was Shaka."
The teacher said, "Sorry Philani, that's not correct."
Then a Sotho man put his hand up and said, "It was Moshoeshoe."
The teacher replied, "I'm sorry, Moeti, that's not right either.
Finally, a Ndebele guy raised his hand and said, "It was Jesus Christ."
The teacher said, "That's absolutely right, Langa, come up here and I'll give you the R20." As the teacher was giving Langa his money, she said, "You know Langa, since you're a traditional ancestor-believing Ndebele, I was very surprised you said Jesus Christ."
Langa replied, "Yes. In my heart I knew it was Joshua Nkomo, but business is business!"
