Well, your interactions indicate that there is a confusing mixture of irrationality and hubris amongst the delegates. 

These colonial English words (in the case of Mbalula, non-words) have apparently changed meaning and have become sounds in which the listener applies whatever filter he has. 

Hence Steven, your confusion. You are trained in the meaning and use of words in the conventional sense. You need to radically transform your sadly colonial understanding of English. You need to start using longer words with slightly eccentric connotations. And preface everything with the new punctuation marks: the "radical" and the "transformation". Oh, and "economic" which is now just a sound, like "ahem" or "kof-cof".
