BREAKING: South Africa Is Officially In "TurdEra"

Less than sixty minutes ago, Vice President https://app.warera.io/user/68e538c09c4aafa6f1a0bd5c acting in some capacity this Ministry is still attempting to verify — authorised a change to South Africa's official map colour.

The new colour is brown.

Not a rich, regal brown.
Not a deep, earthy, leather-bound-book brown.
Not even a respectable chocolate brown.

The national chat has, in the time it took the Ministry to draft this dispatch, descended into open revolt.

As a poet once said: call a rose by any other name, it still smells as sweet.

The same, the Ministry must regretfully report, applies to poop.

This dispatch has, in the past hour alone, received messages, sightings, and translations from across the world, each describing the new South African map colour in their own native language. We share them now, in the interest of multilingual transparency:

• 🇷🇴 Romania calls it: căcat.

• 🇵🇹 Portugal calls it: cocô.

• 🇰🇪 Kenya, in Swahili, calls it: kinyesi.

• 🇮🇹 Italy calls it: cacca.

• 🇫🇷 France calls it: caca.

• 🇿🇦 And here at home, the Republic itself calls it: kak.

We note, with some discomfort, that the consensus is suspiciously unanimous.

No response has yet been received.
The Vice President is, the Ministry understands, currently "away from the office."

We are not surprised.
