Was he talking to the guys doing the upgrades at Nkandla? Was he having a word with Putin about how that frosty handshake felt in person? Was he talking to Fikile about how the Boks will handle life without Jean de Villiers?
We may never know, but we know it must have been important enough to blow off ‘ol POTUS. Barack wasn’t taking it lying down either, joking with Jacob at the 70th session of the UN General Assembly in New York about how he couldn’t get JZ to drop the call.
Whatever the reasoning let’s hope he made his way over later and ended things on a good note, Barack will still be in office until early 2017 so let’s not blow that one just yet.
