Inside the WTF Imbizo: the ‘other’ summit happening during Davos
While global leaders gather in the snow-covered sophistication of Davos for the World Economic Forum, HOT 102.7FM Breakfast has uncovered a very different kind of summit happening much closer to home — and it’s nothing like the Swiss Alps.
In a hilarious live cross this morning, the team introduced listeners to HOT 1027 Breakfast’s “exclusive reporter,” Dumi Ndlumi, reporting from what he describes as the start of the “WTF Imbizo” in Butterworth, Eastern Cape — where, according to him, “the local time is 1986.”
Listen to the call below:
Dumi paints a picture of an event that runs “parallel” to Davos… at least in theory. Instead of global presidents and CEOs, the WTF Imbizo features a delightfully random “delegation” — including Angie Motshekga, Benni McCarthy, and Quinton de Kock — all supposedly gathering under this year’s ambitious theme: “How to run a country when you have no idea what you are doing.”
From here, the story only gets more absurd. Dumi recounts an opening ceremony starring “Rel” performing an interpretive belly dance to Pink Floyd’s “We Don’t Need No Education,” an accidental crime-scene-turned-21-gun-salute, and a crowd so small he can count them without losing breath.
And then come the “big issues”:
The future of AI — or as he puts it, the local solution when “there’s no service delivery and we all go ‘AI!’”
The next space race — not beyond Earth, but beyond the toll roads.
And a deep dive into “quantum reality” — featuring not scientists, but actual Quantums, panel beaters, and “quantum mechanics.”
It’s pure comedic chaos, delivered with deadpan brilliance.
