TMG Digital reports that, commenting on the local election results, former Cosatu general secretary Zwelinzima Vavi said that Jesus has returned and was "spotted" in Nelson Mandela Bay metro on Thursday night.  

As the ANC all but conceded defeat to the DA in the highly contested city, Vavi took to Twitter on Friday with a supposed photo of the Messiah.  He made it clear that he was no fan of the ruling party or its leader — his tweet referencing notorious claims made by President Jacob Zuma that the "ANC will rule until Jesus returns".  Lest it be suggested that he was gloating about the ANC’s poll losses‚ Vavi posted:  Deep down my heart I am hurting not celebrating!”
