It is one of the most famous gotcha questions in politics, and this week EFF leader Julius Malema failed it.
When Lester Kiewit asked him the price of a loaf of bread at the end of a Cape Talk interview (at 30:55 in the video below), Malema answered: "I, well, I wouldn't know how much is the price of a loaf of bread because, ehm, I'm in a position where I don't have to go and buy a loaf of bread, but you know bread and all of the staple food, VAT must be removed from that, and the government must ensure that those staple food are accessible to our people."
