Lesufism (noun) When a politician or public figure makes sure they’re seen doing something — usually with cameras rolling — even if nothing changes afterwards. Example: > “The minister came, took photos, and left before anything was fixed. Classic Lesufism.” Origin: From Panyaza Lesufi, a South African politician known for being visibly present at every event. Used humorously to describe performative leadership — doing things for show, not results. See also: Showboating, PR stunts, Mbalula moments, Bheki Cele vibes.
