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.
