Dear Steven, I read your racist rant with some pity. I think you have lost it spectacularly – your cover up I mean. Let me right away recommend some bed time reading to deal with your blatant prejudice. I recommend a book by one of your own volk – Sampie Terreblanche: The history of inequality…
When it comes to End of year Score Card Government must engage the Media and not shun them…..The refusal by government communications to subject themselves to an external evaluation by a media organization must be one of the most bizarre interventions to be made in recent times from a Public Relations perspective. Bizarre as this…

Menzi Simelane – against the political grainBy Onkgopotse JJ Tabane The prosecution of John Block in the Northern Cape has revealed that indeed there is some hope left in our judicial system. I am the last person to praise Menzi Simelane. I think the fellow tainted himself by being too bravado about being a card…
One of the most difficult things to do in the public service is to fire non-performers. In fact it seems to me the law, the Labour Relations Act and related legislation are designed to make it near impossible to fire people who do not perform. It was therefore truly heartening to see President Jacob Zuma…
So, nationalisation will be debated — big deal. When Mandela was released from jail 20 years ago, one of the first PR gaffes to be associated immediately with his name was the claim that the ANC was going to nationalise anything that moves.

Malema NOT on Zuma Many people are so under the spell of Julius Malema that they have not realised several statement that he has made in reference to no one else but Jacob Zuma. A less generous explanation is that they have chosen to ignore this obvious third fingering of the President by the youngster….
Lough out loud on Saturday SABC circus back in town again. I preferred the board led by Khanyi Mkhonza and Christine Qunta. At least they were able to tell the government where to get off and knew when to acknowledge that “they sucked”. I preferred Dali Mpofu — at least he was not found to…
