News Time: Jimmy Manyi To Replace Maseko As Government Spokesman... Apparently Collins Chabane, Minister in the Presidency, says Themba Maseko asked to be moved from his position as government spokesman. Jimmy Manyi, he with the somewhat colourful past, is the new spokesman.
Business Day: DA criticises new Manyi appointment... The official opposition is a bit miffed that a Manyi with a past involving a suspension, charges of misconduct, insubordination and allegations of trying to solicit business from our Nordic friends is not a good choice. Naturally, the government will give the DA views all due consideration... or not.
Eyewitness News: BMF backs Jimmy Manyi... He's our main Manyi and we support him, says the Black Management Forum - which Manyi heads. So no surprise there.
