Mail & Guardian: Gosa resigns from SABC board, again... It was only a matter of time, wasn't it... before our sunshine news broadcaster was back in the news. This time it's because Noluthando Gosa has resigned from the board.
SABC... back in the news.
On this occasion she lasted a whole two months as a member of the board of the South African Broadcasting Corporation.
Well, it's not as if her quitting might have been unexpected.
After all, her third stint on the board came about despite the fact that opposition parties had objected to her appointment in the first place, citing her previous resignations from the board.
EWN: ANC takes 'City Press' to ombudsman... So it seems the ANC is in a bit of a Haff...ajee over a City Press report in which it was claimed that the residents of Seshego in Limpopo were less than ecstatic when ANC Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa paid them a visit.
City Press said in an article on Sunday that Ramaphosa was jeered by residents and... shock and horror... it is claimed one local even refused to shake Ramaphosa's hand.
The ANC reckons City Press is biased against the party, and claims the newspaper's report on Ramaphosa's visit to Seshego was "concocted and sensationalised".
