- Times Live: Cape Town Press Club not neutral ground: ANC... According to ANC spokesman Jackson Mthembu, the "partisan attitude" demonstrated by chairperson of the National Press Club Yusuf Abramjee and Donwald Pressley, the chairman of the Cape Town Press Club towards Minister Tina Joemat-Pieterson proves the point.
Does it?
- Times Live: Minister defends press club conduct... Well, she would, wouldn't she, though how the presence of one politician in an audience somehow turns the entire event into a political gathering is a bit hard to understand? Would that then mean that having a member of the Bok squad in the audience would turn it into a sporting event?
- Mail & Guardian: Another model left shamefaced over racist tweet... Jessica Leandra dos Santos got the ball rolling with a racist tweet and then Tshidi Thamana picked up the same ball and ran with it.
She should have just dropped it!
A word to the newly wise: Thinking of posting a dodgy tweet? Don't be a twit!
