Posted on 17. Aug, 2010 by azadessa in Uncategorized
Competitions suck, mostly because everyone can’t win. We created the Zuma’s Bastard cover competition to give readers an opportunity to play a part in creating the cover. We received around 25 covers – some itsy bitsy pieces put together for the heck of it, others a little more professional and some incredibly brilliant. We appreciated [...]

Sam Wilson tweeted a Harvard Business article yesterday that explained the lack of female leaders in business. Factors that include that women are uncomfortable with the idea of power and prefer to be liked, play a role. I couldn’t agree more: who am I to be telling people what to do? This caught my eye [...]
Wa Africa Arrest: Police Bully – 1, Media Bully 0
Posted on 04. Aug, 2010 by Talita in Current Affairs, Moral Fibre, featured, opinion, talita myburgh
Wa Africa’s arrest today has shocked many and justifiably so: where do the police get off arresting him at a conference for journalists where journalistic freedom was the topic of concern and making a show of arresting him?

Posted on 13. Jul, 2010 by Talita in featured
It became clear recently that some people I spoke to think that Glenn Agliotti took the State’s indemnity deal, professed to turn coat but really did not hold his side of the bargain and will now be walking. Apparently he is now indemnified and can no longer be charged. He wishes! Section 204 of the [...]

Posted on 10. Jul, 2010 by Talita in featured, opinion
The UK Telegraph reported that certain retailers in Britain might run into trouble for using the trademarked name ‘vuvuzela‘.

If you’ve watched SA’s Biggest Looser, you’ll undoubtedly remember the cute blond trainer, Lisa Raleigh, cheering contestants on with every fibre in her tiny little body. Well she wasn’t faking. On Monday I attended a health workshop with her and by the end of it, every woman in the Vitamin Water house agreed: those few [...]

The youth of South Africa are a brave bunch. Whether they are naturally balsey or accidental heroes is irrelevant because growing up is always hard but growing up in an essentially cultureless environment is that much harder. Still you either get on with it or you will be left behind…and many get left behind. Cultureless? [...]
