- City Press: It's Jomo vs Dina! According to the report, Pule was referring to the soccer legend when she declared war on what she reckons is a press campaign to discredit her.
One trusts she has proof that will stand up to scrutiny... If she is proved to be wrong in her accusation, she could find herself "courting disaster" and end up having to recompense Sono for accusing him of wrong-doing.
- BD Live: Pule may have reason to fear Zuma's next press conference... To take a line from Cool Hand Luke, "What we have here is a failure to communicate." Pule's reaction to what she views as the "smear campaign" against her may well have laid her open to strong action by Zuma, reckons Stephen Grootes.
- Mail & Guardian: ANC slates DA's secrecy Bill 'mischief'... Naughty DA, naughty! As expected, the ANC in Parliament has rejected calls by the Democratic Alliance to redo the parliamentary vote on the Protection of State Information Bill that passed last week, writes Nickolaus Bauer, who wrote...
"Democratic Alliance (DA) chief whip Watty Watson on Friday wrote to the speaker of the National Assembly - Max Sisulu - requesting the Bill be put to vote again after ANC chief whip Mathole Motshekga was wrongfully recorded as voting against the controversial piece of legislation."
The ANC claims that a technical glitch was responsible for Motshekga's "incorrect" vote.
So if that claim is valid, could it not be that other 'glitches" might be possible and some MPs who were recorded as voting "Yes", may actually have voted "No"?
After all, surely when such a contentious bill, well any bill or vote is concerned, given that the laws passed in Parliament impact on millions of us, the system has to be absolutely, without a doubt 100% reliable. And if one "glitch" is found, the whole system needs to be checked and verified, and the relevant votes be taken again?
Seems a bit obvious.
- IOL: Is porn any worse than other business? Houses built by dodgy contractors fall down, mines contaminate ground water, firms dump chemical and medical waste where children become exposed to it and die, defence lawyers defend to the hilt people they know are as guilty as hell... and people are up in arms because TopTV has won the right to broadcast porn?
Murray Williams looks at some of the above-mentioned examples and wonders whether TopTV's CEO Eddy Mbalo's "crime" is any worse than those committed by the people responsible for the examples above.
In passing, Williams says that when he asked Mbalo if he (Mbalo) would be watching his own porn channels, Murray reports Mbalo as replying "Absolutely. In fact, I would watch it with my wife," on which Murray comments "least he's honest".
Jawelnofine... Except that only a few days ago, Mbalo was quoted on Channel24 as follows:
Mbalo said, as a husband, "He did not watch porn."
"I'm not interested. I'm a married man and I don't watch porn."
So, which one is correct... Is Mbalo going to watch his station's porn - with his wife, of course, or not?
