Spotting the cat in bandages and its paw in a sling...my initial (as I was driving by) thought was, it's a animal rescue ad! 20 Oct 2004

The Great South African series concept was inherently flawed at the outset. But the worst of it is the radio ad (which ran on Sat 16th after the series was cancelled in the media last week). 20 Oct 2004

Have you heard the radio ad for the apple flavoured Energade that proudly sponsors our SA team? What you put in is what you get out, or so it goes. Pity the Cricket team is doing so badly. 29 Sep 2004

Well done, Jessica Pitchford and the Special Assignment team, for sterling work in last night's exposé of corrupt cops in Johannesburg taking bribes from sex workers. 28 Sep 2004

Daily Sun makes no ethics sense
In this new culture of journalistic titillation {as perpetuated by the Daily Sun}, we teach our readers that trivia is significant, that the lurid and the loopy are more important than real news. 9 Sep 2004

Surely there are more creative ways to get your message across? 7 Sep 2004

I'm an avid viewer of the programme on SABC 1 and particular note that this current run has no major sponsor as opposed to the first run with Cell C? 6 Sep 2004
It's all in the cards
A promising conversation with another networker at a recent function resulted in the exchange of business cards. But after one glance at his card, the perfect picture came crashing down. 31 Aug 2004
