[Issa Sikiti da Silva] Despite the representation of children in South African print media slightly improving in 2009 (8.4% down from 6% in 2003), a report published recently by Media Monitoring Africa (MMA) shows that generally children continue to be snubbed and sidelined by the country's major newspapers, prompting critics to question the media's commitment in promoting nation-building. |

[Issa Sikiti da Silva] The issue of newly appointed SABC CEO Solly Mokoetle reporting directly to Minister of Communications Siphiwe Nyanda, and not to the board, is fuelling debate like never before and has raised questions whether the ‘weak' and government-controlled public broadcaster will ever find inner peace and stability. |

[Ruth Cooper] Having a seriously blond moment, I blame it on the 'brain turning to mush in the holidays syndrome' rather than some new highlights, I misplaced my and friends tickets to see The Pretty Blue Guns and Ashtray Electric playing at Kirstenbosch in the Kirstenbosch girls toilets. Where the tickets disappeared to is a true mystery. Perhaps I flushed them down the loo, or more likely I think it was the-far-too-young-and-innocent looking five-year-old girl who arrived in the toilet just after us. |

[Sindy Peters] South Africa is teeming with talent in the entertainment industry. When they're good they're good and when they're bad, they're boring. FreshlyGround are anything but boring. They're a special band that stands out from the deluge of bands gigging every other night in the Mother City. |

[Sindy Peters] You won't catch ‘em applying guy-liner, man-scara or wearing skinny jeans, but they sure are one of South Africa's tightest acts in the rock field. Prime Circle was let loose in Wynberg, Cape Town for the second instalment of the Sunshine Saturday's Concert Series last weekend, 19 December 2009. Again, crowd attendance wasn't exceptional, but they were definitely a lively bunch. |
