    Hot 91.9 FM fires DJ Sasha Martinengo for calling Malema a monkey

    The Constitutional Court has actually ruled that the statement "will the black man please move his car" is racist. This was after a white employee had been fired for making the comment after one of his black colleagues had parked in his allocated parking space.

    They appear to want details on Sasha Martinego, I would guess his home address or something.

    Hot 91.9 FM fires DJ Sasha Martinengo for calling Malema a monkey

    I've often heard of "urgent temporary interdicts" being issued in the middle of the night, to be made "permanent" at a later stage. The organisation would then place a notice of the interdict at their entrance in order to prevent protesters from gathering on their premises.

    Hot 91.9 FM fires DJ Sasha Martinengo for calling Malema a monkey

    On a related note, the following anecdote amuses me. I know of an incident where a white Afrikaans manager discussed a cheeky black employee with one of his colleagues. He commented, in Afrikaans, "besef sy ek's haar baas" (does she realise I'm her boss). When the employee heard this, she was...

    SA’s advertising authority files for liquidation – and promises an immediate replacement

    I seem to recall that a judge ruled that the ASA had no jurisdiction to do what they did. No act in law gave them authority to regulate the industry.

    Hot 91.9 FM fires DJ Sasha Martinengo for calling Malema a monkey

    Good point - he wasn't being called a monkey because he's black, but because of his behaviour, whilst when a white person is called a land thief, it's entirely because of their race.

    Hot 91.9 FM fires DJ Sasha Martinengo for calling Malema a monkey

    At first, I didn't think that the comment was racist, because it was directed at an individual (Julius Malema) and not at a racial group (he didn't say that "blacks are monkeys"). But then, I imagined the tables being turned and a black person calling a prominent white politician (say Helen...

    Loose tyre flies across Joburg's N1 and kills man

    The lack of basic human compassion at the death of this man shown by some posters on this forum is disgusting.

    ConCourt to decide whether Bathabile Dlamini must personally pay costs in Sassa debacle

    It is my understanding that such cost rulings are meant to act as deterrent against government officials wasting government funds by engaging in frivolous lawsuits. Perhaps they should start doing the same with Panyaza Lesufi.

    ConCourt to decide whether Bathabile Dlamini must personally pay costs in Sassa debacle

    I bet that her response is going to involve something about the constitutional court being agents of the opposition, or of white racists, or anti-transformation agents, or something.

    EFF calls on Die Stem removed from the national anthem

    I think that the entire anthem is beautiful and that the EFF should find something useful and sensible to do instead of politicking around silly issues.

    Businesswoman Wendy Luhabe faces backlash over apartheid tweet

    I am relatively young and I must admit that my work ethic isn't that good. I've been trying to improve but it's not that easy. Those of you who are judging us should please understand that it's difficult to change one's behaviour if this behaviour is deeply ingrained. I think that the problem...
