DoC vs Sunday Times: the battle continues

The battle between the Sunday Times and the Department of Communications continues, with both sides providing new feedback about the issue

 

[Sodan]

For our democracy to work, the South African media must open itself to scrutiny and challenge.

The irony is strong in this one.

 

[ToxicBunny]

So far all I'm seeing is the Sunday Times providing evidence and such, and the DoC just throwing around accusations.

How dare you attack the upstanding DOC???

Interesting:

The Public Editor of the Times Media must look into Oppelt’s unprecedented unethical conduct including personal attacks on Pule, Ngobeni, Haffajee, and Basson. The Press Council must also show it has the capacity to intervene to stop the slide towards rogue journalism.

I also read the full opinion piece in today's Sunday Times and Wisani Ngobeni is being very economical with the truth...

It's also convenient that he has (very) recently been loaned to the DoC by the FS Premier, Oupa Magashule to try and spin Pule out of her web of deceit.

 

[S1ght]

The Sunday Times appears hell-bent to manipulate information to serve the narrow interests of the DA

The first thought that comes to mind is The New Age and the ANC...

 

[siraman]

This is not going to end well....for Dina Pule.

Too much politics in news

Can't we all just try to get along in this country? I'm tired of looking forward to reading something positive in the news section only to find the news to be full of the same old ****! Politics should not be such a big part of an everyday South African's life, yet there is just no escaping it these days.

Are they upstanding enough to now fall on their swords?

 

[House]

....... welcome to SA!

Oh Wisani!

You have an empty saucer on the table - well within your reach.
Yet you insist on putting the mug directly on the table!

F^%$ that bothers me!

Why is that an issue? If the table gets ruined another will just magically appear!
