I also want to react strongly to this blatant abuse of power by the Grim Poisonous Ivyness Creep - power that needs to be forcibly removed from her grasp - IMO these incidents of abuse of power dictate that an amendment to The Constitution is essential - otherwise this will just keep on happening - as it has been for agesThe 18 have been reduced to 16 with the withdrawal of Worldspace SA, following instructions to Icasa by Minister of Communications Ivy Matsepe-Casaburri to allow Worldspace to continue broadcasting without a license.
