FAMOUS editor and journ prof Anton Harber shows he has a knack for satire in his latest blog entry at The Harbinger. Go check it out - it's funny stuff, especially if you've ever written anything speculative about the World Cup being taken away from South Africa and given to Australia...The Print Media Association - hosts of next month’s massive World Association of Newspaper and World Editors’

THE GOOD:Chippy Shaik is packing for Perth. Poor guy. Half of Europe is investigating dodgy aspects of our arms deal, which he helped negotiate, and it has emerged that his doctoral thesis was, shall we say, not all his own work. Now he feels so hard done by, that his contribution to the struggle is not being given the proper recognition, so he's abandoning ship, as it were. There are several

ONE of South Africa's most brilliant musicians and songwriters, my good friend Jim Neversink, fell victim to what can only have been a terrifying armed robbery at his place of work recently.Now, despite being a supremely talented individual, a fact that has been widely acknowledged by music critics, as well as by his contemporaries in local and international music, Jim is forced towork as a

PATTY de Lille is a shameless media slut. There's nothing she wouldn't say if she thought saying it would thrust her more forcefully into the public eye and garner her a few extra votes.Calling for the state regulation of blogs is probably not the most stupid thing she has ever said, but the speed with which she was backtracking yesterday, when she realised South African society was not queueing

AS SCHABIR Shaik prepared to make a last-ditch effort in the Constitutional Court to stay out of jail for good, rather than back to that cushy hospital where he has spent most of his 15-year sentence so far, prisons minister Ngconde Balfour said in parliament that he was "going back where he belongs" -- prison.Schabir ShaikI read this in an article in the M&G Online today and to begin with was
