Joburg election posters — the good, the bad and the embarrassing (opens the original)
Read excerpt
With so much of Johannesburg falling apart, it is astounding how few of the parties contesting for votes there focus on local issues in their election posters. The posters reveal how many of them cannot articulate a message that will resonate with voters in the major battleground of this election. It is obvious that political parties believe election posters are important for reaching voters. This is why they spend so much time and money on distributing them around the country.

Even once I have got going for the day, two cups of coffee safely in my tummy, a wet shower towel hung over its normal railing, I like my routine
Ferraris and friends in low places â why the taxi industry wins when the state weakens (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The testimony of Joe âFerrariâ Sibanyoni at the Madlanga Commission is a reminder of how powerful the taxi industry, and elements of it, have become in our society. One of the many important services the Madlanga Commission has performed for us is to reveal how central the taxi industry has become to our society. It is influencing the police, our politics and the very nature of the rule of law. Last week, Joe âFerrariâ Sibanyoni gave testimony at the commission in apparent response to wh
