Cool piece of subversive mischief about the proposed Media Appeals Tribunal. Why stop there?
Well I guess it isn't subversive mischief at all, because it's 100% right (in both senses - it's accurate and morally right). Which makes the whole business more depressing. In case you still care, the ANC seems to be committed to this one. All eyes on the September NGC then.

Do you really think it's a done deal? That shit is fucking scary.
no i think it's a lot of shouting ahead of the NGC to make editors think twice/print more cautiously, which in and of itself may not be a terrible thing. Even Business Day prints utter kak from time to time. However, Zuma said today that he thinks it's a good idea on the grounds that the media has taken the balance between the rights to privacy and expression too far towards the latter. Reporting on JZ's personal life has been extensive, so he probably has a personal stake in this too.
So we shall see.
