15 Mar 2012 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments

14 Mar 2012 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment

Sadly, it might be a while before we get to watch any of Bear’s antics again. The Discovery Channel set him free for good yesterday by announcing their relationship is over.

In the very same interview on SABC last night (covered in the Morning Spice here), in which Julius Malema asked the ANC for forgiveness, he has also called for heavier regulation of our media.
