With a front page story titled ‘Malema Targets Big Game In ANC’s Heartland,’ the widely respected publication is lending a whole boat load of legitimacy to Malema ahead of the 2014 General Elections.
While Mandela certainly deserves the amount of praise he has received in the past few days, there is also plenty of credit that is due to those people who were behind him all the time. People like Zelda La Grange.
We’ve found this one knocking around in the basement – it’s Madiba’s first-ever TV interview.

After his “blacks were not disenfranchised” statement on CNN last week, former president F.W. de Klerk has been taking a lot of flack. Not only did he get ripped a new one by cartoonist Zapiro in the Sunday Times yesterday, but Nehawu is now calling for him to be stripped of his Nobel Peace Prize.

After receiving advice that she should phone ahead to confirm that the resort wasn’t subject to the Group Areas Act of 1956, she was told by an official at the camp that the resort was for whites, only.
