Agang Gets Destroyed In Business Day Column
13 May 2014 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
No topic gets more heated than political affiliation particularly in our beloved SA when race colours everything. A little bashing of political parties is to be expected post-election but this is a total annihilation of any legitimacy for Agang SA.

13 Sep 2013 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s chief election rival has sparked a storm by flipping the bird on the cover of the weekly magazine supplement of the Sueddeutsche Zeitung daily newspaper’s Friday edition.
