EDITOR’S NOTE

WATCH your language and hold your tongue and you’ll save yourself a lot of trouble. But people like Vicki Momberg, who lost her appeal this week and now has to do some prison time, don’t listen to such words of wisdom.

Momberg’s case set a precedent and hopefully taught her a lesson, but we are bound to learn something new this week. Two high-profile black businessmen have taken each other to court over the k-word (see page 6).

What does a rookie reporter do (or even a seasoned one) when tasked with finding out everything about an alleged serial rock thrower with no “fixed address”? Roving Reporters’ Bukeka Silekwa opens up her notebook for us (page

9). And there’s a shocking revelation involving tow truckers.

Going through university can be difficult, but that is an understatement when considering what others go through – and still succeed. UKZN researcher Lukhona Mnguni describes the university’s transformation that manifests in events like the graduation season of this week (page 11).

The author of Africa Is Open for Business,

Victor Kgomoeswana, asks questions about President Cyril Ramaphosa’s UK visit and the R850-million deal promising a “wealth of opportunities” (page 16).

Our editorial comment on the investment issue is also on this page. South Africa is in good hands and back on the right track.

On our Big Issue page (17), Sandile Ngidi decries Julius Malema’s dangerous “cheap politicking” during Winnie Madikizelamandela’s funeral.

Makhosini Nkosi argues that Afriforum has inadvertently given the firebrand EFF leader wings for the coming elections by putting pressure on the NPA to prosecute him for fraud and corruption.

It’s easy to dismiss Afriforum, but what about Thuli Madonsela’s report on the On-point tender scandal? She was often on point on these matters.
