@BMW_SA
has closed their Joburg City branch. They told their staff on Friday, and all operations from today are cancelled. The "severance package" offered is one month's pay for February, and they have to be at work the whole month. Absenteeism is deductible from the package.

So many people call Johnny Clegg nonracial. But to me, listening to and reading his quotes, he was obviously clear that he was white in black spaces, working with black people. He resisted racism; but never imagined race didn't exist. And that's really something to me.
"I didn't question why there is a fence. I found my way over the fence."

Newsrooms are hiring newbies because companies refuse to pay decent wages. People with institutional knowledge and experience are just not paid when they freelance (if you haven't seen what happened to Niren, I suggest you do).

This absolutely appalling behaviour. And you can't call a month's notice (which isn't even a month because the 2nd of Feb is not the beginning of the month) a severance package. The staff have to go to work every day for the next month and do nothing.

this is horrible.

This makes me so angry. Now we're all bad journalists because of one person being unable to conduct an interview. Where's the protest?
#VodacomPayMakate
This isn’t how to conduct an interview!
Firstly she jumps into the IP being that of MTN.
When the difference on the IP is explained she says ‘let’s not be technical’
Then barely grants the guest an opportunity to speak’

I have to say to elder journalists, the newsroom isn't what you remember it to be. And it changed in a very short space of time. I've been in newsrooms during this transition and it is terrifying. We have a broken media with no one to speak for us. We are on our own.

Reporters in their early 20s are sent out to the scene of one of the biggest tragedies we've ever had in this city. They don't have anyone to ask for help. Their editors are too busy to focus on them properly because they are writing, subbing and getting quotes. It's so hard.

Now the five reporters in a newsroom with no more than four years of experience to cover national stories must know what to do? And then when there are experienced journalists who do it, they are told to be quiet? You guys really can't see how this model is broken?

We used to have internship programmes with its own editor. That editor would focus on their development for a year. Now? LOL while we are running the newsroom we are also training the young ones. Big ups to them because they really try. I have had amazing young people.

The amount of work it takes an editor to train someone with little to no experience is massive (and thankless). Newsrooms are scrambling to be able to do everything they can but they aren't resourced and have no support. Editors are on their own and aren't listened to.

This is abhorrent. We need to hear exactly what he said. It is unacceptable that a media practitioner is asked to apologise for calling for balanced and factual reporting. There is proof that some big, international media made allegations without evidence.

Can you imagine running from home via the ocean where death is almost certain and then being forced to live on it, without the security of the ground? How terrifying must it be to float forever? How is such inhumanity going unchecked? I cannot understand.

I love Saturday mornings. I make them gentle.
I saunter to the balcony. I make some coffee. Have a cigarette. Hit a J. Some tea.
I go for a walk. I have music and it's early, so I'm alone on the street. I come back and I absorb the crispness on the balcony.
It's perfect. 🌻

Me at the shop yesterday. 3 bags of chips (family size), pack of 9 cocktail pies, a strip of chocolate raisins (because i couldn't find Whispers), a strip of lollipops, juice. I don't even drink juice usually. There's one packet of chips left.
I ALWAYS know when the moon is in Taurus because I want snacks and carbs and sweets. Every single time.
