You hypocrite, first take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye." So, at the risk of being accused of not taking the forest out of my own eye allow me to point out to the Chippa United Fan Club Twitter Account administrator that slagging off clothing brands and the …

SAPS spends almost R1bn per year on salaries for senior management

Dear MyPE The Democratic Alliance (DA) can reveal that the South African Police Services (SAPS) spends around R977 899 971 per year on salaries for major generals and brigadiers.

Dear MyPE We are drivers and owners of vehicles operating on the eHailing Apps. That is Ubër, Bolt and inDrive. We feel we can no longer keep quiet while we perish.

One death is one too many and one hijack is one too many. Last week alone we had 14 reported hijackings of eHailers. Just two weeks ago we buried a father of three, killed whilst dropping off a rider. These are verifiable figures from …
