While we support the publics' right to be informed, and the Weekend Post's right to name and shame, as one of the establishments, who to our horror made your publications top ten list of worst restaurant offenders, we strongly dispute the claims made against us and request the opportunity to set the record straight. Firstly, the reports from health officials in the Weekend Post's possession were in our case dated April 2012. We were then visited by health officials, who compiled a list of … [Read more...] about Phoenix Hotel Defends their Good Name

Dear Weekend Post – THIS is How you Comport Yourself on the Internet
A week or two ago I had a concern with the Weekend Post 'stealing' one of the images on MyPE and in a fit of pique posted this article: Weekend Post Taking MyPE for a Ride. Our esteemed weekly newspaper then offered me their standard fee for a contributor (at R150.00 I didn't deem it enough for me to retire on, I might add!), and then hinted broadly that I might consider removing the article. I may be a web site hooker but, sorry for you WP, R150.00 is a bit low for such an act of … [Read more...] about Dear Weekend Post – THIS is How you Comport Yourself on the Internet
Weekend Post Taking MyPE for a Ride
I used to wonder just how photographers could recognise their own images amongst the many millions that are published on the internet on a daily basis.

Disturbing to me is that large media houses have increasingly been using my images without even bothering to ask or accredit MyPE or myself as the originator. In the recent past The Daily Despatch and … [Read more...] about Weekend Post Taking MyPE for a Ride

The Fall and Fall of the Slumlord
www.MyPE.co.za: I was tempted to title this piece; "The Rise and Rise of the Slumlord" but that might have intimated that the reign of the Port Elizabeth Slumlords was over and that they have made their buildings rise out of neglect to their former glory! It is a sad fact that out various candidate and fully qualified slumlords are still flipping the bird to the citizens of Port Elizabeth and our so called organs of authority. God forbid that they are actually human organs as we would … [Read more...] about The Fall and Fall of the Slumlord
