Oh what a great day for headlines. No one appears able to agree on what's killer news from the weekend. Even the local rag the Mercury runs through three roadside posters and then has a picture of a real babe on the cover and the comment that Sharapova's gonna dazzle her opponents.
F1 farce - US Grand Prix
Enough said about this, I'm sure. Guess what guys? The yanks love Nascar and will now just snub the F1 races. Who needs a bunch of wallies who make rules which do nothing to enhance the sport and spectator involvement... Nuff said!
Zuma to be peacemaker
The headline reads that Zuma may be called as a peacemaker to try and stem the tide of raucous protest over his axing as deputy president! Hmmm... I wonder who has the most to gain through this discord?
The country rotting from the inside
Now that was the leader.
The paper's article heads up as "Fears over new SA nationalism" and goes on to quote Loren Landau on a hatred of immigrants rotting SA from within, undermining its hard earned democracy. The article is particularly aimed at the poorer immigrants and reveals that corrupt officialdom and criminals too are using these asylum seekers as "mobile ATM's" to line their own coffers.
A better headline would have been 'New SA withdrawal syndrome - Mobile ATM's'.

Zuma sacked! So what, the sards are running...
The Mercury says Zuma has been sacked. Strange that the president has called an extraordinary parliamentry sitting for today to make an announcement.
Who really cares anyway?
There's something more important afoot - the sards are running.
For the uneducated, the "Sards running" refers to the greatest shoal on earth.
The annual sardine run along the South African coast is now heading up to good 'ole Durban.
Yippie - what a good week this will be. Comrades marathon, Rugby, Sardines, sun, surf....

Strange how the judgement at the courtcase is not mentioned - just the media and the opposition.
