NEW! BBC is hiring! They are looking for... 👉 Journalist, Focus on Africa: twp.ai/9PURsV 📅 Deadline: August 20. 👉 Senior Digital Producer: twp.ai/4ipCgR 📅 Deadline: August 25. Location: Nigeria

There will be a protest in Cape Town tomorrow starting at the Mouille Point Light House 15H00 and ending at the Pavilion/Sea Point Swimming Pool, to protest the Israeli genocide in Gaza and the murder of Palestinian journalists. If you are in Cape Town, I hope to see you there.

I hate this media tour we’re being subjected to. The journos and producers should’ve told the PR consultant that this is lame, and not participate in this reputation-laundering scheme.

Cape Town journalists and supporters, we need you. If you're going to the Sea Point Palestine march today at 15:00, please consider walking with journalists. We could also do with volunteers (if you can). Please RSVP on this form so we know to expect you. forms.gle/kQ1RTqeknBk6Qk…

Oh no, dear Tshidi 💔 from our UJfm days it was clear you were destined to be a star. Your love for people and everyone's stories shone. What a terrible loss for the journalism world and for everyone who loved you. Rest softly 💐

Our goal is simple but carries impact: To ensure that our GoB kids are fed on a more regular basis, and step into term 4 without the extra burden of food insecurity. Many of them struggle in class because they're malnourished. Please help us feed their tummies ♥️
