Social media -> The court has granted Romeo and Basetsana Kumalo a protection order stating that novelist Jackie Phamotse must remove her tweets and not talk publicly about the couple. The court said her social media followers were harassing the couple and she is liable for that.

4. The Minister is also using the wrong version of the Legal Practitioners Act. That’s why he refers to “subparagraph (iii) of paragraph (a) of subsection (1) of section five” which was removed in 2004 by the Law Reviser because it was an error. The Justice Minister didn’t know!

The morning hours are the most productive hours. Because in the morning, you are free. Hemingway would talk about how he’d get up early because early, there was, “no one to disturb you and it is cool or cold and you come to your work and warm as you write."
