Weekend 101: McKenzie and Malema in the ring

24 Apr 2014

Gayton McKenzie gets candid about Julius Malema, Jacob Zuma blames everyone else for Marikana, and Limpopo’s textbook woes continue.

PW Botha wagged his finger and banned us in 1988 but we stood firm. We built a reputation for fearless journalism, then, and now. Through these last 35 years, the Mail & Guardian has always been on the right side of history.

These days, we are on the trail of the merry band of corporates and politicians robbing South Africa of its own potential.
