themba_s16 What edwinntshidi did was to fully confirm what SAEditorsForum had been denying all along. Many many journalists have been batting for political parties contrary to that self serving statement of being objective and balanced. Editors should do more to restore their objectivity

Some are also in the thuma mina whatsapp group.I have no respect for such journalists

I have been very fruitful ever since I have been investing with shantelll_142 .I contacted Mrs shantelll_142 after series of testimonies i saw online, i took courage and started investing with her . I have made my third withdrawal which are ten times the initial investment.
