Posted by Cheryl Elliot on 04/01/2014 The first time Sagwati Baloyi touched a computer was when he took an entry exam for university.

I know these have been running for some time, but every time I see one I still feel annoyed. Does anyone else watch those Miracle Whip ads and think: “who associates their identity with a type of sandwich spread?” I mean honestly, who wants to self proclaim themselves as a fatty white substance? Of all the consumer packaged […]
