Nicholson inquiry into the financial affairs of CSA, instituted by sports minister Fikile Mbalula after almost two years of bitter wrangling over the bonuses form the IPL 2, which was played in South Africa due to security concerns around elections in India at that time. Retired judge Chris Nicholson's investigation into the state of South African cricket is  raising questions around several preconceived notions South Africans may have about the sport.

Zuma's speech on the occasion of the ANC's 100 year birthday bash

At the ANC's Centenary Celebration held in Bloemfontein,  hundreds of people pushed, shoved and shouted in a sweaty crush to get into the Free State Stadium before the ANC’s centenary rally officially got under way on Sunday– but by the time President Jacob Zuma ended his lengthy speech, the stands were practically deserted

Zapiro summarises Zuma's incredibly long and boring speech demonstrating that a picture is worth a 1000 words. He also compares  ANC's illustrious past with the political in-fighting and ulgliness of the present day.

 

What's made the ANC survive for a 100 years? - Jacob Zuma
Zuma's speech: 100 years and counting
Zuma at the ANC 100: It's my party, and I'll be dry if I want to
