Taylor Swift is not easily discouraged. After a string of bad movies, beginning with an insignificant role in Valentine’s Day, a shallow romcom, to The Giver, which flopped at the box office, and the disaster of Cats (the worst thing to happen to cats since dogs, according to Ricky Gervais), most performers might have given up. Not Swift. Her latest movie, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, has raked in millions in advance bookings. And she’s done much of it herself, using her own production company and arranging special distribution deals.

A bad week for Busisiwe Mkhwebane
Busisiwe Mkhwebane, recently sacked as public protector, made an announcement on Monday that surprised few: moving from the Gupta kitchen to the EFF lounge. While she was struggling to make sense of a difficult job, and before she was found to be incapable of doing so, EFF leader Julius Malema mocked her as the Gupta kitchen help. This week she was welcomed “home” by the EFF when she revealed her true colours: a red beret that briefly resisted her bouffant hairdo. Whatever value she might bring, it won’t be to “protect the poor and marginalised” in a party where the elite has been suspiciously enriched.
