Meanwhile, the future of the committee tasked with handling the detested (by the media and informed members of the public, anyway) Protection of Information Bill, will probably be decided tomorrow, Wednesday, 9 March 2011, reports Times Live.

Eyewitness News: ETV distances itself from a bogus investigative reporter... If the report is accurate, here's a new twist in collecting debts... Turn up at some poor alleged debtor's door armed with a video camera and, presumably, threaten them with exposure on TV and the danger of being grilled by Debora Patta. Well, that should be enough to have you reach for your wallet - or open a case with the police - which is apparently what the alleged victim has done in this case.
Times Live: Parliament to rule on info bill committee... Deputy speaker Nomaindia Mfeketo granted an extension to the life of the parliamentary committee handling the contentious Protection of Information Bill - and the opposition cried foul. The committee ground to halt, but now it looks like the issue could be settled tomorrow. Any bets on which way the vote will go?
