Things are still cloudy for Hlaudi, but sunny in cinemasInstead of merely reporting on the news, publishers are reporting about the SABC's inner workings - again. This time, it's alleged by the Sunday Times that the SABC boss hid a R500m loss from parliament.

We round it off by tapping into [Loeries 2015] Agency expectations with... GRID, as agency partner Adam Byars tells us 'Durban has its own style of creativity' to look forward to this August.
