Here they are - SA radio’s ‘Oscar’ winners - 14 Apr 2014By Rod BakerThe MTN Radio Awards have come and gone; Luise Allemann reports on the awards' winners. Communications Minister Yunus Carrim says radio is so vital in SA as it gives a voice to the voiceless. One way to make people want to see what something is all about, is to ban it. And that is exactly what has happened here... the SABC banned a DA advert and now that same ad has gone viral and is probably reaching a far wider audience than it would have had the national broadcaster simply ignored whatever "issues" it has with the material. Result: the ad ban has backfired. So you're a medium-term tweep, huh? You don't need another of those silly etiquette lessons? Tough... Tiffany Markman has ten Twitter tips for you. | Rod Baker
