The Citizen gets a new face

• The Citizen: Join our journey into the future... Martin Williams, writing in The Citizen, says that while the newspaper has had a few redesigns over the years, what's been done now is more of a complete rethink rather than a simple redesign.

  Take a look and see what you think...

• Mail & Guardian: Icasa berated over high cellphone charges... It must be great to be in Parliament and say just about anything you like... Its labour and public enterprises select committee got a bit hot and bothered yesterday when it was briefed by the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (Icasa) on the high cost of broadband and cellphone calls.

  In between telling the body's hapless representatives that Icasa has been "failing to perform" and has allowed "mobile service companies to 'rip off' the poor", according to the Mail & Guardian report, one African National Congress MP, namely Livhuhani Mabija, suggested Icasa is suffering from a disease.

  I'm not sure whether its a case of Doctor Mabija, but in any event, Mail & Guardian reports her as saying: "According to my personal understanding, analysis, and diagnosis ... there is a very dangerous cancer ... that is eating Icasa."

  If she's correct, then it sounds like a bit of chemo and perhaps a surgical procedure or two might be called for to effect a cure.
