Judge rules in favour of Noseweek

NEWSWATCH: Cape High Court Deputy Judge President Jeanette Traverso, yesterday, Thursday, 20 September 2007, ruled in favour of Noseweek, dismissing with costs FirstRand Bank's application to prevent the title from publishing a list of clients "involved in allegedly shady offshore tax dodging schemes", reports the Mail & Guardian Online. Meanwhile, the Department of Health has taken out an advertisement defending Health Minister Manto Tshabalala-Msimang in Business Day today, Friday 21 September, which “launches a scathing attack on the judiciary and on the Sunday Times”, reports the business newspaper.

Noseweek editor Martin Weltz will not be publishing details in the October 2007 issue but in later editions, to allow time for more investigation.

The three-quarter page advert in Business Day consists of two side-by-side letters by head of legal services Sello Ramasala and health department director-general Thami Mseleku.

Meanwhile, the caricaturing of Manto continues, with a cloned profile on Facebook, which includes personal interests such as garlic, lemon and beetroot, and the ability to give her a beetroot and buy her drinks...

The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) of South Africa rulings this week included ruling against Telkom's "Do Broadband" television and Internet-based advertising campaign (M&G Online; in favour of the controversial NetFlorist's spitting secretary ad for Secretarty's Day; and against a Kulula.com email ad which left out airport charges.
