Angela Quintal to become editor of The Witness

NEWSWATCH: Independent Newspapers has announced that The Mercury editor Angela Quintal is leaving to become editor of The Witness; Darren Scott and SuperSport are parting ways permanently, according to IOL; and the DA has said, after a report on graft, that the SABC is riddled with fraud and corruption from the top to the bottom - and it's going to destroy the organisation, writes Times Live.

IOL: Admired Mercury editor moving on... Good luck on the new appointment, @angelaquintal - and DO NOT mess with the crossword!
IOL: SuperSport, Darren Scott split... So the apology didn't work, then? Pity.
Times Live: Graft destroying the SABC: DA... Apparently a preliminary report has found evidence of naughties from top to bottom in our favour newsmaker (apart from Julius, that is) and as the DA says, reports of fraud and corruption in the SABC come as no surprise to anyone - unless you have been sleeping for the past few years.
