DA wants PP to investigate that website
NEWSWATCH: According to Mail & Guardian, the Democratic Alliance has asked public protector Thuli Madonsela to probe alleged ethics violations by Free State Premier Ace Magashule, and the UK's Guardian reports on Facebook users who may be revealing a bit too much.

- Mail & Guardian: DA calls on Madonsela to probe Magashule over website... First it was reported that the Free State government's website had cost R140m. Then that was refuted, with R100m being lopped off the claimed cost. However, some website experts reckon even at R40m the cost was way above acceptable.
For example, Arthur Goldstuck provided a good insight on the real cost of SA's most expensive website.
It seems that the actual cost of the site could/would have been a miniscule fraction of what the Free State government is reported to have paid for it.
No wonder many people smell a rat.
- Guardian: Facebook users unwittingly revealing intimate secrets, study finds... We've heard it all before, but it seems some people just do not learn...Be very careful of what you post about yourself - or anyone else for that matter - on any social media, including Facebook... The message you write today could come back and bite you tomorrow.
