The Zuma show? What show?

• IOL: e.tv denies Nkandla TV show... According to the IOL report, an article in Lifestyle Tabloid claiming that e.tv would be broadcasting a reality show on the housewives of Nkandla has been strongly refuted by the channel.

  IOL quotes e.tv's group communications general manager Matlapulana Ragoasha as saying: "The article published by Lifestyle Tabloid today (Wednesday, 27 November) claiming that e.tv plans to broadcast a reality show entitled Zuma's Housewives is malicious, false and mischievous."

  Generally reality shows leave me agog with indifference, but there are viewers out there who are prone to being fascinated by the "arguments" and the "strife" staged by this "celebrity" or others as you watch them making coffee, trimming their toesnails, or whatever else they do - but if you want to see how Zuma's wives get along in the house we built, you are going to be disappointed.

  So sad.
