It was only a matter of time before the SABC was back in the news instead of reporting it... which more than one commentator reckons they do badly. This time it's the broadcaster's COO Hlaudi Motsoeneng, who has been slammed by Public Protector Thuli Madonsela for how he has performed at the SABC. But he's by no means alone... it seems the SABC is rife with managers and executives who do a great deal less than professional or honest job. On a much happier note, if you get my point, we have the Assegai Awards 2013 winners for you. Next on the menu, Lee Wanless asks if anyone will give a damn? And then answers her own question: she clearly does, because she has five foolproof engagement techniques for you - and she reckons they work every time. The festive season is almost here, so Ferdie Bester reckons that if you haven't done so already, it's time to get your mobile ad campaigns ready for December. Finally, Sid Peimer reckons there's a problem, but he's not going to pontificate upon the merits of creative awards, nor the fact that a large amount of winning entries are not necessarily in the interests of paying clients.
