The point of publishing all these rather boring photographs?

jackjack12 Jan 10, 2025, 07:52 AM

Don't see DM giving the other parties the same coverage yearly, this is not even a milestone event.

Mike Pragmatist Jan 10, 2025, 06:46 PM

ANC media partner?

virginia crawford Jan 11, 2025, 05:04 AM

Agree. Not that I want to see the snaps of other's parties either.

Mike Pragmatist Jan 11, 2025, 09:53 AM

Is this is favouritism/support? Other parties do not get this kind of coverage. (or is the ANC paying anything for being their Media Partner, or simply promising to?) They have a prior record of not paying and of not keeping promises.
