Dan’s PR disaster

By 6000 | 6000 | August 20, 2010

Tony Leon on Concubinegate

By 6000 | 6000 | May 22, 2009

Former DA leader Tony Leon spoke out today on the Concubinegate affair (that’s my name for it, anyway), in which current DA leader and Emperor of the Western Cape, Helen Zille had a pop at Jacob Zuma’s habits of sleeping around.
