Thread: 1. South African media has not only failed the vulnerable. Its reporting has helped make them targets. I ask the questions the newsrooms leave unasked.

Be careful with the information you share with @rainSouthAfrica as they maintain your banking details on their backend systems illegally and unlawfully and use it to make predatory deductions from third party accounts that are not linked to their client profiles and with whom they have no debit order mandates. More rigorous regulatory interventions should be applied by by financial institutions like @CapitecBankSA to ensure that their clients do no fall victim to this kind of corporate exploitation by companies like Rain.

There's always a story behind the story companies tell.

The screenshots below of @peremore_v's Facebook account, refer to a range of online attacks that has become a frequent and persistent occurrence. There is now a clear pattern. @rainSouthAfrica and @CapitecBankSA, please note that this unauthorised deduction from Veronic Peremore's bank account is part of a series of attacks over several years by Jonathan Oliver and Arena Holdings @Dispatch_DD which has become increasingly aggressive, and I am sure that you do not want to be part of this. So please restore the money to Veronic Peremore's bank account. You have fraudulently taken the money that belongs to a three year old toddler for his basic needs. I trust that this matter will be resolved immediately.

Pushing boundaries, society's boundaries, in marketing and PR has become the norm but often at the expense of creativity. Aiming for the shock factor has become the go-to because it is obvious and easy, but it may not be creative. One example of this are events like Old Mutual's Dare Devil Run where men run in nothing but their speedos to create awareneas about prostate cancer. And I see this element has been added to the marketing strategy for the local Algoa FM Big Walk for Cancer with almost daily posts of their male presenters and staff running half naked. The goal apparently is for men to take the bold move of exposing themselves and reminding them of the importance of checkups which men tend to avoid. So men are exposing themselves as a sacrifice but who are they exposing themselves to? The people on the receiving end did not agree to being exposed to this and what is their say in it? Do they have a say? These people include children who pass runners on the road or see photos on the front pages of newspapers or the social media platforms of so-called family-friendly media brands. Did the parents of these children agree to have their children watching nearly naked men broadly visible on media platforms that is supposed to be safe. No. No one agreed to being exposed to this. But there are some who merely go along with whatever is shoved in their faces and in their family's faces. No one wants to be that guy who places a damper on a campaign that is meant for charity, because it's charity afterall, and according to marketers, media and advertisers, if it's in the name of charity the public must simply bite their tongues. The problem is that we cannot do that, because what we accept now will become normalized. It will become the future normal our children will live in and the question we must ask is what other boundaries will be pushed and how far. And when we finally speak up one day, when we've collectively decided that they've gone too far they will likely tell us "but you acccepted near naked men running through your streets and in the general media, sit down, and keep quiet Karen." It might be too late then. Marketers can do better, public relations professionals can do better, and the media and advertisers have a responsibility to do better. And you, as the consumer, can do a whole lot against what is shoved in your face. You should expect better, and you deserve better. The media may be powerful, but public opinion and consent is all-powerful.

It would be great if all the Algoa FM managers participated in their pink speedos on Saturday, 31 October 20266 at the Algoa FM Big Walk for Cancer, including Alfie Jay. That would certainly send a powerful message about leading from the frontline. Because afterall there is no 'I' in team.

I concur.

So on Saturday this pug referred to in the post below, known as Desmond Booysens, a 'hospitality' usher at Holy Spirit Catholic church decided that he was going to discriminate against my son and I. This will be the second time he has done this. The first time he did it was the end of September 2026. On Saturdaymy son counted until four in church in a whisper level voice (so not loud), and this man rudely and abruptly told me that I must take my son out of the church because he was disrupting the church. Please note that we were sitting at the back of the church, at the exit. And we were in the last 30 minutes of a hour and a half mass. Therefore mass was almost over and my child had been sitting still for an hour already which is a major ask from a two-year-old boy. It was clear that this Desmond Booysens was literally lurking and waiting behind us for the first opportunity that my child would open his mouth so that he could jump on us. As it was a clear lie that he was telling, I told him I would not be going outside with my son. A few minutes later a man who was under the supervision of his mother made loud noises in church, and I asked this Desmund Booysens whether he will be telling this mother to also leave the church with her child, and he did nothing, proving that he was indeed discriminating against my child and me, targeting us and he was indeed disrupting us. Later my two-year-old son spoke again softly and briefly, and this Desmund Booysens again told me in a rude, disrespectful and aggressive manner that I must leave the church with my child. This is after he allowed this other man to disrupt the church without once telling his mother who was supervising him to leave the church. I am using this as an example to show how he was discriminating against my son and I, because I never once expected this mother to leave the church with her child. Let's be clear Mr. Pug, you are using your position in church to do personal favours. These favours result in you disrespecting a mother and a little two-year-old toddler, a mother who is busy raising her child in the church and teaching him the ways of the church. Your goal is clearly to disrupt my son and my experience in church with the hopes of driving us away from church and that is not the work of God, it is the work of the Devil. Your surname is familiar, and I can link you to a couple of people who is behind your behaviour. It is apparent that your behaviour towards me is very personal. You are not acting in your capacity as a hospitality usher but instead you are abusing your position. Your ties will be exposed in due course. Stay away from my child and me.
