Crappy tabloid journalism has come to Cape Town. I'm not talking about 'The Next 48 hours' - that shitty weekend guide newspaper that no-one reads (which I used to write for and that is run by a useless, corrupt, lying, stealing arsehole). No, I'm talking about the Daily Voice and Die Son (Afrikaans for: The Sun, how co-inkydinkle).
I couldn't resist taking a photo of this story, which appeared last month on the front page:
A bergie is a homeless person.
Kaal means naked but in this context means 'thoroughly'.
The story, basically, was that a homeless person came in via a back enrance and robbed a strip club. The main point was that, instead of making off with the bottles of booze that were lying around, he stole the panties and bras of the strippers which were packed away nearby.
THAT'S THE STORY. THAT'S IT. Front page.
Sigh. It makes you laugh though. I wonder how many copies that sold them?
It was handy that the paper could have models recreate what happened on pages 6 and 7, and run a handy sidebar with other famous 'mofies'.
