Guys, I know it's hard asking people to subscribe to read my stuff now. You know what else is hard? Retrenchment, which happened to me in 2017; happened to my media colleagues this year in the company.

Yeah, I went two years without a full-time job, 3 if we don't count the year I spent roughing it out as an media marketing manager, which turned into an ad sales job. Without New Frame, http://Bet.co.za , SA Rugby Mag, I'd have gone under. No jokes.
Also, I was supporting my sister through high school and supporting an unemployed mother, who is still of working age. I have two unemployed brothers, both under 30. Should probably not be sharing this one here but this is the real cost of "free journalism", retrenchments.
And I'm not trying to sell you subscriptions, those who can will subscribe. But I do assure I'll produce good quality, trusted journalism, like I have done by telling Aphiwe Dyantyi's story. It isn't easy to do that. Same applies to Sunday Times, M&G, all mags, newspapers, etc.
