Here’s what’s hot in the latest edition of the Afrikaans digital weekly
After a shambolic tenure as Britain's prime minister, Boris Johnson resigned on Thursday.It is fitting that Boris Johnson’s announcement that he will resign as British prime minister was messy, defiant and graceless and came at the end of a week of more revelations about Tory sleaze, writes Adri Kotzé in London.
As Dominic Cummings, Johnson’s former adviser who probably best knows the prime minister’s political instincts and style, said about him: In the end, there were one too many scandals and cover-ups. When it came to light that he had lied to his own MPs about what he had known in 2019 of sex abuse claims against MP Chris Pincher before appointing him as deputy whip, MPs resigned in droves. Last week a drunken Pincher allegedly sexually harassed two men in a private club.
