Manto-Tshabalala Msimang and Thabo Mbeki VS Nozizwe Madlala Routledge. Stella Ndabeni with Faith Mutambi. Godfrey Oliphant vs Ngoako Ramatlhodi. Jeremy Cronin vs Thulas Nxesi and the whole cabinet. Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma effectively telling her boss Thabo Mbeki to withdraw from the HIV/AIDS debate. Everything has happened before. That's what makes journalism so rich because we excavate from a rich archive.

I have covered @MarkJCarney for years. Now he has his own electoral mandate (and has made history) - one of the best economists in the world. Perfectly suited to this fight. Calm. Charming. Deliberate and very clever. The US will regret this fight.
