Sad whichever way you look at it.

For those of you who have been following the Oscar trial (I have to admit, I’ve steered well clear of it, watching nothing, listening to nothing, reading nothing, other than telling people that there’s only one person who actually knows what happened – ‘And you’re not it, let alone a lawyer’ – mainly because I’m totally sick of all the scandal-lovers out there who are only too keen to give you their ill-considered trite observations) – I found this, the first thing I’ve read, to be a considered piece by one of my favourite authors writing in South Africa today, Margie Orford. (Yes, run out and get her books – they’re really good!)
