Yet another idiotic headline by South Africa's
Daily Sun newspaper - and since their idiotic website is under idiotic construction, I couldn't find out anything about the story. And nope, I couldn't buy the newspaper, it was late on Sunday, driving through a rural bit of the Eastern Cape.
Given my country's history of apartheid and that old madam and maid concept, I would, in fact, be interested to know the story - but not from a snotrag tabloid's point of view. I also question the word usage there - everyone I know says "domestic worker" these days and "madam" is a term reserved for those painfully formal cases and not based on race. OK sure, there are verkrampte exceptions all over the place, but in the public print media like that? Are they insane?
Based on no facts or knowledge at all, I am going to assume that what we have here, is a love story that got leaked by a fool. Well, I hope it's a love story, since just shagging someone who works for you is a bit dodgy after all. It's not impossible though - there have been stranger love stories in the world.
If anyone read the Sun that day, or knows anything else about it, I'd be delighted to hear from you.
