South African Tabloids

South Africa boasts their very own tabloid, The Daily Sun. Although there is no Page 3 dolly-bird bearing her breasts, it very much copies the same design, editorial and fonts as it’s British counterpart.

Front page news articles from Friday’s edition was an article claiming there had now been 33 deaths this month due to botched circumcision surgery. There is also a quarter page photo of a guy who promised to pay his prostitute US$200 in American currency but failed to be able to produce US$1 or even more than ZAR10. He was stripped naked by security guards at the hotel who stripped him naked, sprayed cold water with a hose over him, and probably then sold the picture they took of this to The Daily Sun newspaper.

Classic stuff indeed!
