The director of my first film asked to use my actual name for the character - because it was authentic and beautiful. I felt flattered and agreed. And then in the credits they used my ‘nickname’ to differentiate from the character name. They stole my name. And I’m taking it back.
Actor Thandiwe Newton (
@thandienewton
) is reclaiming the original spelling of her name after it was misspelled as ‘Thandie’ for her entire career

“Just like OJ Simpson” What kind of mind spontaneously comes out with this pathetic and appalling simile? And he doesn’t even realise the horrific irony of blood on his hands. One day all this will all be thoroughly investigated, and he won’t be making any jokes then.
Boris Johnson made an awkward OJ Simpson reference as he toured a vaccination centre.

On August 5, a father failed get transport out of town. He only managed to get back to Mabvuku at 7pm after 6PM curfew and was brutally assaulted by soldiers. His name is David Mutendera. He could be your father or mine. Is this a free Zimbabwe governed by the rule of law?
