[Gordon Institute of Business Science]

TO ALL SANGONeT USERS 

The Gordon Institute of Business Science is hosting a forum "State of the
Nation - Media Influence" with the Editor of the Sunday Times, Mondli
Makhanya, The Mail and Guardian's Ferial Haffajee, Steuart Pennington from
South Africa the Good News, the GCIS and Anton Harber from Wits Business
School on Wednesday 2 July, 2008 at 17h30.

destructive? Is it all doom and gloom? How do South Africa's leading news
and opinion makers really feel about the current state of the nation?
