He's a moron

GREG Ritchie (who?) appears to be a gold- plated moron, "Cricket world shocked by ... the racist of Oz" (November 11). Take the clown to court, Kepler. - John Wills, by SMS

GREG Ritchie, typical brainless idiot from Oz, talking to 250 braindead audience members. - Denise, by SMS

HARD to understand why you should waste the front page on a nothing former Australian cricketer. The Ritchie slob must be over the moon with free publicity. Pathetic lead story. - Alan Hancock, by e-mail

Ignoring abuse

WHEN Tony Leon in "A foreign policy as insubstantial as mist" (November 11) refers to SA's "uniqueness" in having "a consistent approach to human rights" he totally overlooks the UN's condemnation of SA for ignoring the atrocities perpetrated by warders on inmates at St Albans Prison in 2005. Not to mention Marikana. - Dave Price, CT

Careless mom

THERE have been so many cases of private "sex tapes" going viral, "Housewife's pain over sex tapes" (November 11). Surely, a mother should be more responsible than to post her photos via e-mail. - Suzy, by SMS

Not a mogul

ZIPHEZINHLE Msimango, please refrain from calling Khanyi Dlomo a "media mogul", M'wah's "Elusive sisters do it for themselves" (November 11). It makes a mockery of the word. Are we so "mogul-starved" in SA to confer the title on her? - Morten Herace, by SMS

Be sensitive

THE article "Africa's sexy angels rock the NY catwalk" (November 11) highlights how models are being compared to "starving African kids". Would the kid look any different if he or she was starving and of a different race? I wish the Sunday Times would be more sensitive to its diverse readers. - Wanjiru, by e-mail

You go girl!

MAGDALINE Lewis, despite her age, is an awesome woman, "Shhh, there's a school on my stoep" (November 11)! Many teachers would do well to take a page from her book. You are a true inspiration. You go girl! - Joan Silver, by SMS
