Concern in the camp

1.Some are now worried if it's a case of three strikes and you are out! They say the first was totally wanting, the second was regarded as being neither here or there, but the third is being regarded as being so bad, it has many in the organisation wondering if the effect could be the slowing of momentum.

What to expect?

2.Observers say that when the expected indictment arrives, the country can expect street protests and all kinds of protestations.

Watch out!

3.Friends and family are hinting strongly that she should seek the intervention of a therapist as they are concerned that she is a kleptomaniac who keeps blaming staffers for missing stuff, when she is the guilty party. They say the situation is now so strange the helpers and gardeners last only a few weeks at best, and when they come in initially, the husband advises them to be on their guard!

'Blessed' award

4.Seems the "coveted award", is not so coveted in some quarters, as insiders say it has been the 'Kiss of Death' for many who have seen trouble after being 'blessed'.

Mr Tracey

5.Some have now taken to calling him 'Mr Tracey', and they say this is not his name, but his nature, and it is not becoming!

JDIP drama

6.Civil society are asking for more heads to roll in the JDIP drama, as they say the history of alleged financial impropriety runs deep.

Her Majesty's guest

7. Friends say its all very hush-hush, but the one missing from the social functions for the last few months or more is currently a guest of Her Majesty.
