"Philip de Vos is ook daar, ewe aanwesig as die son, en hy is in alle opsigte die ster van die vertoning. Sy manier om die storie van Pieter en die wolf te vertel is fantasties."

"Die uitdaging vorentoe is om waaksaam te wees en nie toe te laat dat politici, amptenare of belangegroepe aan die media vertel slegs wat hulle wil hê die publiek moet weet nie."

Danie Botha deel ’n dramateks uit sy pen met LitNet.

"I, Tonya is billed as a film about skating, about the rivalry between Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan. In truth, it is so much more than that. It is a searing depiction of domestic violence, it takes on society’s expectation of how a woman should act, and it finally delivers an endearing portrait of a rather difficult woman who refused to be a victim."

"It’s a fierce film that does, refreshingly, not offer real redemption to any of the characters, but that does portray them as terribly flawed and utterly human."

"One lesson is that no amount of investment in water infrastructure, by itself, can root out water shortage. The dramatic growth in Las Vegas’s population and tourism industry over recent decades has stretched the city’s allocation from the Colorado River – which it shares with several states and other cities – as well as its available groundwater reserves. It remains vulnerable, but drastic changes in its approach to water management have helped the city avoid running out of water."

"Van kant gemaak is ’n boeiende roman wat ek hartlik in ons taal verwelkom."

"Sy vertel haar lewensgrepe deur te sing."

"Dit is sy oorskulp wat onder my linkerbors nestel. ’n Vlesige stetoskoop, darem warm."

"If belief in witchcraft were to lose its extenuating effect also, this would imply that the South African criminal justice system does not accommodate such a belief in any way, shape or form, which seems somewhat careless and ill-considered in an African context, where belief in witchcraft shows no sign of disappearing in the foreseeable future."

"Turning to possible solutions to this epidemic of violence, the participants agreed that education is an important vehicle, although some also referred to more severe punishment and a change in the social culture."

"Hoewel sommige dit dalk nie begryp nie, en ander weer meen dit het nie meer ’n plek in ’n ontwikkelende samelewing nie, is geloof in heksery steeds ’n werklikheid in Suid-Afrika. Om gewoon geen voorsiening daarvoor in ons strafregstelsel te maak nie, is onverskillig en onwys."

"The President’s Keepers brought to light abuse of and corruption at these agencies, and this raid is evidence of how the priorities are perverted."

"Daar was lanklaas ’n fliek van hierdie kaliber op ons kringloop. Three Billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri kry loshande my stem as vanjaar se Oscar-wenner vir beste film ..."
