Watch in amazement as Jon Qwelane uses the phrase “researchers/statisticians from hell!” five times in a 450-word column.

I’m not even going to bother critiquing the contents the column, an angry polemic directed at Jacob Zuma’s rape accuser and “researchers/statisticians” who have criticised Zuma’s endorsement of shower water as a tool for preventing HIV transmission (and are thus “from hell”). I just want to know why News24 employs a columnist who writes like a high-school student.*
