Tsepiso caught napping

Irene Bester was the continuity presenter before the news.

I've always wondered where she picked up that hideous Australian accent; am no closer to solving this mystery, but she clearly received the equally hideous ribbed, lime-green, V-neck top and side-parting hairdo in the same bargain lot. Who would've thought Kath & Kim have South African competition?

And what was that large golden disk strung up from her neck? "An attempt at new age bling," was a fellow Mahendra-spotters attemtpt to make sense of it.

Tsepiso was softer tonight. The stern hairpiece of yesterday's broadcast was replaced with a more relaxed effect, and even her eyebrows seemed friendlier. Not quite 'out of bed' hair, but the rest of her appearance hinted that she'd been awoken from an early evening power nap.

Her pastel pink jacket was cut very generously, particularly in the sleeves, which were rather baggy and gave the jacket the air of a pyjama top. And the baby blue top she wore underneath did nothing to dispel the general feeling that she'd been caught in her sleepwear.
