Last night Mahendra wore a tie of purple, white, and pink stripes. It was complemented by a pastel pink shirt, and his trusty navy suit. His hair was immaculate as usual - not a strand out of place.
However, I detected a certain hesitancy in his manner during his usual parting quip: "And that's a wrap for the English news [lengthy pause] tonight!"
Am glad the Raghunath managed to end off with that bright "tonight". Who knows if the sun will rise tomorrow, but at least the news on SABC 3 is a certainty, even if we don't know who'll be reading it...
Btw, missed the news on Tuesday night, but heard Mahendra was wearing a shocker of a tie. Please do add a comment if you happened to spot it.

A a stripy affair

If I recall correctly the previous evenings tie was a counter-cross diagonal number with a masculine shade of purple, calming blue and earthy brown.
Am battling with colour recollection as our News Hero was distracting with flashing Bardot-pouts before each pre-recorded article insert.
The trend was: 1) if he was going to read the voiceover to the article = no pout before footage started. 2) if it was going to be a 3rd party reporter (wearing no tie) = flash-pout before footage started.
A definite development in stage presence.
Not sure if this is a Riaan influence.
