Where you can read me today

My weekly Friday TV column Op die Kassie appears in Die Volksblad today, I have some advice for Viwe Soga and Rachel Stuart of Flash! on SABC3.
Like, you pronounce Josh Duhamel as ''Du-mel'' (like in ''caramel'' and NOT ''camel'') and John Statham as ''Stay-tem''. . .

(I had to help my one ex magazine editor right on ''Du-mel'' as well, who also kept on with Du-hamel, Du-hamel in the desert is a camel.)


If you don't get people's names right, you're going to be called out like Katherine Heigl did to the Emmy voice-over announcer woman who also obviously didn't practice or bothered to ask a producer to confirm whether you say it ''Hee-ghil'' or ''Hi-gull''.

Do you know how to say her name?
