I can’t find anything about this in the news yet, but I have heard from reliable sources (702 and a mate in the pub last night) that Absa have given the corporate shoe to the rapidly exiting behind of Young & Rubicam.

I’d love to know what led to this. There’s nothing on their website, but this might be because their news-updater was one of the 15 plus staff members who received their own walking papers yesterday.

Does this mean we never have to hear Youssou Ndour and Neneh Cherry’s ’7 seconds’ again? Here’s hoping.
