Do you trust the MEDIA these days ?

Miss Susan Botha, ex Paarl Post Journalist, now apparently based at the Swartlander Newspaper in South Africa faces potential FINANCIAL RUIN when a Pending Civil Case goes ahead against her in both the South African and British High Courts.

Mr. Glenn Strutt, a well respected art dealer in the USA & Europe (who most certainly does NOT have a criminal record in South Africa, neither a record of "shady business", as incorrectly and falsely reported, amongst a few other defamatory allegations against him, specifically by The Paarl Post), provided irrevocable documentary proof that Miss Petrie was indeed a South African artist (1932-2006)

Susan Botha provided false, inaccurate and unsubstantiated information to the Sunday Times of London and The Paarl Post which was defamatory, full of inaccuracies, unsubstantiated accusations & innuendo about a former South African who has sold paintings by an apparently "fake" South African artist to well-known British collections, International Collectors.

The SA Press Ombudsman is looking into the matter after a formal complaint was lodged by Mr. Strutt
