Plagiarism again
So far the industry has been rather quiet on the fact that Cynthia Vongai has been accused of plagiarising off the net.

Inside info has it that she was only suspended after much pressure from fellow employees. I find it terribly sad that people like Darrel and Cynthia are given revered celeb status in this country thanks to Style mag, Top Billing and the like. The truth is we are a small pond desperately seeking big fish. We put these people up on pedestals and it is a far place to fall from. There are talented and original journalists and writers that are never even given a chance to shine because this industry is all about who you know not what you know...
a sad state of affairs.
