Blink - Black Information Link - Lee Jasper joins Voice of Africa Radio

n e thing to pay the mortgage....

Incognito: you know its better than that...If memory serves a certain pro black group also hosts a show on Monday nights...the same group who hosted Tony Martin after he was disinvited by one Lee jasper some years ago... So if said group still broadcasts on monday night I'd be interested to know how this is reconciled with Jasper now being a colleague of the SAME RADIO station and VOAR promoting him as a STAR turn on said station..

Then there is the fact that over the years Lee Jasper has been consistently attacked and vilified by callers on other Radio stations..so again it will interesting to see his response to this now that he has a platform.. and their response to him..

interesting...the plot thickens........
