ISSUE №1 — this cycle's opener: no prior result exists yet, so the write-up earns the vote with "why this, why now" instead

The Staffroom BallotIssue №1

A New Monthly Feature

Every SA staffroom has The Argument by early September — the one about whose braai is happening where, and what's actually going on it. This year we're not settling it in the WhatsApp group. We're settling it here, once a month, with an actual number attached.

Heritage Day, 24 September: braai broodjies, or tjops?

Two camps. One national holiday. Cast your vote below — we'll open next month's issue with the result, right before we hand you Question No. 2.

Braai Broodjies

Tjops

Counting down — we built a live, ticking clock to Heritage Day. Watch it tick →

ISSUE №2 — the format once a result exists: opens by reporting back, THEN poses the new question

The Staffroom BallotIssue №2

Last Month's Result

Braai broodjies won, 64% to 36%. Tjops supporters, we see you — and we're not done arguing this one out.

Heritage Day's settled. October's got its own staffroom flashpoint brewing: half-term is landing right in the middle of exam prep for some of you, and everyone has a strong opinion about whether that's a disaster or a gift.

Half-term during exam prep: relief, or the worst possible timing?

Vote below — we'll report back next issue, before Question No. 3.
