Mojo Mahalingam answers tough questions
I want to put all speculations to rest. There has been a lot of talk about Mangoville being hostage to crony capitalism, that it is an oligarchy or a plutocracy. I don’t understand any of these terms. Writers keep coming up with new ones all the time and it is difficult to keep up. Aunty…

We have a detective in our midst!
I have allowed Snoopy Susie to write for this magazine. After all, detectives are mango people too. To be honest I wasn’t very keen.
