“Anchors are fools with substance, and the truths they dispense, though clothed in comedy, take precedence over amusing antics. They are professional fools, intelligent fools that know exactly what they are doing. Discerning and wise, these fools coax, cajole, instruct and criticise their leaders, transforming their mindsets, anchoring and initiating changes in their behaviour, without fear of retribution.”
