Timeline

1952

David Bullard (born 1952, London) is a British-born and South African naturalized columnist, author, TV presenter and celebrity public speaker known for his controversial satire and sharp wit.

1981

Bullard studied English and Drama at Exeter University, gave up on the idea of becoming a barrister and, instead, became a trader on the London Stock Exchange before emigrating to South Africa in 1981.

1994

In South Africa he continued his career in financial services before starting a column entitled "Out to Lunch" for the Business Times section of The Sunday Times newspaper in 1994.

It was thought to be one of the most widely read columns published in the country (with a claimed readership at its peak of 1.7mln readers) at least in part because of Bullard's habit of insulting and infuriating the rich and famous.

2002

In 2002 the first collection of his columns, Out to Lunch, went straight to the number 1 best seller spot in December 2002.

2005

That was followed by a second collection, Out to Lunch Again, in 2005.

2007

The third, Screw it, Let's Do Lunch!, appeared in 2007 and remained on the best seller list for 4 months selling over 12000 copies

In March 2007 Bullard and his wife were attacked by two men in a home robbery and Bullard was wounded.

Shortly after the incident he told a newspaper "apart from having a bullet in me, I'm absolutely fabulous", though he complained of the bloody mess in his home.

2008

On 10 April 2008 Bullard was fired as a Sunday Times columnist after the publication, the previous Sunday, of a column entitled Uncolonised Africa wouldn’t know what it was missing, that the newspaper subsequently described as racist and insulting to black people.

On 13 April Sunday Times editor Mondli Makhanya apologised for publishing the column, saying that "by publishing him (Bullard) we were complicit in disseminating his Stone Age philosophies".

The same issue of the paper carried an entire page dedicated to letters regarding the column and firing, roughly equally divided between support for the paper and support for Bullard.

Bullard linked his firing with a column (Run out of gas) published in Empire magazine in February 2008, in which he was highly critical of the Sunday Times and its editorial management.

Makhanya denied any connection.

After a week of sustained media interest Bullard apologised for the offending column, but said the next day he would sue for unfair dismissal.

At least three complaints were laid against him with the South African Human Rights Commission.

Asked about Bullard in a press conference subsequently, arts and culture minister Pallo Jordan said his writing amounted to defecating on Africans and that "Bullard is the sort of person South Africa does not need within its borders."

2012

A fourth book ‘Out to Lunch, Ungagged’ was published in 2012 and contained a large collection of columns written after his firing from

The Sunday Times.

It is considered by many to be the best of his four books.

2014

In 2014 Bullard's case for unfair dismissal against Avusa entered its sixth year.

2019

In April 2019, Bullard wrote an article for The Daily Friend in which he mentioned the fact that his litigation with the Sunday Times had entered its twelfth year.
