Stoopid People
This is a true sign of how stupid some people are. A quote from this article made me smile:
“You must go back and tell Mugabe that we love what he is doing for the people of Zimbabwe. He is doing a good work. You must tell him that we love him. We love him for [...]
Totsiens, Groot Krokodil
PW Botha, one of the staunchest apartheid advocates and ex-prime ministers/presidents of South Africa, has popped his clogs at the ripe old age of 90. Not a bad innings.
I don’t remember much about this guy other than he was the head of state in South Africa for the first 10 years of my life, and [...]
Jo’burg International is No More
Don’t worry, it’s still there, but as of today, it’s just called the OR Tambo International Airport.
Bloody waste of money if you ask me… South Africa is still a third world country with thousands of people living in poverty, yet members of the government seem to be dead keen on wasting millions of Rands [...]

There was a noticeable decrease in the number of car flags the very next day. Unfortunately, this is kind of understandable as any sort of patriotism in this country that [...]
- 03 Jul → southafrica.info has an interesting article on how most South Africans view themselves as neither, black, white, pink nor khaki, but rather as “South African”, when asked to define their primary identity - that is, the group to which they belong “first and foremost”. I couldn’t agree more, I’m not white, I’m South African, now all we need to do is get the rest of the world to add this option. ( 0 )
Zuma Trashes Two Major Campaigns
Well, it seems Jacob Zuma has trashed everything two major campaigns in South Africa have fought for - Women’s Rights and AIDS Education and Awareness (millions have been spent on this one).
Jacob Zuma was acquitted of rape in the Johannesburg High Court today. From all the stuff he’s said during the trial, he’s pretty [...]
