AN UNBIASED RACIST There are many black people that I cannot stand. I hate it when they are arrogant. I hate it when they talk about me loudly to their colleagues, making no bones about the fact that they are ridiculing me, and I absolutely can’t stand this dancing when you are upset business. There are even more coloured people that I can’t stand. And whites, and Indians, and Chinese, and Portuguese and .. Read More………

BHEKI CELE - THE BOOK AND THE COVER It’s not always easy to not judge a book by its cover. I mean, who can blame me for thinking ‘Oh….My…..God’ when I first saw a photo of newly appointed Police Commissioner Bheki Cele, in one of his Mr Bojangles outfits? ‘OMG’ I declared silently. ‘They are appointing a clown as the top cop in the country.’ In retrospect, the cover does not seem to reflect the content, and I am beginning to really enjoy this book.

FUN WAY TO EARN ONLINE Quite a few Yummie Readers have joined me on the trip as we strive to earn an extra buck by clicking links on Neobux. It’s pretty tough going, as the money trickles in - a few cents a day – but we knew we were in for the long haul, and that we would not become rich overnight. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, check it out here. I have some good news for the faithful though. This one will earn you up to R10 000 for each original lead that you generate, and you are guaranteed to have lots of fun in the process. Read More….

THE FRUITS OF THE STRUGGLE Instead of expressing my personal take on this, I decided to simply state the facts and allow you to improvise. We are after all free now, and we are certainly free to think what we want. It being the season of goodwill, my gift to you is the freedom to form you own opinion. Nelson Mandela’s 26-year-old grandson Zondwa and Jacob Zuma’s 37-year-old nephew Khulubuse have just bought a 60% stake in DRDGold mine, at a cost of R296.2-million. Read More….

CONTROVERSIAL OR FUNNY? I’m pretty convinced that many are going to find this story offensive, but it is a true story. Muslims are only allowed to eat meat that has been slaughtered in a halaal manner, but they are allowed to eat anything from the ocean. Now I come from a very staunch Muslim background, and there are a number of Imams and Sheiks (religious leaders) amongst them. But there are also quite a few rebels in the family, and some of them are just plain naughty. Read More………

FILM COMPANIES EYEING CAPE TOWN The world’s major film producers are eyeing Cape Town and the city looks certain to become the next Hollywood. Nico Dekker, the chief executive of Cape Town Film Studios, which is being built outside Somerset West, has just returned from a trip to LA. Dekker was supposed to meet with three managers in Los Angeles, but when he got there he found 26 were waiting for him. This included the major players in Hollywood, namely Fox, Paramount, Disney, Sony, Universal and Warner. Read More………

400-MILLION EYES FOCUSED ON CAPE TOWN South Africa’s favourite - well only – Academy Award Winner is set to add some glitz and glam to the proceedings at the ITCC when the Final Draw for the Fifa Soccer World Cup takes place in the Mother of all Cities on Friday night. She will join soccer greats Eusebio, Roger Milla, David Beckham, Franz Beckenbauer and Michel Platini. Judging from the traffic in the Motherless City during peak hour since Monday, I wish the world cup was over. Read More……….

ZENOLIA IN LOS TEQUES I read with ambivalence the reports about the mental state of Zenolia Du Plooy, the South African woman who was sentenced to eight years in a South American prison last year. Du Plooy was found in possession of 799g of cocaine at an airport in Venezuela and is serving her time at the notorious Los Teques prison. Zenolia’s condition is said to be worsening, but I suspect foulplay. Read More………….
