I suppose it is inherent in our human nature to complain about everything. If it’s not too warm, then it’s too cold, when it’s not raining, everyone wants rain, and then when it rains, people complain about it raining all the time. God must think we are the most dissatisfied bunch of misfits He ever [...]
According to me (and I’m sure thousands of other proudly South Africans), Die Antwoord is the next best thing to come out of South Africa. Not very popular with the more conservative side of our beautiful and diverse country; I have read some very heated comments on blogs all over the internet.
Lately there has been a lot of political upheaval here in South Africa again. Ol’ Julius Malema has been making a proper arse of himself nationally and internationally. First it started with his singing of the so-called “ANC freedom song”, “shoot the boer” and then the other night he chased an international journalist out of [...]
Just having watched the news and hearing about the 24.8% price hike, as of April this year, feels like a bit of a stab to the heart. Yes, living in a small home, this only means an increase of R80 per month for me, but what about people who can’t even afford to put food [...]
Cape Town is a great place. We all know that. I just returned from a nice long holiday there. Cape Town has always struck me as a beautiful place with the mountains and the peninsula. In the past I never had an opportunity to stay over for long. I was always just in and out [...]
I don’t know what it is like in other parts of South Africa, or even the world, but here in Port Elizabeth it seems people have no idea how a traffic circle works. People this is not a 4 way stop! It does not work like a traffic light either. And NO, it is not [...]
We went down to Oudtshoorn the weekend. Phew is it hot down there! Anyway, on Saturday night after making good with the family and a huge braai and everyone ended up in the pool we decided to head out. The first thing on everyone’s lips was, Lemon ‘n Lime. We weren’t sure what to expect. [...]
So a friend of mine told me of the Ox Braai at Bathurst near Port Alfred. I’ve heard of it before but have never been there. So we decided to take the trip and go find out what it is all about.We got there a bit late. There were people everywhere and finding parking was [...]
Last Saturday we went to see DJ Fletcher from African Dope Records at Gondwana Cafe. Fletcher has the ability to put a crowd on the dance floor.. and to keep them there!I don’t remember leaving the dance floor once, except for getting refills on our drinks. From Drum & Bass, through to dub and funk, [...]
On Friday night we were entertained by Draining Patience at the Full Stop pub & grill in Cape St Francis. Even though they started performing a bit later, they still rocked the place.Unfortunately our winter residency is not too great but the people that were there sure made enough noise to make up for the [...]
