Aleksandr Pylyshenko, a Ukrainian artist who owns a private zoo in the city of Vasilyevka, plans on living in an enclosure with Katya and Samson, his lions, for five weeks to raise money to improve the zoo’s living conditions and to increase awareness of underfunded private Ukrainian zoos. So that makes sense.

Clifton Bomber Busted Himself
04 Aug 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Hannah Rhind, daugher of Cape Town businessman Philip Rhind, was the target of a petrol bomb thrown at her father’s Clifton house earlier this year. We know this because her name was on the bomb. And in a rather embarrassing turn of events for Shumsheer Singh Ghumman, that little personalised touch also led to the speedy identification of him as the perpetrator.

Is The End Of Spam Nigh?
01 Aug 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
How many hours has it been since you were on the receiving end of an unsolicited spam SMS, or spam email? Did you know that South Africa has a national opt-out registry for that kind of thing? That’s true. You add your name to the national opt-out registry, and direct marketers (who are largely responsible for the spam SMS you got just a minute ago) aren’t allowed to contact you. The question is, who’s going to manage the list?

Receptionist Position Available At 2oceansVibe Media
28 Jul 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
We use the word “receptionist” fairly liberally. Yes, you’ll be manning the front desk, making coffee (good coffee), inflating beach balls, and using a walky-talky, but you’ll be doing a lot of other things, too. Fun things. And if it turns out that you have initiative and brains, you’ll make the step upstairs in no […]

A Diplomatic Mission From The Interior
26 Jul 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 4 Comments
So I was in Cape Town the other week. Nice bit of South Africa, that. I take much pleasure in pissing Cape Town off (it’s not like you’re not asking for it, though, the way you lot dress), but honestly, it’s a delightful bit of real estate. The year I spent there in 2007 was […]

Next time you’re on the beach (and frankly, given the current weather in Cape Town, that may be later today), bear in mind that there’s more to the scenery than meets the eye.
