South Africa is in the spotlight and it’s not a good one – we have the whole African continent on the verge of ganging up against us because of a few pig-headed individuals.
Surely if Miranda Kerr can do it, we all can? No, darling, I’m not talking about walking the catwalk. I’m talking simple social media photo-sharing.
Ranjeni Munusamy from the Daily Maverick gives us a thoroughly thought-provoking piece on xenophobia and the real state of our nation.
With so much hatred so visible in the world currently, we need more people like this young lady to stand up and defend others when they’re not in the wrong.
If you thought the burning and defacing of statues was our only worry in South Africa, you’ve got another thing coming with this group of people.
South Africa is not running around with the best reputation at the moment and it’s not very hard to see why everyone is talking about us in a not very rose-coloured light.
Ah, cats. Endless entertainment. Just the other day I was watching mine have the time of its life with the plastic packaging of a nine pack of Baby Soft loo paper.
Rhodes is gone, and not without a fair share of drama attached. What about the rest of the statues? Who do we listen to about the delicate subject?
Sometimes, laughter really is the best medicine. It’s healthy to be able to laugh at serious things. And wouldn’t you rather be laughing than sitting like a grumpy grouch in your rocking chair?
Rhodes is falling, so hopefully UCT students can resume classes ASAP, but clearly not without a little help from the SAPS and some Casspirs.
This will come as absolutely no surprise to anyone, especially if you’ve been reading the news of late. Here’s the latest defacing of South Africa’s history.
Mugabe is stirring the pot a little bit with what he has to say about Cecil John Rhodes being buried in Zimbabwe. What will his comrades say, I wonder?
The good old skinny vs fat debate that never settles is seeing some more airtime at the moment with this American label giving Victoria’s Secret a poke.
Barack Obama, now into his 7th year as president, has had a few ups and downs. Here’s a happy story about one of his “up” moments.
Religion. It can be good, it can be bad. It causes war and destroys cities. It ignites faith when all else seems hopeless. But what about Scientology?
This makes it very clear that some people still have major issues with something that we should not even be blinking an eye towards.
The whole Rhodes issue really gets me heated, so bear with me, as we are all allowed our opinions. But seriously, he’s dead. He is no longer doing anything bad.
Dj Sbu needs to stop getting into trouble: first it was endorsing his new energy drink at an event and then it was being caught for speeding, twice. Come on, old chap.
The Rhodes Statue Issue has moved across oceans in the past few days – here’s what the rest of the world is saying about the poo issue and what’s going on.
The Great IVF debate continues, and now we can hear what Madonna has to say about it (probably whilst she wears a pair of D&G jeans…).
Oh no, American Apparel has done it again – this time it’s with a girl who looks underage and now the whole world is complaining about it. Obviously.
UCT Vice-Chancellor Dr Max Price has issued the entire student body and staff with a game plan regarding the Cecil John Rhodes statue issue.
I highly doubt Cecil John Rhodes ever anticipated being covered in human poo, yet it has happened. And these are supposed to be the educated kids.
Elton John clearly cannot avoid a spot of shopping in LA, and must have thought no paparazzi would see him with this…
The Elton/D&G debate is turning into a bit of a tennis match, and quite frankly it would be so much more entertaining with a bowl of strawberries and cream and a Pimm’s cocktail.
The world has found its next debate (remember the dress? So last week). Now we have #TeamElton vs. #TeamD&G. Whose side are you on? Can you really give up your bottle of Light Blue for Candle in the Wind?
Helen Zille did a very nice thing for the people of Cape Town by giving us her front lawn on Saturdays, so why are people getting irate?
D&G have offended a whole stack of people, and this time it is not because they have used the fur of baby foxes: they have said something about IVF kids.
There’s a full out war waging on the planet: pants versus leggings. It’s a legit war. Sometimes there are serious fashion crimes involved, and they need to stop.
Julie Andrews was a pretty nun in The Sound of Music and no one asked questions about that, so why the spotlight on this girl, just because she is beautiful?
