Float Like A Butterfly Sting Like A Bee – It’s Schabir – Now Rearrested
14 Mar 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
You may or may not have noticed the Sunday Times front cover yesterday. The headline was gripping and revealing. One usually sees this when tabloids have a secret they’re unable to keep. This time however, tabloids aside, the headline had every right to froth in its very large font. Behold: “Shaik In Mosque Punch-Up”

Just How Tight Are Zuma And Gadaffi?
10 Mar 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
Links between these two high rollers have been gossiped about and reported on before. It’s no big secret that shortly after his 2006 arrest on rape charges, JZ made a shimmy over to Tripoli for five days where he met with Colonel Gaddafi. Now JZ and the Colonel have had a little phone conversation.

News Just In: Trevor Manuel Is Apparently A Gangster
07 Mar 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
As if gangsterism in the Western Cape wasn’t bad enough, I was as shocked as anyone to find out that Planning Minister, and former Minister of Finance, Trevor Manuel is a hardened gangster whose open letter accusing Jimmy Manyi of being a racist, may have unleashed the full wrath of Jacob Zuma’s best friend.

Zuma Rescued From Flirtatious Woman
01 Mar 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
Our commander-in-chief had to be rescued by his bodyguards when an unidentified woman got a little too frisky with him at a gala event in Sun City. The party, which was celebrated on the eve of the ANC’s election manifesto, has left our leader with the daunting task of explaining the incident to not one wife, but three. And you thought being president was easy.

01 Mar 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
With mainstream local media finding itself plenty to keep busy with over the last few days, a nice little presidential renovation story slipped past almost unnoticed. The top dog is obviously sprucing things up rather nicely at home because it’s costing close to R200 million.

Zuma Meets Bono – Cute [VIDEO]
18 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
In a touching display of celebrity-on-politician action, Bono delivered a bright red iPod to his new best friend, Jacob Zuma, at the presidential home in Genadendaal. Zuma looked visibly nervous at the specter that is Bono, so much so that he could barely manage to complete a sentence, and as one wasn’t written down for him, who could blame him.

ANC Rings In 2011 With A Four Day Bender
10 Jan 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
This is a novel idea from our ruling party: Move the end of year party to the start of the year, stretch it out over a weekend and end the whole thing with a concentrated celebration bash at the Moses Mabhida stadium. Add class to the event by serving Jack Daniel’s honey-glazed boerewors and subsidising the liquor. Now who said governing shouldn’t be fun?

NO ZUMA, NO COUNTRY?
05 Aug 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I’ve said it a before and I maintain that 2oceansvibe will never become altogether “political.” I do, however, have to lend an ear to the state of the nation and report back from time to time. Particularly when it is taking such a spicy tone, as it is at the moment. Jay Z […]
