Copposites is a body swap crime comedy from I Now Pronounce You Black and White writer-director Oliver Rodger. It’s refreshing to see a high concept comedy from South Africa, starring local comedians Rob Van Vuuren and Siv Ngesi, with support from Nik Rabinowitz, Alfred Ntombela and Loyiso Gola. Sadly, this stellar comedy line-up is wasted […]
Superman is quitting the Daily Planet, the newspaper he has worked at since the 1940’s and will start blogging. DC Comics says Kent will walk out in protest that hard news has given way to too many “soft” entertainment stories.
Who remembers the ‘Desert Oasis Fantasy Girl’ they featured? Remember the one about a girl waiting for a bus somewhere far away from the city. Hot..
Sharks, particularly Great Whites, have a pretty bad rep. The apex predators are often labelled as man-eaters based on a handful of out of context events.

The South African Maritime Safety Authority (Samsa) today released the findings of its investigation into the Miroshga Hout Bay boat accident. In it, they found that an incorrectly wired pump led to the blue and white catamaran taking on too much water, and eventually capsizing.

I conduct most of my summer “meetings” at the Mount Nelson‘s Oasis Restaurant, so I’m particularly excited for their new ‘bistro style’ refurb! And get this, the old buffet is no longer! They’re going a-la-carte! Tthe menu includes items like oysters, sizzling steaks, burgers, baby chicken, salads, pizzas, club sarmies, cheese boards, home made breads, […]

It seems Cycling South Africa is more concerned about prizes and competitive cycling, than safety on our roads. Surely the ACTUAL law should be more important than a SPORT’S law? Or do you only take something seriously when your now-fallen saviour Lance is involved? Read on…
This can’t be linked to the recent strike turmoil in the country, but it’s still a reflection of heightened global economic uncertainty. It should also serve as a wake up call to those involved in wasteful spending, but it probably won’t.
The new iPad Mini. Lance deletes Tour wins from Twitter bio. Trump has Obama divorce papers. Monster energy drinks shares tumble amid deaths. Royals on red carpet for Bond premiere. Malema Set For Top ANC Position. Die Antwoord denies ‘blackface’ racism.

I’ve never been on a cruise and I’ve never had anyone fully explain to me what it’s about and what it’s like. So for those of you who haven’t done one yet, listen to this (you won’t believe what I paid).
Nestor Guillen on Sunday equalled the world record for the most number of red cards handed out during a soccer match, er, brawl, when he sent off 36 players in a Paraguayan junior league match.
Given the extensive history between 2oceansvibe and our methode cap classique of choice, Pierre Jourdan (Seth’s parents planted some of the trees on the farm!), we found this story about the coat of arms at Haute Cabrière of the German von Arnim family very interesting. We think you will enjoy it too.
The poor Greeks. With mounting financial cut-backs, Greece is dealing with – what is believed to be a first for Western Europe – the first domestic cases of malaria since 1974.
I have mentioned in one or more of these columns that I am not exactly a fan of wine competitions. In this column I report back on the challenges I faced when helping judge in a recent local competition.
Tomorrow marks the start of Islam’s annual Hajj (which means pilgrimage), a trek to the Grand Mosque in Mecca made by millions each year. These breathtaking photos offer a glimpse of the masses already at, or en route to, the mosque.
Juggling is a pretty neat party trick, ever more so when you can do it with empty classes or your best mate’s triplets. Not all juggling involves throwing things in the air though – contact juggling is a completely different beast, and this video from the 2012 Japan Juggling Festival Championship will leave you mesmerised.
Activists from Greenpeace Africa, groundWork and Earthlife Africa JHB, this morning hoisted a banner and chained themselves to the entrance of Megawatt Park, Eskom’s headquarters in Johannesburg.

SURELY I’m not the only one who bought this camera before I had finished reading the headline? Imagine monitoring (with live sound and video) any room in the world (via Wi-Fi) from any computer in the world? You can even watch on your iPhone!
The picture you are looking at was posted to Facebook on Sunday by Ilka Dunne. While booked in to the Northcliff Audi branch, her car was involved in an accident that has led to it being written off. How exactly this happened is a story we’d still love to hear!
Entries now open for a Friday fit for a king on 26 October. Open to residents of Cape Town and surrounds. Where were you last month when Jack Daniel’s and 2oceansVibe treated Johan and his mates to an afternoon of whiskey rounds, and cutting his own record at an exclusive recording studio?
