Yesterday afternoon, Guatemala’s Volcán de Fuego (Volcano of Fire), an active volcano near Antigua, Guatemala unexpectedly began erupting, causing panic and the forced evacuation of over 33 000 people. The eruption caused volcanic ash to fall more than half a kilometre down the mountain.
Yesterday we reported on Julius Malema visiting more striking miners, and telling them how the president does not see them as a priority. At the same time, Jacob Zuma was asked in parliament to explain government’s action plan to return stability to areas that have been dogged by violence and protracted strikes.
Yesterday we told you we’d be having Stephen Birch on 2oceansVibe radio. If you missed his incredible story, you missed out. It’s a fantastic tale, and the South African property developer swears that he’s found her body buried in a driveway.
I am very surprised these days when I hear that some people don’t have a scanner – it’s one of the most used pieces of hardware on my desk. I’ve got everything scanned and saved in my dropbox. From passports and ID books, to legal docs and RICA/FICA info. They’re usually quite expensies, but not today. SaveR3,000 and get this thin scanner for just R499.
Lonmin makes offer to workers. Malema in firing line. Topless pics of Kate hit stands today. Calls for calm as protests erupt over anti-islam film. Film maker is a meth cooker. Lamborghini recalls 1,500 supercars. The crazy things women will do when turned on.
I was really enjoying the tennis court and imagined myself drinking pimms and eating cucumber sandwiches between sets. But the clincher was the subterranean squash court..
2oceansvibe’s sports columnist, Sean Wilson, considers the merits of the shortened, shortened game, ahead of the upcoming T20 World Cup that gets underway next week.
Some of you may remember this guy, Stephen Birch. He’s a South African, who claims to have found Madeleine McCann’s grave, and – get this – the Portuguese government know about it too, but choose not to act on it. Birch will be live on Mark Bayly’s show at 16h15 this afternoon. Make sure you […]
This is why you don’t tempt fate. Or use stupid sayings. Or tweet whilst driving. Or tweet while driving drunk, while “going 120 drifting corners.” This is the fate that was suffered by a Canadian rapper and his friends recently, after deciding to have a little too much fun.
For the second time in 28 years Africa can say it has a new species of monkey – the lesula is found in remote forests of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Three Cape Town brothels, in Milnerton, Claremont and Diep River respectively, were shut down and their operators arrested during a joint operation between the Hawks and the City of Cape Town’s Vice Squad.
In another instance of sheep-like behavior, research shows that a banner message on Facebook showing users’ friends who voted drove a third of a million more voters to the poll booths in the 2010 US elections. It’s not simply people responding to a message, but rather seeing their friends had voted, that they then followed suit.
After his much talked-about Tuesday interview on CNN, Julius Malema visited about 60 SANDF soldiers at the Lenasia Recreation Centre yesterday. Before the day was done, he danced and sang a bit, called South Africa a “banana republic”, ripped into president Jacob Zuma, talked Twitter, and got mobbed by a group of school kids. Check out all the action inside!
Cassandra Bankson is a 19-year-old Californian girl. Unfortunately, genetics blessed her with rather awful acne, so bad that she stopped attending school because of the constant bullying. So she did what I suppose any girl in the same position would have done – she made a YouTube video.
There are half a billion Android devices worldwide. You have to believe that Google is planning to, at some stage, release Google TV for Android.
Flightradar24 has been around for a while now yet it seems that it’s slipped under the, er, radar, of many people. The flight tracking service gives you “real-time information for thousands of aircraft around the world” – you’ll never miss a flight, or an important airport pickup, ever again.
The new iPhone 5. ANCYL leader accused of murder. Striking miners shut down mine. US send marines and warships to Libya. Zuckerberg admits wasting years. Anonymous pilot reveals secrets airlines don’t want you to know.
It’s all happening so fast I might need a little lie down. Here they are, they first pictures of the iPhone 5. Click to see them. It’s the thinnest smartphone…. wait for it…. EVER!
Tens rugby is about to take Jozi by storm! The weekend that isn’t just about rugby, as we all know, is taking place this weekend – the 14th and 15th of September – at Pirates Rugby Club in Parkhurst.
Johnny Ives, Apple’s Senior Vice President of Industrial Design, just put down $17 million for a stunning, five-storey mansion in San Francisco’s Gold Coast. So, what exactly does that kind of money buy you? Let’s take a look.
Rockumentaries are usually about fame, the paranoia of money and the affects of a sex, drugs and rock ‘n roll lifestyle on the road. Searching for Sugar Man reinvents the genre with a real-life mystery about Sixto Rodriguez, a ’70s music icon, whose career was stifled and forgotten… or so it seemed. Decades after Rodriguez […]
How do you know that someone went to UCT? They tell you. Why wouldn’t they, after yet another year at the top of the rankings for Africa. They’ve even climbed a few more places this year. Keep that in your back pocket for the next time you’re having a beer and need some bragging rights.
This is quite something. During the 1950’s, the US conducted various atomic tests. Some of those took place underwater, and this archive footage shows the raw power of atomic energy. Pat Bradley was one of the cameramen who documented the US atomic tests during that time, codenamed the Wahoo and Umbrella underwater explosions. He narrates […]
A suspected drunk driver has been caught on camera crashing into a petrol pump at a filling station in Kroonstad. As you’ll see from the footage, the driver literally missed crushing the petrol attendant to death by milliseconds. But unbelievably no one was injured. The driver, identified as one Molefi Mokoena, then proceeded to belly-flop out his car window before trying to escape. He was however quickly apprehended by witnesses and appeared in the Kroonstad Magistrate’s court on charges of drunk driving.
A crap film is the cause of two attacks on American embassies in Libya and Eygpt. Followers of an ultra-traditionalist approach to Islam are very pissed about a video called the “The Innocence of Muslims” that not only portrays the prophet Mohammed, but ridicules him as a homosexual, an advocate of paedophilia, and shows him having sex.
Reuters has just reported that the US ambassador to Libya and three other embassy staff were killed in a rocket attack on Tuesday in the Libyan city of Benghazi.
I always forget about brandy. When I want a spirit straight, I end up choosing whiskey. But after a recent tasting of brandies by Distell, I am going to have to start changing my ordering tactics.
Robots have an unfortunate rep as cold, heartless machines designed with the express purpose of crushing, destroying or otherwise permanently rearranging the makeup or anything smaller or weaker than themselves. A newly released video however casts the mechanical beings in a different light, one which shows that they are capable of immense finesse, so much so that they could pick a flower without damaging it at all.
This is seriously creepy. When Tracy, a single mother of five, heard strange noises coming from her roof, it was only natural to assume that some kind of animal had managed to find its way in there. Must have been quite a shock to find the man that she broke up with 12 years ago.
Looking his militant best, all clad in ANC Youth League colours, topped off with a militant beret, Julius Malema found himself on CNN with Christiane Amanpour yesterday.
