That is correct. A real lion has been fingered (no) as reason why potential voters from the Vhembe region in Limpopo were not able to register to vote this past weekend for the upcoming local government elections. I’m thinking The Ghost and the Darkness and humming the chorus to Bon Jovi – Wild In The Streets.
With Charlize Theron and District 9 getting all the sunshine, I think we tend to forget that there are thousands of South Africans globally doing sick things. Like Ari Kruger – his short film, Focus was chosen as one of the finalists of Australia’s Tropfest 2011. This is the biggest short film festival in the world, and what’s more impressive is that Ari’s film was the only non-Australian film on the list. High five!
All car manufacturers want a website like the new MINI.co.za website. That’s just a fact. So go and check it out – It’s got everything you need and answers to every question that you might have. And yes, it has the most killer shots of every model! I’ll be honest, I’m loving my Countryman, but […]
2oceansvibe caught up with the director of the biggest forthcoming sci-fi film of the year, Battle: Los Angeles. Jonathan Liebesman is a born and bred Joburg boy making big waves in Hollywood, and an avid Proteas fan. With subject matter ranging from film research and alien weaponry, to comparisons with contemporary director Christopher Nolan and […]
Due to the growing occurrence of ‘Facebook suicides’ a help system has been put in place, which allows users concerned about potentially suicidal friends to report the activity to Facebook, which will trigger a hotline response reaching out to the depressed party.
A lot of you might recall the drama experienced as the date of last year’s ‘Vibe’ party closed in. A large number of you had forgotten to buy tickets and you only realised the day before that all of your mates were going and you really wanted to go. Please do yourself a favour and […]
British actor Daniel Craig has appeared in drag for a video ad to mark International Women’s Day, which is celebrated today, 8 March. During the video Craig, renowned for his role as womanising spy James Bond, is educated on the state of women’s rights around the world by none other than Dame Judi Dench.
In what has got to be an all-time low for human nature, people in the township of Umlazi in KwaZulu Natal have to live in fear of being robbed of their anti-retroviral drugs. According to a BBC report, gangs in the settlement are mugging people for their ARVs, which they then use to lace joints, apparently to increase their high.
Perlemoen, in particular. I know a few chaps who used pull out the odd perly when we were younger. It was childish and naive at the time I thought, although I too engaged in other unrelated mischief of my own. Anyway, aquaculture has always fascinated me and the recession did it no favours. This however, might be the new oil.
When you’re a high-profile individual and in the public domain, your online ‘footprint’ should probably be the first thing that you safeguard. With William Booth as her lawyer, it is surprising that this particular “Lady Amelia Spencer” Flickr album has not been password secured or shut down – especially when she is in the middle […]
Every once in a while I see something that stirs this old heart of mine, and this counts as one of those. Estela, a little orphan spider monkey in Australia has found comfort in a stuffed animal after her real mom abandoned her. More “awwww!!!” pics inside.
Jay’s pad.. Great Gatsby Mansion To Be Torn Down – It could be a tragic ending for this mansion. The Sands Point, L.I., mansion that was said to be author F. Scott Fitzgerald’s inspiration for his legendary novel “The Great Gatsby” is about to be demolished, Newsday reported. After sitting on the market at $30 million, the […]
Pac-Man has been around for more than three decades. This little yellow mouth has adorned cereal boxes, had its own cartoon series, and appeared on virtually every gaming platform to have ever been released. But here are five facts you probably didn’t know about him.
I mean don’t get me wrong, I’d want a robot clone too, it’s just not totally clear why Henrik Scharfe, professor at Aalborg University, actually got one assembled by the Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute in Japan. It’s ostensibly the first android with a beard, though, so yay science.
There is nothing quite like the excitement generated by a motor show. Especially the Geneva Motor Show, which has opened for its 81st edition. Here is a little taste of what’s been going down over in Geneva.
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.
Attention all Star Wars acolytes: your beloved messiah, George Lucas, has decided to milk even more money out of you. Yes, he’s re-releasing the entire series again, but this time in 3D. All of which will make him richer than Rupert Murdoch and Oprah combined.
We’ve covered a bit about the local Clifton Shores series which is currently being filmed in Cape Town. But we haven’t told you that the villa the cast are staying in, is also available to you at 2oceansvibe Villas! Follow the link to check out the Clifton Shores villa on 2oceansvibe Villas!
The last time I went to the Puma Social Club in Cape Town, I went head-to-head with Herschelle Gibbs – table tennis bat in my one hand, cold brewskie in the other. Hot babes all over my stick. Because that’s how you roll at the Puma Social Club. I’d kill to check out the one […]
The French are preparing to sail themselves into unchartered waters when the ban on wearing the Muslim burqa and other Islamic face coverings in public places comes into effect in just over a month. Racial tensions in that country have already begun to boil with the John Galliano “I love Hitler” incident. This will be interesting.
How is this for Monday awesomeness? That flying house from Up! has been recreated and all it took was three hundred weather balloons full of helium. The house floated about three kilometers into the air for about an hour. More pics inside.
Brazilian ad agency Loducca has put together a collection of geo-tagged street art from Google Street View for Red Bull. The site is sweetly designed, with decent Cape Town representation. How exactly this is going to sell Red Bell any caffeinated beverages is beyond me, but whatever.
I’m not going to pretend that the Caprice Beach Volleyball Tournament was packed with revolting-looking people and everyone was bored. As much as I don’t want you to feel bad if you didn’t make it, IT WAS EPIC. Well done to the Savages who took the glory! I got that pic of the girl from […]
ANC Youth League President and man of letters, Julius Malema, says that his organisation would like some shares in mining company Anglo American, 60% to be precise. The predicated price of what would be a record take-over, the ANCYL predict, would be about R0.00.
If you, like me, weren’t able to get to a television for whatever reason this weekend, you may have tuned in and listened to the blokes on the couch on 2oceansvibe Radio and their alternative commentary. You may also have heard them speaking in awe about the cult-like properties of the “Bearded One”. Here is his story.
Phil Collins Quits Music – His back hurts from a dislocated vertebra. He’s lost some of his hearing. Nerve damage makes it hard for him to hold his drumsticks. The decades of rock and roll have taken their toll on Phil Collins – both from the wear-and-tear on his body and the pain from the constant […]
Look, we dig the odd spot of gaming here at 2oceansvibe. If you swing by the 2oceansvibe Media Headquarters in Waterkant Street and head upstairs, just past Richard Hardiman’s desk but in front of the boardroom, you may or may not find a little lounge set up there, tastefully furnished, with the odd plasma screen, […]
When you go and see U2 in concert you expect a religious experience of some kind. And why wouldn’t you? God is on lead vocals after all. And the price of the ticket leads you to believe He’s going to pay you some special attention, forgive you for your sins and send you on your […]
This has Blood Diamond 2 written all over it. In fact I’m going to tweet DiCaprio about this just as soon as I finish writing this piece. Don’t you want to hear more of Danny Archer’s bru’s and boets too? Either way, this is a big diamond we are talking about.
What’s in my bag? Free songs by Die Heuwels Fantasties, Moses Metro Man, and Dance, You’re on Fire! That’s right folks, step right up.
