No, we’re not trying to pull any wool over anyone’s eyes here. We know how some of you enjoy a good round of golf from time to time, and what with Pravin Grodhan going hard at the “sinners” again this year, what better way to spite him than buying your very own country club in Florida?
Yesterday 2oceansvibe published a photo of what the ISS confirmed to be an armoured personnel carrier being loaded on to a vessel in the Cape Town Harbour, shown above. NCACC spokesperson, Tlali Tlali, has confirmed to 2oceansvibe that South Africa has sold arms to Libya. Click link for more..
Those sneaky Russians! They’ve been calling beer “foodstuffs” all this time and not “alcohol” like the rest of us. The regulation of alcohol advertising and night-time sales is heavily affected by this and anything pretty much goes. But a new law will soon change that, introducing Russia to the 21st century where everyone else lives.
Oh, scientists. You discover an entirely new species of dinosaur on a quarry dig, and then you come up with a name for it that non-scientist people use to insult hefty folk with. I mean sure, you use the fancy Latin Brontomerus mcintoshi, but Thunder Thighs is the sort of thing people remember.
Last week a very drunk gate-crasher at Paris Hitlon’s 30th birthday party managed to steal her $2 000 birthday cake.
While the Libyan leader stubbornly clings to power amidst the uprisings that are sweeping his country, we thought we would take the time to remind you just how crazy he is. And let’s just say, as far as tyrannical African dictators go, he’s up there with the best of them.
We discovered Danny MacAskill in 2009. He was the antidote to the prawn carnage that we’d been suffering all over Cape Town for some time. Since then the video that he posted (Danny MacAskill-April 2009) has reached nearly 24 million YouTube hits. While MacAskill’s new video, released three months ago, has 7 million hits and counting.
Britain Borrows Jet From BP To Evacuate Citizens From Libya – Britain’s Foreign Office finally managed to load 300 Britons onto a plane at Tripoli, but only after it had borrowed the jet from BP.

A 2oceansviber spotted this vehicle at the cargo loading terminal of the Cape Town Harbour this morning. The photo appears to show a small tank, or an armoured personnel carrier. The photo appears in the wake of claims by the DA that South Africa exported armoured personnel carriers to Libya in late 2010. Guy Lamb of the Institute for Security Studies answers our questions.
Businessman and “club supersta” Kenny Kunene’s license disk is two years old. Kunene’s Lamborghini was spotted by 2oceansviber, Abi, at Mzoli’s this last Sunday, 20 February 2011. Kunene’s car was reportedly parked in the middle of the road.
You’re going to want to have a little look at this. Remember we talked about John Somers’ passionate encounter with Amarula the elephant yesterday? Well, a little earlier I received an email purportedly containing some shots of Amarula, doing his thing as you might say, to John’s new car.
Did Radiohead really allow a pretentious hipster to choreograph their latest video or is the joke on us?
It’s polo time again, people, and 2oceasvibe is giving away FOUR pairs of tickets to Saturday’s match between SA and India. As you will no doubt be aware, the event, held at Val de Vie, is the height of elegance and sophistication – so best you flip through a few copies of GQ and Vogue […]
Boxing is one of those sports that has fascinated Hollywood for ages… It’s easy to see how the blood, sweat and tears shed in the boxing ring could inspire films like Raging Bull and Rocky. Yet, the real drama happens outside the ring in preparation, training, media speculation and in betting circles.
So hey, I think this is the coolest think I’ve seen today – the music video to glam-rapper Spoek Mathambo’s reinterpretation of Joy Division’s ‘She’s Lost Control,’ shot in Langa, Cape Town, and directed by crazy influential photographer Pieter Hugo.
As a born and bred Joburger, this headline tastes like sweet justice. Looks like Jozi isn’t the only city that’s going to be klapped by the new tolling system. Capetonians are in for it too. See, that’s karma for you, you can’t have that mountain and stunning city without some repercussions.
Two women from the Ukrainian rights group “Femen” have been jailed for stripping off in protest against Italian pervert, and sometimes Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi’s alleged sexual misconduct.
Did Radiohead really allow a pretentious hipster to choreograph their latest music video? Find out after the break…
I was doing my thing in London in the late 90’s – you know, hanging at the Met Bar, getting fussy about pin-stripe suits and enjoying the exchange rate (20 to 1 when I left, can you believe it!). But one thing stood out during my time in London, and that was the chairs my […]
This was one of the remarks made by Trevor when he addressed a press briefing relating to the acid mine water drainage situation around jozi. We should take cognisance as it comes from the man who spent many years in charge of our country’s finances and who is also arguably the most trustworthy politician around. If that exists.
If you lived during the middle ages and suffered from Tourette’s, they called it possession by demons and burned you at the stake. Or made you the village idiot. But we’ve come a long way since then – thanks to a single pill taken daily, most people with psychiatric diseases like Parkinsons, OCD or even depression lead normal lives. Here’s humanity’s next step forward.
Forget the yacht; right now, submarines are where it’s at. So it’s pretty handy that the ‘Ego’ submergable craft by Korean company Raonhaje is going to be available a little later in the year; I mean yes the name is a little silly, but that’s okay because you’ll be the kind of person that owns a submarine.
It seems too good to be true, but a Bavarian brewery has been marketing delicious sports beer since 2001 and I’m only finding out about it now.
Yeah dude, I rock! Gadaffi Vows To Die A Martyr – Moammar Gadaffi vowed to die in Libya as a martyr in an angry tv address on Tuesday, as eastern regions had broken free from his rule in a burgeoning revolt. “I am not going to leave this land, I will die here as a martyr,” […]
I am always amused at how some people (myself included) only play the overseas lottos when the jackpots are over a billion. Like we couldn’t be bothered putting in the effort if the jackpot is only R500 million! Well, my friends, we’re in luck, because Wednesday’s US Powerball lotto jackpot is sitting on $155Million – […]
Street artist, Banksy, who has been nominated in the best documentary category for Exit Through The Gift Shop, has been told by the Academy award chiefs that he can’t attend the Oscars in disguise. Once again proving that the Academy are really just like a retiree committee, only richer.
The earthquake in Haiti last year caused massive destruction, but even more chaos looms in the aftermath. Traffickers are taking advantage of the situation by kidnapping, buying or stealing children. Some are being auctioned off to well-meaning yet ignorant western families while others are being forced into prostitution.
This past Thursday visitors to the Pilanesberg Game Reserve, which is located in the North West province near Rustenburg, were treated to a rather unpleasant experience. The new car that they were travelling in appears to have become the victim of a case of mistaken identity for a large and aroused bull elephant.
This guy is so amped for you to join him when he runs the Tokyo Marathon that he has constructed something called the iRig. It contains four iPhones, an Android, an iPad, three wireless routers, a weather station, a heart rate monitor, and a mock satellite dish up on his head.
Music executive Steve Stoute took out a full-page advert in the NYT’s Styles section on Sunday to display his open letter to the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, slamming the Grammys for having become “a series of hypocrisies and contradictions.”
