Let’s Compare Fuel Prices Between UK and SA
This is in response to a video doing the WhatsApp rounds about why the SA Government is ‘ripping’ us off.

Comparing Neighbourhood Watches with Community Policing Forums
Understanding the distinction between a Neighbourhood Watch (NHW) and a Community Policing Forum (CPF) is critical to navigating local safety and civic action in South Africa.

Do Vegans and Rugby Go Together?
Fair Warning: As a vegan I have a bias…. As a vegan journalist covering any form of local sports in South Africa I am quite used to being given chicken (“That’s not meat!”) or fish for my snack which I politely decline and leave. I am quite used to bringing my own snacks along, eating …
No, The Victory Was NOT Because TJ is a Vegan
Unlike the old joke that goes like this; “How do you know someone went to Grey?

It is pure administrative failure.” He put it politely without pointing fingers at our present Lords (Ladies) and Masters. For once in your …

Why the ANC Will Win – AGAIN

Dam Level Reporting: Cape Town v Nelson Mandela Bay
One of the things that I have always guarded against is in making comparisons between Cape Town and Nelson Mandela Bay.
