If corruption has a home, its South Africa. For it's plainly impossible to give an adequate description of the corruption, embezzlement and corporate fraud pervading the country. The government parastatals are virtually out of control, bloated and infested with fraud, deceit, corruption, and abuse of power just as the masses are increasingly losing the beauty of their souls in exchange for...

"On the ANCYL pictures circulating...you have young women in ANCYL panties. Whose children are these that you have so grossly violated? Whose daughters are these whose buttocks you parade to promote your ANC? Your organisation has denied women the right to human dignity and equality. Do you have men in ANC underwear parading around your events too? So why is it...

I know we're all less willing to discuss death but trust me, you deserve this information as it is your right to know the major causes of the cessation of human lives around you. Besides, there's no point being uncomfortable with discussing death, we're all in a queue awaiting our turn, and like Plato said, "to fear death, my friends,...

Quit wondering why you have zero-luck wining your ideal date on dating sites. You're yet to receive the anticipated message from the dream guy or lady because your profile is just like every other profile. There's absolutely nothing remarkable about you. In as much as you're reluctant to admit this, it's a fact. You'll always attract unremarkable persons except...

Peradventure you've gathered lots of Rand and have wondered which is the most expensive streets in South Africa where you can live, here's what you've been looking for! Over the years, Cape Town's Atlantic Seaboard suburbs of Clifton, Bantry Bay, Bakoven, Llandudno and southern suburbs counterparts Bishopscourt and Constantia, as well as Sandhurst, Bryanston, Hyde Park and Atholl in Johannesburg...

Even when we out-rightly do not require people to trust us, we sincerely hope and want others to be trustworthy. For instance, we really hope to trust the insurance company when they say; "we've got you covered", we hope our politicians will keep their words, just as we're dismayed but still hope the police will do better when they over and over again...

Mandela Was Never A Christian. How? We'll tell you; just read on. A few days ago the world celebrated the life of a man who illustrated to the world and South Africa the core values of leadership, love, respect and togetherness. Mandela was honoured as established in 2009 in order to encourage South Africans to emulate, cultivate and sustain Mandela's humanitarian legacy....

It's high time we talked about this. What exactly is the cause of the senselessness on South Africa's roads? Why are there so many clowns eager to get killed on our roads? Yes, South Africa sucks but why not just speed to your grave alone than implicate others? What's up with all these huge trucks everywhere on our roads? Isn't it...

You're probably curious about how we got to know the dream cars of hijackers in South Africa. What will be the consequences of claiming we interviewed these hijackers? Certainly, South Africans who lost their car(s) will ultimately require us to reveal the identities of the car thieves we interviewed. Now imagine the burden of being bothered by 11,221 victims of carjackings between 2013 and...

How does one survive in South Africa? That question is been asked more often of late for obvious reasons - the country has gone mad in every possible way. Survival in South Africa has become something both citizens and visitors alike need to take seriously. Let's face the ugly fact - South Africa is doomed, and apartheid has been blamed...

Can a man scoop fire on his lap without his clothes being burned? Can he walk on hot coals without his feet being scorched? Those are words from the good book. The ancestors of white South Africans evidently neglected the admonitions embedded in those words when they refused to integrate with the black majority of the South African population but instead championed the...

It's no longer news that the reading culture in South Africa has degenerated to a point that is best described as pathetic. And, it is now almost generally accepted that the reading skills of many South Africans are poor despite the fact that a large portion of the population goes through the formal educational system. Only an insignificant part of...

Humans have a common urge and need of being reckoned with great deeds. Thus we are often times excited when a big name is associated with us just as Kenyans are thrilled with the name "Obama", and South Africans, with "Mandela". Obviously, nobody wants to talk about someone who's nobody. Celebrities are thus, always featured on our everyday news materials. As...

You've definitely seen numerous illustrators of the importance of health like the overused "health is wealth" expression. Such expression and other similar sentiments all indicated that Marcus Valerius Martialis was right when he opined that "life is not merely being alive, but being well." With that, and as often the case, it's wholly normal to seek medical attention whenever we suspect the...

Perhaps you've read or heard somewhere that South Africans are the world's biggest borrowers. Another unpleasant news huh? Well, regardless of our distaste of being a bringer of sad news, we'll, as necessity demands acquaint you with detailed albeit a brief tale of how South Africans earned the undesirable 'crown' as the world's biggest borrowers. A report tagged 'Global Findex...

It might interest you to question why there is no South African establishment tasked with the duty of evaluating the performances of South African universities. Well, South African legislatures are apparently more interested in such things as the increment of the president's salary than enabling strategic platforms that will stir a quicker development of important sectors in South Africa. Since there...

A hilarious divorce quote said; "I married Mr. Right. I just didn't know his first name was Always." Another, attributed to Helen Rowland caught a major attention as it opined that "When two people decide to get a divorce, it isn't a sign that they don't understand one another, but a sign that they have, at last, begun to." Thanks...

Check up the nooks and crannies of South Africa, you will be startled a thousand times at the complex range of drugs and numerous substances South Africans consume just to get 'high'. It's been said that most drug addicts depend on the substances they take to escape from their problems, stress, anxiety, and depression. However, if the innovation and skills South...

The political happenings in South Africa are usually like a dramatic piece that fascinates the world at large. This can partly be attributed to the apartheid factor that has undoubtedly brought South Africa to limelight while the world now acts as watch-dogs to bark off ugly crimes that are likely to stir their heads like the recent Xenophobia. To some degree,...

Apartheid as a word is almost the synonym of South Africa. For it is almost if not impossible to name the word without talking about South Africa. The word emanated from "apart-hood" which literally means "the state of being apart", and from 1948 to the mid 90's, apartheid represented a system of racial segregation in South Africa which was enforced...
