Thailand: the home of clear blue waters and bright colours.



Travelling to other continents, countries other states whatever you want to call it, can be pretty amazing. Getting a lifetime experience of tasting other food from different cultures, getting to know their languages, how they do certain things is just perfect.

Thailand is where I'm headed now. Can't wait to smell the fresh new air, meet new people, taste something different in terms of food, learn a little bit more about their culture, take a nice swim in the hot blazing sun in the clear blue waters. Thailand the home of bright beautiful colors, silk, and flea markets on rivers. The home of ancient secret temples and monks. I can not wait.

Rape is getting out of hand...!

Rape is getting out of hand throughout the whole world. It is amazing how a man can just rape an infant (for example a two year old etc) or a teenager or even a woman and get away with it. Rapist do 'what they do best' and get away with it, they commit these crimes and get bail instead of being punished properly. Not to get personal or anything I thing they should be killed 'period'.


Recently a teenager in Cape Town  was gang raped and killed brutally which left her mother torn apart and the community in shock. It left the whole country shocked to an extend whereby the government also got involved. But what everybody would like to see or what would bring closure to other people, is to see these monsters or rapists being punishing properly, in a way that would make one think before thinking of raping a woman or a child. 

It is time we take a moment to think about how our world is getting rotten. It is time we take a step back to say NO TO WOMAN AND CHILD ABUSE!... ENOUGH is ENOUGH!. It is time we work together as one to overcome this crisis.

Is South Africa ever going to change?



South Africa: Is in a mess!!!


South Africa is doomed!



In the past four years, the high rate of police officers being arrested for all sorts of crimes has been increasing dramatically. The HIGH rate of CRIME and murder cases in Cape Town, Cape Flats, is out of hand and kids are being brutally murdered each week and it seems as if no one is doing anything about it. The housing minister used a lot of money to buy an expensive piece of art (painting) and lied about it, instead he faked and claimed that he bought burgers worth R10 000. To think of it, that money could have been used positively, for example: so many kids in disadvantaged schools do not have proper learning materials i.e computers. Thousands of people are homeless and the money that could have been building RDP houses is 'buying burgers'.

Our president could have been considering building more proper universities and schools, not forgetting proper roads, instead of patching the roads and making the situation of pot holes even worse because those patches do not even last, instead they just make the roads bumpy and horrible. He wanted to buy himself a private jet worth millions of rand's while pupils in Limpopo (mostly) are being taught under the trees and do not have proper roads. Mrs Angie Motshekga, the minister of basic education has been giving excuses about why books  have not been delivered in so many schools In Limpopo. Pupils struggled for HALF A YEAR (six months) studying WITHOUT BOOKS!

Furthermore companies are closing down due to government not paying bills or not paying at all. This will lead into more people loosing their jobs and will lead into more strikes and more poverty. On the other hand, there is a high rate of deaths in public hospitals because patients are not receiving proper treatment and because there is just poor service delivery.

Are we ever going to change our behavior,  and does the South African community know what is really going on in their country? South Africa is in a mess and that... Is a fact!

Quake hits India!



Indian earthquake: leaving two people injured






























India was shaken by a shallow 5.4 magnitude earthquake on Friday that sent people fleeing into the streets in panic, damaged building and left two injured. The quake was shallow at depth of 11km. One house collapsed and cracks appeared in some buildings in a quake, which had its epicenter in Guwahati, the main commercial city of the mineral and tee rich state of Assam (News24).


It is so sad to see how some people in other countries have to live their lives. Not to be rude or anything but I am truly greatfull to be living in South Africa, there are no natural disasters, not that I know of. But I just hope those two people who got hurt recover soon. I t is so unfortunate that they had to go through something like that.

Now you are in deep trouble

Being hungry for money and fame can ruin your life!


The 'fake Mgqumeni' in court



Early this month a man claimed to be the late Maskandi singer Nqunu Mgumeni. He claimed that he was not dead he was kidnapped by zombies, he was then investigated and he turned out not to be him. He was then arrested and was charged with fraud . His real name is Sibusiso Gcabashe. Today (04. May.2012) there was drama at the Nquthu Magistrate court in Northern Kwazulu-Natal, as the man accused of impersonating Maskandi musician Kwakhe Mgqumeni Khumalo tried to escape. 

The accused jumped two rows of seats to escape from court. Police recaptured and handcuffed him. His lawyer told the court that Sibusiso Gcabashe is sick and needs medical treatment urgently (which is a lie by the way). Meanwhile, his previous legal Representative announced that he is withdrawing from representing the accused and attorney Johan Botha now represents him. The case has been adjourned to the 22 of May.

Some people play with fire and expect not to get burnt. Furthermore, Being supper hungry for money and fame can get you in deep trouble, rather work hard to succeed in life, than trying to work smart, taking short cuts and ending up nowhere. Like they say: 'Sometimes you will be walking in a dark tunnel then you start seeing a light and think that it is an opportunity, only to find out that, the light you saw was a truck, so be careful not to get hit'

Cricket South Africa (CSA) chief executive busted for corruption


Suspended Cricket South African (CSA) chief executive Gerald Majola suspended for corruption

                                                  Gerald Majola trying to lie his way out
                                                        (picture from www.google.com)


Suspended Cricket South Africa (CSA) chief executive Gerald Majola faced criminal probe and  civil claim for the repayment of illegal bonus allegedly paid to him by the Indian Premier League. A civil process will be launched by CSA. The Hawks have been to CSA and are in the process of their investigation, sports minister Fikile Mbalula told reporters. Judge Chris Nicholson announced last month that Majola had received R1.8 million rand in unauthorized bonuses from the IPL, as well as irregular travel expenses, in contravention of the companies act.  Nicholson recommended that Majola be suspended, the bonus money be recovered and that CSA undergo restructuring of their board and government process. http://www.iol.co.za

Why would you suspend a person who has committed crime instead of firing them straight up? They are just getting a slap on the wrist and that is it. Corruption has became part of our lives  to an extend where by in the end, it is going to be described as part of our culture. Majola was supposed to be fired so that he can learn and know that what he did was a criminal offence, and that bribery is also a criminal offence. And it is funny how they commit crime and try to lie their way out or how they can just get a bail and move on with their lives.
