Here's an interesting letter recently submitted to a Nigerian newspaper. The writer has recently visited SA and is stunned at the level of infrastructure there. His/ her interpretation of the reasons appears to be frank and without any hidden agenda. It kind of reminds me of a quote by Carl Sagan: When you make the finding yourself - even if you're the last person on Earth to see the light - you'll...

This is Stormy (niece - brother's daughter) in the clothes she got from Aunty Lisa. She insists that it isn't a princess dress, but a queen dress!

Before we know it she will be grown up. She has a wonderful sense of style and loves...

Today, the president of Athletics South Africa (ASA) has been suspended for lying about his involvement in the case. In fact, South Africa's Olympic governing body, Sascoc, disciplined the entire board, and particularly Leonard Chuene, ASA chief....

'Bout time. This whole saga is such an embarrassment. I believe the ANC doesn't give a crap really after the way it attacked everybody and supported this tool but it's us ordinary South Africans who have to live with the shame. This suspension would not have happened without the international IOC putting pressure on the ANC. I guess WWIII fizzled out before it got started. I wonder what Houtkop Malema...

Honestly, I don't know how you guys cope in South Africa. The councils couldn't be bothered to collect from non-payers (townships mostly) so they hit the easy marks, that's you whitey (and some blacks) - yes, because they know where to find you, is why - in suburbia. I need so I take , goes the black man credo. No need to go into detail why these increases are happening since you know why. Look around....

Most Catholics had no idea, and would have disapproved in the strongest possible terms. They, of course, paid the price. Today of all days, let us consider that eighty per cent of the laws to which we are subject are made by a supranational body which meets in secret and publishes no Official Report. A foreign power maintains a huge military presence here, accountable to nobody. We have no intelligence...
