The minister to the Presidents office said in a interview or where ever he was speaking from that whites want to see the 2010 Soccer world cup fail.
I think I know why. While the country has no decent communications system, no white person can find a job because of the failed BEE and AA [...]

You’d probably want to read the first links since its South African. The ice is breaking.
 
Don’t read this if you want The Times, South Africa - 6 hours ago SOMETHING awful happened between 10 July and 24 July this year. It affects all of us and red danger lights [...]

 
Another farmer shot in the murderous South Africa. Does anyone care? Its almost becoming daily news, as if people dont really notice anymore that a farmer who has a family and a life was shot in cold blood by a bunch of animals.
Iol reports
A rose farmer was shot and wounded by robbers at Wallmannstal near [...]

Its been almost 11 years since I’ve last played Duke Nukem. Actually that was the first game I have ever played that was more than just blocks, circles and a bunch of other things that made you think you are playing a real game. Back then it was the best game ever, well for that [...]

When you go live in the bush for unkown lengths of time you need something that endures, some thing that wont break 1 month from starting to use it. They sell these pots in South Africa also known as a "potjiekos" pot. Its made of cast iron and weights quite a bit but its worth [...]

Bushcraft is the term used mostly in America , also known as long term survival skills. Basically living in the wilderness for long periods of time, instead of just trying to survive and get out of the wild bushcrafting is like running to the wild to escape whatever it is that poses a danger. For [...]

So Last night we went to the Cape Town Fashion week, the Black Coffee exhibition. We arrived there about 6pm and started taking photos of some well dressed fashion freaks, walked around for a few minutes and started wondering where the heck to go. There was a lounge but we just stood around acting like [...]

 
I am not sure if someone got stuck on the moon or maybe a experiment gone gone wrong but the South African Signal waiters or whatever they are called have received signals from space. It came from the middle of the milky way.
Actually the discovery was made by Indlebe Radio Telescope at Durban’s techonology universitey.
Apparently [...]

We here in South Africa love biltong. I could eat a kilo of biltong a day. Biltong can be stored and eaten long after you have made it. And the bonus it tastes even better than steak. Yep, i would choose a nice piece of biltong anyday above steak.
Now we here in South Africa face [...]

 
When you go somewhere, hiking, climbing a mountain or whatever it is you do, you should check before the time on Google maps, study the place to see potential dangers and basically just see where you are. If you know where you are its not as easy to get lost. After all that is what [...]

This is my opinion.
A gps is a great tool to have but I dont have one and I really dont need one. The reason for this is nature provides all the things we need to determine where we want to go. If you know where you are you can easily find your direction using the [...]

As photographers we usually scan our surroundings and hope to find something that we can capture. We are constantly seeking new concepts and ideas to take out with our photography jobs or hobbies.
Many times we go to parks and spend the day with our families and really dont miss a single moment, we take all [...]

Sometimes we think if we blog a few 100 posts in a row that traffic will increase immediately. While that is true in a sense it doe snot always apply.
Most search engines scan the homepage of most blogs daily but it does not scan the rest of the site and if your site goes [...]

This might be my opinion only but I dont think you really need a compass. In the first place its way easier to see where the sun comes up and where the sun sets. The only time of day you really might need a compass is in the middle of the day when the sun [...]
