Minister to the President tells how white people want to see the 2010 Fifa soccer world cup FAIL

 
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 [...]

The perfect survival cooking pot or for bushcraft

These pots are sold everywhere in South Africa and you can pick them up for as little as R60 from Checkers or most shops that sell braai equipment. They are quite heavy but really worth the money.
The reason for this is they last years. Whether you just want to go away camping or need to [...]

Do you really need a gps?

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 [...]

Do you really need a compass?

Without traffic there is no making money on the internet.

If you want advertisers for your site you must have traffic. Traffic is what drives the internet, yes traffic is the internet but what makes money is traffic, not a great design or how many people link to you. You can have a PR7 but if you dont have traffic its pretty much useless.
The first [...]
