The police whore's heart

Currently, in the police, blame is being passed around like wives at a swingers' convention. First (and still continuing), Riah Phiyega's water treading at the Farlam commission

Reality VS Culture

I recently read a fantastic book about the experiences of a jewish American reporter on the crime beat in Tokyo, Japan.

Justice Zuma Style ...

I recently wrote an article - Shower with a friend ... - in which I mused about Jacob Zuma’s call for a cleansing ceremony.

Shower with a friend ...

To Jacob Zuma: Stop trying to be a spiritual father of sorts. You are not qualified; not intellectually, not philosophically and certainly not morally.

Richard Nixon, Jacob Zuma and the ANC ...

Nixon was arguably the most paternalistic president of the United States in recent history. He didn’t really have a clear understanding of the legal frameworks he was bound to.

My father, my country

None of us can ever know what really happens inside another. Especially in a country as divided as ours.

Musings on the madness of gender equality

God knows, I resisted this new social order, the one where both genders would be equal in all respects, but when it became clear that this madness was here to stay, I sat down to think.

Underneath it all...

Old structures have simply been replaced with more of the same, albeit with different names.
