I benefited from apartheid and other fairy tales

Last week an enterprising duo started a campaign aimed at convincing whites to fork our R150 for an uninspiring black T-shirt proclaiming “I benefited from apartheid”. I won't be partaking.

The CIPC must be the biggest frustration known to man!

Having had the misfortune of dealing with the old Registrar of Companies in Proes Street in Pretoria many times as a business owner.

Let's face it...

Under the current government we have no plan and no future.

Addicts and rehab.

I had an altercation last week with one of these rehab gurus with a place of safety and serenity for drug addicts.

Struggle credentials and other fairy tales.

After reading this heart ripping rendition of some poster on the virtues of uMama, aka Winnie Mandela, I got caught up in the issue of her “struggle credentials”.

Cell-in-soup and other fairy tales

So, I obviously stirred up a bunch of angry hornets trying in vain to convince me that their brand of science is indeed the real thing.

Religion VS Atheist Unplugged!

I am not a Christian but found my peace with the Messianic branch of Judaism where all of my burning questions surrounding the traditional form of Christianity were answered.

The government is useless and without getting rid of them though expelling them at the ballot box is merely entrenching the perception of the poor that there is a magical way out of their circumstances.

Will this be a crime deterrent?

Having been a crime survivor after by being shot three times in my own house, I know that justice is rarely served.
