I’m reading a book set in South Africa in the early 1900s. It’s set on an ostrich farm so watch this space for a discussion on how ostrich feathers are harvested.
However, I’ve come across the word ‘marcelled’ in...

More than 4 people have been confirmed dead and many businesses belonging to foreign African nationals have been destroyed in the ongoing xenophobic attacs and it seems the south african government is not bothered. The looting of...

India has too much smog. In the city Lucknow there has been absolute smog that is fog and smoke. In the evening when the umpires went to inspect the field they saw visibility was almost nil. So the India v South Africa T20 match...

Leaders of other countries enter the Oval Office.
They are not going to meet a President of some dignity but a loud mouthed bully who takes advantage of anyone he can.
The leader of South Africa walked into the snake pit.

Well, many in cricket feel the T20 World Cup was set up so India win it, held in the US and the West Indies. India's control over world cricket is significant. England once held that power but now its them. The pitches have been...

Yet another unpredictable election saw South Africa increasingly turn their back on the corrupt ANC ruling party, top dogs since Mandela's release. Cyril Rhamaposa held on to the top job but only just, coalition seeing them join...

Last night was just a feast being back to the painting palette, or drawing board as they would say. We were welcomed to the first of the 2024 season of fun painting and socializing and then it was eyes down, thinking cap on and...

Both David Warner of Australia and Elger of South Africa ended their test career. At retirement Warner around 8700 runs in tests while Elger had 5400 runs. It is good decision to retire once cricketers start aging. They can spend...

I read an interesting article recently about a group in South Africa called the Black Mambas. This is an all-female anti-poaching group that has been in operation since 2013.
Operating in Olifants West in Greater Kruger National...

A match that promised a lot of exciting action. Yet ended in a lopsided contest.
South Africa won by a big margin of 134 runs vs Australia.
Quinton De Kock scored 109 of 106, Aiden Markram made a quick 44 ball 56.
In response to...

Lately, it seems every second film we watch has Morgan Freeman in it. Last night, we watched Invictus at the clubhouse and what a great film it was.
