In and around the pretty Republic...

These were worthy enough to bring to your attention...

Fur on the dashboard no longer in vogue..!

This dude in Durban has found a unique way to ensure no one breaks into his Audi TT. He has to get marks for creativity but when you read his name, choosing snakes to guard your car pale in significance to his name. Get this: The businessman is known as "3-cent Ohlangene".

This is pretty crazy. "An athlete from another country who sat next to Gerhard came to me afterwards and told me how shocked he was to see Gerhard openly celebrate the result with a big smile on his face". This was written by Roland Schoeman referring to Gerhard Zandberg the Captain of SA swimming after Schoeman placed 7th outside of the medals in his 50m freestyle final.

That is like Victor Matfield clapping if Puke Watson was beheaded by a Loo-auki swinging arm...actually it isn't similar in any shape or form.

This will just blow your mind:

A school boy stabbed a fellow pupil to death with a sword at the Nic Diederichs technical high school in Krugersdorp on Monday morning, Johannesburg police said.

The matriculant, wearing a black balaclava over a face smeared with black paint, entered the school premises with the sword and stabbed and killed a boy just before school assembly,

Krugersdorp councillor Alex Raubenheimer said school children on the scene told him the boy was high on drugs and was dressed like Joey Jordison, the drummer of the band Slipknot."He said Satan told him to kill the children," said Raubenheimer.

Are you kidding me? This sounds like a newspaper editor's sick attempt to get online hits. The story just evades all belief. Wow wee...
