Talking out of both sides of your mouth...

This week there was an article in the national news paper that really grabbed my attention and got me thinking.

The headline reads:

MaNtuli's infidelity exposed...

"The star has reliably and independently learnt that MaNtuli spent the festive season away from her husband (who has multiple wives-inserted), after it emerged that she had committed adultery..."

I really thought that this was just me being funny (not ha ha) and reading a little to deep into the article so I asked some of the guys on the office to have a listen as I gave it a read and they thought it was ridiculous as well.

What this article shows is that people are happy to accept that: because you call the multiple woman that you are having adulterous relationships with your wife's it's ok! How ridiculous, let face up to the facts that it is supposed to be one man and one woman, one of the biggest problems that our amazing country is facing is the issue of HIV. How are we supposed to kerb this issue when those that are in extremely high positions of power have lost their "moral compass"

The article also states that MaNtuli's actions have offended the ancestors and a ritual of a goat sacrifice would be needed to appease them. The only person who is offended is God, and the sacrifice should be one of self-sactifice to that of physical pleasure!

Can you feel it?

Soccer world cup 2010 is just around the corner... With just 7 days to go it seems that the world is going to converge on our door steps. We are hearing reports of teams arriving and being escourted around the country to their base camps and everyone that is in the area trying to get a glimpse of their heros. What are we as south Africans doing? Have you got your flags on your mirrors or on your windows? The more time I spend in the road seeing people getting into the spirit of this whole thing makes me feel pretty proud to be a South African because ALL EYES ARE GOING TO BE ON US!! For the next month the world will be watching to see if the country that wasn't going to be ready to host the worlds biggest sporting event can pull it off.

Here are some crazy stats to get you "Feeling patriotic"...

3. An old airport was upgraded
