I wrote yesterday about how depressed I was about the apparent lack of the rule of law in our fair land. Well today I am feeling a little better. The reason: The constitutional court has said that President Jacob Zuma’s decision to extend Chief Justice Sandile Ngcobo’s term of office is unconstitutional.

South African Rugby Union chief executive, Jurie Roux, was totally pissed off yesterday when the media asked him whether or not the Springboks are actually at some secret training camp, in preparation for the World Cup.

You’re going to love this story. Remember the guy who spilt his drink on the President during the Durban July last year? Well he’s been found guilty of assault.

As you are well aware, the last few days have been somewhat of a nightmare for the many who’ve been stuck in cars along the N3 and Van Reenen’s pass. We are simply not used to snow and were certainly not prepared. But it wasn’t all doom and gloom, as this video illustrates.

It seems that there truly isn’t a day goes by where some politician is caught on the take, then denies it, then blames the media, and then gets off. Monday was Malema’s turn and Tuesday Was Bheki’s. His mate Nathi got to explain just why the chief needed to spend 1.498 million Rand on plane trips.

My friend Lara is a vet in training and spent most of this month putting her hands in animals. Whilst out fiddling with animals in the Kruger Park, she noticed that even the parksboard is trying to cash in by introducing various ass-flavoured products.

After a brief leaked appearance on Tuesday, the trailer for “”The Amazing Spider-Man” is back online for eager movie-goers to see. If you thought the crappy version of the franchise should never have been made, like I do, you’re in for some well-deserved relief: it looks quite good.

Every now and then it’s important to share news that makes one rethink the definition of the word “gross”. This was the first word that came to mind when I read about this latest medical marvel: the first time a fully formed nipple has been found on a woman’s foot.

A person of limited brain activity has attacked media man Rupert Murdoch with a cream pie as the eighty-year old was being questioned by MPs at a parliamentary committee hearing on the ongoing phone hacking scandal. The man’s name is Jonnie Marbles and he’s hilarious.

Research In Motion (Rim), the makers of BlackBerry, has been severely criticized for having two CEOs, but apparently there’s really only one man who wears the pants in the ever-deteriorating domestic situation that is the Rim boardroom: Mike Lazaridis.

So it’s only a matter of time before someone makes a movie out of the whole debacle. This is what it would look like.
