Mpumalanga Traffic Cop Allegedly Beats Son’s Teachers, Gets A Warning
When two teachers entered Enock Sifundza’s home on Thursday morning to complain about his son’s behaviour at school, they probably didn’t expect to be held at gunpoint at beaten with a knobkerrie.

Probably The Most Important Thing You Will Read This Month
2oceansvibe had to turn down business from two different brands this last week. A lot of the haters out there don’t realise that. They don’t think it happens. It does. Constantly. That is why the lovers keep coming back here – because any exposure for any brand is genuine and they don’t mind the advertising. […]
The New Puma ‘Faas’ Range – We Like

Coca-Cola Drops Rooney – Wayne Rooney’s foul-mouthed tirade has cost him roughly R7 Million, as Coca-Cola have pulled their partnership with the Man United ginger-ninja. Rooney, a mere child at 25, was seen by millions screaming the F-word into a camera after scoring a dramatic hat-trick against West Ham. I can relate – once I […]

How Not To Win Elections #435 – Campaigning At Funerals
You have to give this guy some credit for thinking out of the box – posters tied to lamp posts are getting old. But choosing a funeral to tell everyone to vote for the ANC is just plain wrong. Especially if the woman in the front row just lost her husband and seven-year-old triplets all in one go.
The Vibe Party 2011 – Tickets 70% Sold Out
Nine days to go, my friends. And you how things happen here in Cape Town – everyone wakes up at the last minute. Last year’s party saw 50% of the tickets sold in the last three days, resulting in a lot of disappointment for a lot of people. With nine days left to go, and […]
The Vibe Party 2011 – No Tickets At The Door

Puma Social Club Comes To JHB
The last time I went to the Puma Social Club in Cape Town, I went head-to-head with Herschelle Gibbs – table tennis bat in my one hand, cold brewskie in the other. Hot babes all over my stick. Because that’s how you roll at the Puma Social Club. I’d kill to check out the one […]
The Grand Cafe And Beach Presents “THE VIBE” Party 2011

45% Off At V&A Puma On Tuesday 23rd!
One of the advantages of being in the Puma ‘stable’ is they do sometimes make the mistake of letting me invite my friends to shop for nearly half price. But they forget that this would include 60,000 2oceansvibers out there, like yourself. So, that said, move your ass and email 2oceansvibe@puma.co.za with your name and […]

THE FULL “SETH SONG” (AND LYRICS) BY I SCREAM & THE CHOCOLATE STIX
We’re pretty blown away by the response to the “Seth Song” we’ve been playing fairly regularly, over at 2oceansvibe Radio.

THE NEW AGE – NOT THE HIPPY KIND
You ever heard a blogger say, “You want impartiality? Read a newspaper”? Ja, well, if you want impartiality, don’t read a newspaper. At least, don’t read the New Age newspaper. What’s that?

TOAST – RIGHT NEXT TO THE HEN’S TEETH
It is a pity that successful breakfasts are so hard to come by in Cape Town. the two most important things, crispy bacon and hard toast, are still, clearly, too much to ask. The Muse and I made the fatal error of getting breakfast at the Waterfront on Saturday morning. Why were we not at […]

KAHN FROM THE PARLOTONES RESPONDS
Today brought a multi-coloured shit-storm in the form of an article written on 2oceansvibe to do with the possibly confusing music video made by SA band The Parlotones.

THE PUMA PHONE MAKES YOU A BETTER PERSON
And better looking, too. Didn’t you know? This sassy little individual has been released in Europe, and is on course for distribution in the US. Although, with A FRIGGING SOLAR PANEL CELL ON THE BACK (oh yeah!) you’d expect them to pump these babies to sunny South Africa in a heartbeat.

PUMA today launched an innovative solution including a “Clever Little Bag” to significantly reduce the amount of waste and CO2 emissions that traditional product packaging […]
DID SOMEONE SAY “WINTER?”
Very strange behaviour, if you did. I’ll tell you why. You see this morning I tried something new – I went for a 5km run. Which is weird, given that I’m known as a 4km specialist. It’s true, people often refer to me as “The Four Kay Specialist.” It’s either that, or they call me […]
A PRIVATE TRIBUTE TO ALEXANDER MCQUEEN
I did the right thing and bought a pair of the limited edition Alexander Mcqueen Puma’s the other day and they’re basically incredible. Have you ever wanted a pair of shoes inside your body more? Daddy’s new Alexander McQueen Puma’s… Pop Ya Collar would approve. It’s unfortunate that making love to shoes is illegal in […]
PHOTOS FROM “THE VIBE” PARTY
It’s quite fortunate that one doesn’t have to think too clearly when dealing with photographs, because my head is not in the correct space to entertain thought. For example these pics. You don’t have to THINK too much to decipher the fact that the angels at The Vibe party were smoking hot and the party […]
MY PRESIDENT’S A PIMP
“Not bad, not bad at all..” That’s what I said to myself as I watched this little music video by a local band, based in Mpumalanga. Their explicit song about Jacob Zuma starts off: “My prezident’s a pimp, without the pink suit, with an appetite to take a bite out of the forbidden fruit.” The […]

SPL!NG Movie Review: The Book of Eli (2010)
I know I’m stating the obvious here, but Denzel Washington is not Mr. T. They act, dress and talk differently… Mr. T carries that Mad Max era cool like someone before their time and while he’s been off the Hollywood scene beating Cancer and endorsing cooking gadgets in an apron, this could have been his […]

THE PUMA VALENTINES DAY CARD IS TOO AWESOME
God knows how much money Puma had to pay these football hooligans to sing a “poofter” song, but whatever the case it came out bloody brilliantly! You’ll recall the 1997 Billboard #1 hit song called Truly Madly Deeply by Australian Group Savage Garden. So take that song, but get it sung in the same way […]
ISTORE PLUMMETS AS DIGICAPE EXPLODES

GOOD MORNING, HEADLINES – TUESDAY!
Miranda Kerr – gone.. Miranda Kerr is Crouch, Hold, Engaged – One wonders why these are called “good” morning headlines, when we are dealing with such atrocities. Victoria’s Secret model, Miranda Kerr, has made a grave grave error and has accepted Orlando Bloom’s hand in marriage. “Bloody Awful” Morning Headlines is what we’re dealing with […]

SETH RUNS THE TWO OCEANS “MARATHON”
My skill-set is widely discussed and it’s a given that long-distance running comes as easy to me as horse whispering. It was for that exact reason that I accepted Runner’s World Magazine’s invitation to do the Two Oceans Marathon. They were clearly aware of the fact that I do the same course most weeks – […]
LET ME GOOGLE THAT FOR YOU
Those of you who have come across the wonders of Google may will be aware of the pain I feel when someone asks a question which Google can very easily answer. I don’t know if some people believe that Google only specialises in one field… maybe they used Google once, but that was to find […]

Sports Wrap with Chowgaps 3 + TV Times
Whoever said soccer was boring was obviously smoking something grown in my aged neighbour’s ceiling. In fact, I would go as far as to say that I’ve never before been so entertained by a sport than in this past week.

BOLT BOWLES GAYLE FOR 22 RUNS
Whilst I was hoping to see footage of the fastest man in the world, Puma’s Usain Bolt running six runs for a normal persons two, I don’t necessarily mind this latest intelligence we have received.

PUMA AND ADIDAS KISS AND MAKE UP AFTER 60 YEARS

THE 2009 GULLWING-AMERICA 300 SL PANAMERICANA
There is nothing quite like a sexy mouthful of a car name. Like my personal favourite car and car name, the 1952 Ferrari GT 250 California. Just saying it feels like you might even own the car. Say “GT 250” out loud now. Do it. “GT 250” – feels good, doesn’t it? Now say “1952 […]

IT’S NOT ABOUT US – IT’S ABOUT YOU
CURRENT SPONSORS Whilst regular advertisers include everyone from Woolworths to the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate, 2oceansvibe’s target audience is perhaps best defined by it’s sponsors.
