South Africa is not running around with the best reputation at the moment and it’s not very hard to see why everyone is talking about us in a not very rose-coloured light.
It seems the students behind the removal of the Cecil John Rhodes statue aren’t going to rest after that success. Next up it’s Max Price who is coming under fire.
Rousing words indeed from Sizwe Mabizela, the Rhodes University vice-chancellor. Perhaps not so much if you happen to be a politician in our country, however.
Rhodes is gone, and not without a fair share of drama attached. What about the rest of the statues? Who do we listen to about the delicate subject?
Sometimes, laughter really is the best medicine. It’s healthy to be able to laugh at serious things. And wouldn’t you rather be laughing than sitting like a grumpy grouch in your rocking chair?
Rhodes is falling, so hopefully UCT students can resume classes ASAP, but clearly not without a little help from the SAPS and some Casspirs.
This will come as absolutely no surprise to anyone, especially if you’ve been reading the news of late. Here’s the latest defacing of South Africa’s history.
Mugabe is stirring the pot a little bit with what he has to say about Cecil John Rhodes being buried in Zimbabwe. What will his comrades say, I wonder?
Barack Obama, now into his 7th year as president, has had a few ups and downs. Here’s a happy story about one of his “up” moments.
Religion. It can be good, it can be bad. It causes war and destroys cities. It ignites faith when all else seems hopeless. But what about Scientology?
Here’s a controversial opinion that’s sure to ruffle some feathers, sent in by an independent writer. Feel free to comment.
This makes it very clear that some people still have major issues with something that we should not even be blinking an eye towards.
The defacing of statues has been a topic of hot debate the past few weeks and this latest incident is only going to add fuel to that fire.
We’re probably all in need of a little cheering up after today’s cricket. Let’s take a moment to appreciate the somewhat lighter side of the debates raging across the country’s campuses.
If you haven’t been wakeboarding or waterskiing yet, you should try it out. It’s like a full body workout and a fun day out for your buddies and you. Plus, it means you have to get out of town and explore our pretty country.
The Cecil John Rhodes protests are set to continue this week and we have found some of the reasons why people are pretty worked up over the matter.
The Rhodes Statue Issue has moved across oceans in the past few days – here’s what the rest of the world is saying about the poo issue and what’s going on.
The Great IVF debate continues, and now we can hear what Madonna has to say about it (probably whilst she wears a pair of D&G jeans…).
The latest actions of protesters at UCT have really riled some students and things on campus are really reaching a boiling point.
Imagine if, in six weeks time, you could catch yourself a lovely foreign supermodel, take it home to mum and dad, and show off our most famous South African tradition.
Things are heating up in Grahamstown as the outrage over the UCT Cecil John Rhodes statue has seen students at Rhodes University come together to fight what they say is racism on campus.
UCT Vice-Chancellor Dr Max Price has issued the entire student body and staff with a game plan regarding the Cecil John Rhodes statue issue.
I highly doubt Cecil John Rhodes ever anticipated being covered in human poo, yet it has happened. And these are supposed to be the educated kids.
The Elton/D&G debate is turning into a bit of a tennis match, and quite frankly it would be so much more entertaining with a bowl of strawberries and cream and a Pimm’s cocktail.
Hey, you think you had something to hide when standing at the altar? This fella found out the hard way that your wedding day isn’t the best time to be caught with your pants down.
D&G have offended a whole stack of people, and this time it is not because they have used the fur of baby foxes: they have said something about IVF kids.
UCT students took a break from staring at the mountain to gather in large numbers and demand the removal of one of the university’s iconic statues. Amandla.
Well, I guess this is becoming a thing now. Gone are the good old days with a bit of singing and dancing as students at UCT used some home-made ammo to show their dissent.
Oh, look, someone has publicly defended Our Dear Leader Jacob Zuma. Let’s have a look at what he has to say. Try not to get too heated on the topic – we’re all allowed our opinions.
The world easily loses its marbles. It often comes down to mob mentality, and even more so because people just don’t “get” what happened. This is what happened here.
