Southern African band Freshlyground were scheduled to perform the closing number at the Harare International Festival of the Arts. Shortly after their arrival, however, Freshlyground were rounded up and shipped straight back to whence they came. Four years ago they were banned from performing in Zimbabwe as a result of their video: Chicken to Change. The video is aimed […]
Okay – so President Zuma has now officially entered himself into the ‘unofficial’ competition known as , ” World Leader Most Capable Of Insulting The Population’s Intelligence” . This guy really doesn’t get it, does he? The media has been awash with non-stop criticism about the obscene amount of money being thrown into Zuma’s Nkandla […]
While local taxi operators desperately scramble to update their tech in a quickly changing industry, their faults are being exposed more and more in mainstream media. Like this one in Business Day.
How often do you hear someone say something outlandish and justify it with the right to freedom of expression? The new Secrecy Bill in South Africa does make this somewhat challenging for media houses and journalists who have views that don’t 100% support the ruling party. For all of you who agree with the likes […]
Footage from the cellphone of a boy who died on the South Korean ferry, in which 300 students either died or are missing, has been released by his father.
I’m not sure if you know this, but the Mount Nelson Hotel (or, the Nellie, as we like to call her) likes to reward South Africans for the hard work of living in such a beautiful country by offering specials that apply to SA residents, only. And they’re a flipping steal.
Nymphomania, for those of you who do not know, does not specifically refer to the insane and uncontrollable desire for sex. It’s quite gender-specific actually. In the late 19th century, Nymphomania was a mental-illness diagnosed to woman who had what would by todays standards just be a regular sexual appetite. So what would happen is […]
Hello ladies. Winter is coming, and you’re digging your coats out from the back of the cupboard. But you’ve noticed something – over the course of the summer you seem to have picked up a few extra garments, and now you’re in a bind with space. Double problem: you don’t want to give any of your stuff away to make room. So what do you do?
Tomorrow is a public holiday, which means that you may well be treating tonight as a Friday. Which is to say, you might not be treating it very well. For goodness-sake, the new phone that you forked out for barely has the protective film off the screen, and already you’re flirting with the idea of smashing it on the bar floor. Don’t be that friend that other friends can “only contact through Facebook for now.”
Colton Burpo is a special child. At the age of 4 his appendix burst and doctors told his father Todd, that his toddler would not survive. Did we mention that the Burpo family are devout Christians? What happens next is one of those things that would make Richard Dawkins pretty agitated and has the Bible […]
Aeroplane travel. Most of us safely assume that because planes have been built by ENGINEERS and that pilots have spent a million hours completing flight school that we must be in good hands. Right? Actually what happens in the cabin of an aeroplane is not always as sanitary and efficient as you may think. There […]
The NBA‘s Clippers Team owner, Donald Sterling, no longer owns his own team. Shame. NBA commissioner Adam Silver made this call and banned poor old Donald from his own team because apparently Donald is racist and Adam is not. Let us explain: Sterling made some pretty outlandishly racist comments, which were then recorded and published […]
Do you see what’s happening with the weather today? Take a look. Take one damned good look. It’s gone to hell in a handbasket, and there are only a few decent days left. A dozen real stunners, if we’re lucky. You have to make those guys count – in that spirit we’ve put together this […]
If you haven’t read it yet, now might be the time to do so. Jade Mitchell’s blog received some serious attention last week when she posted a scathing observation about Capetonians and their unwarranted sense of superiority towards themselves and their city. Titled “Go F***ck Yourself Cape Town” , the piece details an array of […]
A local clothing and apparel company called Dranged (do you think they know they spelled that wrong?) leveraged the awesome power of social media last week to promote their brand. Except that they used a convicted hate crime murderer, and they seemed pretty chuffed about it.
Pinot Noir – two words you’ve been hearing a lot, lately. The delicate grape has enjoyed some serious attention recently, and with the likes of Ard Matthews spouting these sorts of statements wherever he goes, we’re hardly surprised: “I’m convinced that Pinot Noir is one part heat-sensitive grape and 99 parts angel blood. It is the perfect blend between rosé and red, which means it can and must be drunk as often as possible, where possible, if possible.”
Fair Cape have been vibing with 2oceansvibe Radio for a while now, and we want to give you the chance to win big with the @faircapedairies.
What we have here is your standard mind-blowing, face-melting, earth-moving prismacolor colour pencil drawing of LeBron James. Did we mention it’ll blow your mind? It’ll blow your mind. Check some of artist Heather Rooney’s other work below. [Source : Mashable]
Wowaweewa! Would you just look at that! Golly! Gosh! Remember when Andy Warhol painted Debbie Harry on an Amiga at the Commodore Amiga product launch press conference in 1985? That wasn’t the only artwork he produced on a PC, but it was assumed that the images were lost, until now.
The pre-designated search area for the missing flight MH370 has been covered, completely. By usual mathematical estimates, there is nowhere left to look. So what happens if we never find MH370? CNN has a good round up of scenarios, below. But first, a few videos to get you back up to speed. 1. It will go […]
An Australian warship called HMAS Darwin (obviously) has made a heroin bust worth R2,87 billion. Yassis, guys. That’ll do. They nabbed the ton of heroin from a smuggling boat off the coast of Kenya. The 46 sacks of heroin were hidden in amongst bags of cement. Darwin is taking part in the British-led Combined Task […]
Apparently as many as 36% of childless couples have only ever spoken about having (or not having) kids once, and 5% have never talked about it at all. In other words, it’s a completely snap decision for a lot of people, at least that’s according to a study from Middlesex University.
The new Springbok jersey was unveiled last night in Kaapstad. Asics are the new sponsors, so naturally they pumped out new jerseys. They new shirts will make their debut in June.
An attempted hijacking aboard a Virgin Australia flight bound for Bali has failed, with the plane successfully grounded by the pilots at the intended destination.
Oprah has forced her father and stepmother, Barbara Winfrey, out of their home, leaving them homeless. So naturally Barbara took the opportunity to drop the bombshell “insinuation that Oprah and Gayle are lesbian lovers.” Tickets! Tickets! All aboard the fun train! Here are our favourite bits from her interview with the Daily Mail: Stedman Graham […]
The launch of the e-ciagrette industry coupled with the legalisation of marijuana in multiple US states has catalyzed an explosion of innovation, and the people on point are in Silicon Valley. See that gallery? This is where marijuana vaporisers are at. Small, compact, and very efficient. But vaporisers aren’t exactly new, so what’s the attraction? […]
Mark Zuckerberg took 20 artists between three and four months to create. At least, that’s the case for the plastic version. The dev time for the actual version in operation was a little longer. Anyway, enough of the jokes. A wax replica of Mark Zukerberg made its debut in the San Francisco branch of Madam Tussauds yesterday.
Pei-Shen Qian is a Chinese artist accused of being part of a R349 million art swindle, and is still at large. On Monday a US court document listed the methods Qian’s network is alleged to have used to fool collectors and experts. The New York Times is calling it a “forgers manual.”
Hollywood was rocked in recent weeks with allegations that X-Men director, Brian Singer is one of a group of Hollywood executives that make up a predatory sex ring, targeting minors and new performers. But casting couch horror stories are as old as the Hills…
