Donald Trump is many things. Once man’s tycoon is another’s cantankerous old curmudgeon. Our opinion of the man falls somewhere in between those two markers. Trump’s latest obsession is taking a permanent marker to negative press.
When you’re protesting for better working conditions, or any working conditions at all, really, it’s important to be specific in your demands. Well done to this gentleman, who appeared in this photograph on the front page of 13 April’s Argus. Be sure to read that sign he is holding.. The photograph related to a story […]
I was more than chuffed to see 2oceansvibe Weathergirl Gabriella Demetriades featured in the latest GQ Model Search. You’ll also remember Gabs from that steamy Woolworths re-jeans ad which did the rounds a while back. Good times. But now we need to focus on the fact that Gabrielle has a chance of being the next GQ feature […]
The Sunderland chairman, Niall Quinn, has revealed that the club is in the process of being sued by a fan. The fan was injured when a stray shot hit him in the face while watching the team train a couple of years back. Apparently the Djibril Cisse strike knocked the fan clean out.
Midway into March Silverstreak reminded us of one of the beautiful things about the English language – the numerous emotive properties created by combining words not often combined, especially so in central African news reports. Now, a Malawian man has been killed by too much “sexual sweetness” while having sex with a hooker.
In a much anticipated move, the social media giant has finally unveiled its next step in advancing the power of journalism through social networking. It’s described as a central resource tool for journalists and the public to share, interact and find sources on the site. Try and stop us now Julius, Jimmy, Floyd and the other haters out there.
There are conflicting reports floating around on the interweb regarding whether or not the highly anticipated short-list of eligible applicants for the Proteas Head Coach role will contain the name of the legendary Gary Kirsten. It appears he wants the position and has confirmed Cricket South Africa’s interest too.
We all watched that television series Full House when we were younger. We all loved it and it was one of the funniest and happiest times of our young television lives. The twins were, well, adorable and made us laugh out loud quite regularly, but they might need to explain this one.
A report in The Star newspaper has revealed how a Teacher has had to resign because he was caught puffing on the old knowledge cabbage with a pupil. It’s no big secret that South African schools have had problems with drug use over the years, but this is an upper class school, so it was probably good stuff.
The new platform, which is still currently in its design phases, will allow users to create the perfect girlfriend who will allegedly write on your Facebook wall, possibly tweet sweet nothings at you and keep your virtual happiness in mind using other social media platforms.
The government is going to be launching its own printed propagand… err newspaper, and it will be published by the head of government communications, Jimmy Manyi. Yes, Jimmy who doesn’t like coloured people that much. Basically we shouldn’t get our hopes up and expect much investigative journalism.
This will probably rate right up there with their worst ever experiences together as grandfather and grandson. It certainly wasn’t one of those happy days like you’d see on adverts or in the movies. Although, mind you, I suppose it did start out as an innocent canoe trip which was probably fun for a while.
So Heritage Auctions sold a 1997 edition of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone for $29, 875. A book that you can remember the release of just sold at a rare books auction. You’re Old now. If you can’t remember 1997, please crawl back into the womb.
At the beginning of this month a story caught our eye that almost seemed too shocking to be true. We can now happily report back to you that the lunacy surrounding these pricey renovations has been met with trepidation by Public Works Minister Gwen Mahlangu-Nkabinde, and for the most part, been put on hold.
We wrote earlier in the day that The New Age had engaged in a small but embarrassing bout of mistaken identity, having posted a picture of world renowned fashion mogul, Karl Otto Lagerfeld, above a story regarding the appointment of one Karl Otto, esq., to one or other lofty position at the Maritime Authority of South Africa. Enjoy the update after the jump.
A report about a month ago attributed that South Africa indeed stared a water crisis directly in the eye. Experts told the inaugural South African Water and Energy Forum in Johannesburg that we even face the possibility of chronic water shortages as early as 2020. Now Eskom-esque tariff hikes loom too.
Don’t know if you caught The New Age‘s recent article about our new pirate tracking satellite service. It seems they believe that fashion designer extraordinaire, Karl Lagerfeld, is heading up the SA Maritime Safety Authority. Something I was unaware of. Follow the link for more.
About a week ago a video featuring an Australian victim of bullying, literally body slamming his much skinnier bully into the concrete, did the rounds on the interweb. Casey “The Punisher” Heynes received immediate hero status and has now had his say on events that led up to one of the more memorable fight backs in bullying history.
A grade 1 teacher from the Orchards Primary School just outside Centurion in Gauteng has been suspended by the schools governing body after pupils claim she called them k*****s. She now also faces a disciplinary hearing next week. Apparently she also called them “black monkeys”. But, has she been levelled with false accusations?
A 52 year old woman was arrested in the middle-class suburb of Kenilworth, Cape Town, for dealing in drugs on Monday. She is not alone in her entrepreneurial endeavors. It seems a growing number of grannies are entering the underworld and deceiving the greater public of their criminal tendencies.
At long last, Microsoft has taken their iPod-but-worse MP3 player, the Zune, out behind the shed with a shotgun. Microsoft announced that they would stop making new versions of the music/video player due to “tepid demand.”
Take a deep breath and don’t panic. It’s nothing to be alarmed about and this is why we have eased it in on this beautiful Tuesday afternoon in Cape Town. Unit two actually shut down yesterday already and we thought we’d now explain why you might see it puffing the odd bit of steam from time to time.
Clearly not satisfied with the launch of their English magazine, Inspire, which first appeared about nine months ago, and included a feature called “How to make a bomb in the kitchen of your Mom”, al Qaeda’s media arm has followed up with a magazine for women, titled “Al-Shamikha”. Apparently the editorial team will be mixing beauty tips with lessons in jihad. No spice.
You may or may not have noticed the Sunday Times front cover yesterday. The headline was gripping and revealing. One usually sees this when tabloids have a secret they’re unable to keep. This time however, tabloids aside, the headline had every right to froth in its very large font. Behold: “Shaik In Mosque Punch-Up”
Links between these two high rollers have been gossiped about and reported on before. It’s no big secret that shortly after his 2006 arrest on rape charges, JZ made a shimmy over to Tripoli for five days where he met with Colonel Gaddafi. Now JZ and the Colonel have had a little phone conversation.
Top management in our extremely effective police force were asked yesterday in Parliament how they happened to lose 20 429 weapons. Click through for facepalming disappointment.
You’ve probably heard the news that Justin Bieber appeared on an episode of CSI. What they didn’t tell you is that he looks exactly like a lesbian who got punched in the eye after losing a game of pool, and that he gets killed by the CSI cops. We’ve got spectacular visuals for both – after the break.
We’ve covered a bit about the local Clifton Shores series which is currently being filmed in Cape Town. But we haven’t told you that the villa the cast are staying in, is also available to you at 2oceansvibe Villas! Follow the link to check out the Clifton Shores villa on 2oceansvibe Villas!
If you, like me, weren’t able to get to a television for whatever reason this weekend, you may have tuned in and listened to the blokes on the couch on 2oceansvibe Radio and their alternative commentary. You may also have heard them speaking in awe about the cult-like properties of the “Bearded One”. Here is his story.
We’re so proud of the 2oceansvibe Weathergirls and the way they’re quietly destroying the globe with their beauty. Take for example our very first Weathergirl, Genevieve Morton, who finds herself in the pages of the US Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue! I was paging through the latest issue on my iPad (thanks Digicape) and got such […]
