Weirdly, our first post about the General Election in the UK is not about Ed, David, Nicola, Nick or Nigel, but rather about a university student who has ascended nicely.
Here’s something you don’t see every day – people intentionally dumping helicopters into the ocean. So what exactly is happening in these pictures then?
This is not the kind of book you are going to read bedtime stories from, but I am sure it will make for some interesting reading.
Don’t lie… You know you have gone onto YouTube to watch one video and emerged seven hours and 837465billion cat videos later. We all have.
Robben Island is a huge part of our country’s history and hopefully this app will show the world a piece of it. Thank goodness for apps and technology.
It’s not every day you come across some giant prehistoric eggs, which is why this discovery in China has both scientists and dinosaur lovers very excited.
Residents of Noordhoek got more than they bargained for when they found a skull during a beach clean-up over the weekend.
South Africa is in the spotlight and it’s not a good one – we have the whole African continent on the verge of ganging up against us because of a few pig-headed individuals.
As more and more statues live in fear of being accosted throughout the country, the truth behind the people who should be protecting them comes out.
There’s a massive chance Mahatma Gandhi never so much as hurt a fly during his life, yet he is the latest person to feel the brunt of The Statue Issue.
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?
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?
The whole Rhodes issue really gets me heated, so bear with me, as we are all allowed our opinions. But seriously, he’s dead. He is no longer doing anything bad.
Oh yes please history. I just adore being reminded by The Facebook of the good old days when I was thinner and younger and had less wrinkles.
I think it’s safe to say the world should be afraid of sequels. Not many are as good as the first and they leave us wishing for that time back. Let’s cross fingers for this sequel…
Oooh, some Argentines have discovered a secret Nazi hideout in the deepest, darkest jungle. Is Hitler’s love child merrily living there?
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 Olympic Games are so much fun – we get to watch from the safety of our homes or the pub and marvel and the newly built structures. Here’s the post-mortem though…
The man who was the world hide-and-seek champion from 2001 until 2011 wasn’t always an evil, murderous man. Jokes, of course he was. Here are some pics of the younger Osama.
Fans of rock ‘n roll music rejoice – a new treasure trove of previously unheard Jimi Hendrix guitar magic has been made available. The gift that keeps on giving.
Everyone has their own idea of fun. Mine doesn’t involve searching the world’s oceans for sunken warships but Paul Allen has struck the motherload with his latest finding.
This makes any mistakes we make on a day to day basis seems almost fine. Because, hey! At least we were not making light of Nazi Germany.
The list of places I would not want to end up locked inside has Auschwitz right up there with the best of them. I imagine the president of Rome’s Jewish community might agree.
While there remains controversy regarding the brutality of his methods, there can be no denying that Shaka Zulu knew how to organise a good scrap. Here are his finest military moments.
The queen of fashion and scent, Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel, had another pastime whilst she worked on her perfumes – being a spy for the Nazis. Who would have thunk? Definitely something interesting to add to high school history lessons.
