CD review: Lavuvuzela - In Stereo
Everything about this album is clever in an articulate sense of the word. Creatively manufactured pop by the name of Lavuvuzela, in line with the zeitgeist and subtely indicative of where these lasses hail from.
To the rest of the world who don’t yet know that a vuvuzela is the plastic trumpet blown at soccer games in South Africa, they surely will in a few months times! Until then, the name sounds effort ...
Cross-cultural dating
Shakespeare asserted that ‘the course of true love never did run smooth’. In A Midsummer Night Dream, we see an ultimatum, a magic potion, a series of mishaps and some confusion before harmony is restored and the lovers are paired as fate would have it.
Some three centuries later, Shakespeare’s ideas, stories and poems are still relevant and quoted the world over. His opinion that love doesn’t run smoothly ...
Celebrating Burns night the Saffa way
Here’s to the whiskey, the women and the haggis!
You’d be forgiven for thinking that this was a toast between men in suits in a gentlemen’s club. In fact, the Scots have been toasting each other this way for over 200 years in honour of Robert Burns, Scotland’s best loved bard.
Scotland celebrates the beloved poet each year with a week-long festival in his home county of Ayrshire which then culminates in a ...

Canada Water Kerk
Ons het ontstaan uit die bediening van die London City Presbyterian Church, 'n gemeente wat saam met die Gereformeerde Kerke in SA onder Suid-Afrkaners in Londen werk.
Baie van ons lidmate woon in Canada Water en het die behoefte gehad vir 'n goeie kerk in hulle omgewing. As gemeente het ons vir amper 8 maande daaroor gebid en saam planne gemaak totdat ons aan die einde van September 2006 besluit het om d ...
Christmas cheer in UK
One thing that is done well in the UK, is Christmas… the lights, the shows, the pantomime! I've been fortunate enough to win some tickets to see Aladdin at the local theatre and I will be taking some South African friends. Since winning I have been trying to educate them on the humour of the pantomime, but this has been an uphill battle! Hopefully once they have seen the show, they will be converted! Chris ...

Climbing Kilimanjaro to help orphaned kids
A team from the Canary Islands will attempt to combat the highest mountain in Africa this month, to raise funds for the building of a village in South Africa for orphaned children. The project, propelled by the Pearly Grey resort in Tenerife – owned and managed by South Africans – will hopefully begin building the village by the end of the year. “The spread of AIDS in Africa, and in particular SA, has resul ...
Camping on the Gower Peninsula, Wales
One of my good friend’s birthdays falls around the May Bank holiday weekend - and it has become a tradition that a group of us always go camping. Good weather in the UK is never a sure bet, but the tents and barbeques come out in anticipation!
This year we decided to explore Wales - off to the beautiful coastline of the Gower. The Gower Peninsula is located in the south of Wales and is about an hour and a ...
CLAIRE VAN DEN HEEVER in China
LIFE IN SHANGHAI is busy. Twice a week my morning begins with a teacher arriving at my apartment, to give me and my boyfriend a three hour Chinese lesson. We spend part of the class learning how to use new vocabulary, part of it (slowly) reading characters, and the vast majority going off topic and chatting in broken Chinese. In China, learning the language is the fastest way to feel like you’re being somew ...
COOL JOBS Hairdresser
Carin ViljoenDoyer & Doyer Hair DesignHow did you get into hairdressing? Is it something you have always wanted to do? I had a midlife crisis at the tender age of 25. After being a slave to the corporate monster for seven years I was craving something more meaningful and something that had a real impact on people’s lives. I needed a creative outlet. I always had a natural talent for hairdressing. I just ...

What is your art background?Apart from spending most of my youth copying the work of the master that is ‘Jim Lee’, I have no real background in art or design. My high school art teacher in matric told me I was useless and for a long time I stopped drawing. It was after too many nightshifts working security in London with nothing else to do but doodle that I got back into it. I ...
