DANKFEES 2009
DANKFEES - 25 - 27 September 2009
Hoekom almal na die Dankfees stroom keer op keer bly ‘n raaisel... dit mag dalk die Suid Afrikaners se gemeenskaplike liefde vir die trippel B (biltong, braaivleis en boerewors) en ‘n groot makietie die aand wees wat dien as ‘n defnitiewe trekplyster. Die jongspan baljaar en neem deel aan items soos boeresport, springkastele, wimbuks, pyl-en-boog, golf, en touchies. Ma en ...
Dentist - Dr Amir Kamburov
How hard did you study to become a dentist?Between ’91 and ‘98 I spent my life at varsity, slogging away with no social life. As you can see from my picture, during these years I lost most of my hair! The best part for me was the end, when I successfully graduated! The worst part was that after a long day I had to go home and internalise the enormous volumes of text (in Latin...) about the profession. I sti ...

DANCE MUSIC from Birth to Rebirth
IT WAS THE LATE 1970's. The city, Chicago. Every weekend, glistening bodies let off huge pulsations of energy at the city’s night clubs. After all, much of the world was hooked on disco dance music. The repetitive beats and bass, synthesizer-driven melodies and sexy vocals seemed to unite club patrons everywhere. Yet unknown to most in the 70s, something far larger was in store for these unique musical prer ...
DISTRICT 9 Movie Review
Apartheid. Xenophobia. Illegal aliens. Segregation. Conflict. Rights violations. Words that could easily be used to describe our country’s most recent past, however what they’re referring to is a film that arguably could be one of the biggest in South African cinematic history, District 9.Produced by Peter Jackson, the man behind everyone’s favourite dwarf and elf adventure, the Lord of the Rings, and direc ...
DEAR READER Replace Why with Funny
What a blessed voice lead songstress Cherilyn has, encased in this little album of international quality. ‘Replace why with funny’ is indeed an odd name for an album, and yet so is the name of the duo who call themselves Dear Reader Р as if addressing someone or acknowledging the listener as an engaged participant! You might not recognise the name at first, ‘cos this SA group used to go by the name of Harri ...

Submitting to the travel bug I did a six month stint in Dublin, working in a Spar, then spent the rest of the year in Michigan, USA at a summer camp. Studying at WITS University, doing a BA in English and Psychology, and then at WITS Technicon, studying Architecture took up the next few years of my life, until I started working for an ...

These areas both provide their own challenges, surrounded by tranquillity and natural beauty.If you wish to lear ...
DOES LUKE WATSON Deserve a Springbok Jersey?
Former Cheetahs coach, Peet Kleynhans, said that Luke Watson deserves at least a place in the Springbok squad. The loose forward impressed Kleynhans in Saturday’s Super 14 clash at Vodacom Park in Bloemfontein. The Stormers won 28-22.
The match did not produce fireworks, but the battle of the loose forwards was red-hot. It’s difficult to say who won the battle between Brüssow, Juan Smith and Hendro Scholtz ...

Die bulle se wille wandelings in Neeu Seeland
A few months ago, while still resident in the land of the Long White Cloud, a fellow SA expat invited me to join him on a 4X4 trip on the South Island of New Zealand. Now having been involved in the complete drowning of a 4X4 down under once already, I was a touch apprehensive! Nobody likes a wet spark plug! However Jo assured me (very politely) that ‘Die Bulle’ would be just fine…What this NZ road trip d ...
