Three years ago I discovered a little gem. Like many, I must’ve passed it a million times oblivious to what treasure lay within. The place is Kafe Karahi, and the substance of my addiction, bunny chows!
Being a Durbanite, a bunny chow is quite literally the Holy Grail of any curry spot in SA. Soft, fluffy hollowed out bread loaves filled with deliciously mouth watering full flavoured curry. Each time you ...

There is a widespread belief that reality show fame can help you into the music industry, but, chances are, if you don’t convince the public or the judges, and you get eliminated from the competition, you probably wont stand a chance of getting a record deal elsewhere.Even though Kelly Khumalo was eliminated as the second runner-up in the Gospel Star Competition in 2004, she was already a winner with one of ...

Londoners don’t really like to speak to each other!When I was in Sun City and drinking with my Kudu, it wasn’t long before a lady took the seat next to me. She was really intrigued about my drinking partner. But people in a sunny country are just a lot happier! I feel people should say YES ...
