The GrowCon (District 74 Toastmasters Mini Conference)

I thoroughly enjoyed the GrowCon held at the Johannesburg over the weekend of the 17th of October. Apart from the good people and good food I enjoyed the speakers that were there. A few points that stood out for me during the conference:Poh Kim Siong, DTM, International Director based

Caster Semenya debacle: Athletics South Africa has a lot to answe

I am still shocked about how Mr. Choene, the President of Athletics South Africa (ASA) handled the Caster Semenya debacle and am one of those calling for his resignation asap. Mr Choene doesn’t seem to understand the context of gender testing as it relate to elite athletes and his

When last did you see a well-behaved minibus taxi driver in South

I watched 3 matches at the Ellis Park stadium, opening match, Italy vs. Egypt and the closing match and must note a marked improvement in logistics throughout the Confederations Cup. The logistics of the final match felt like they were conducted with military precision. To think that it sounded

Am I the only one irritated by the Vuvuzelas at the Confederation

Please don’t get me wrong, I like the vuvuzelas played in moderation. What I find sickening is the continuous buzzing sound that goes on forever and ends up being too noisy and uninspiring. Pray that you don't end up sitting next to one of those over-enthusiastic blowers who

Chaos at Confederations Cup opening match

It took us two hours to get into the Wits University Park n Ride and ended up arriving during the disappointing opening ceremony. This is the worst I have seen coming from South Africa and hope they will have a better plan for the World Cup. Other issues

Zuma's 500k jobs make perfect sense

Everybody is concerned about President Zama’s promise of 500 000 jobs in a time when our economy is in a recession. I say give him a break; surely he has done his home work. After all he’s a president, isn’t he? Now as far as I recall he didn’t quite

There is something about The Comrades Marathon

My family and I went to Durban to support my twin sister (Tumi) who was running her second Comrades this week. We went in two cars so I only had to see my sister for the first time just after the halfway mark. At that point she was feeling

A new gift policy to address the S'bu story

Is the present gift policy in line with our new plan of getting rid of corruption? I guess not, because according to Jacob Zuma, Sbu Ndebele simply needed to declare the R1 million Merc and two cows for him to be on the right side of the policy. It is

Zille ANCYL Boxing Match - The score

Enough said about the political punches between The Helen of The Cape and ANCYL in the last few days. Much as I feel very strongly about how both sides have trampled over women's issues, i've decided to stand aside and keep scores just for fun. PS I deduct a

Comrades 2009 - Cheering my sister on

I'm a little distracted with my running but no sweat because after Comrades I will have enough inspiration to start again.My sister is getting ready to run her second Comrades and I will be in Durban and Pietermartitzburg to cheer her on. This time she will also be running
