It is said that a picture paints a thousand words, I’ll let these two describe the competency of the morons in charge at one of  our municipal departments.

Anni Dewani an open letter…

Here’s the rest Continue reading “Anni Dewani an open letter…”

Nice try but no Kruger Rand

Some of you may remember my post of March 2nd in which I promised Sepp Blatter a Kruger Rand if our ‘rapid bus network’ was completed by Christmas. It was supposed to be ready for the World Cup!

My exact words were;-

We were promised a ‘rapid bus/rail network’ , ha ha ha ha, :) if the lanes are ready by Christmas I will personally send Uncle Sepp a Christmas card and a Kruger Rand!

Here’s Kempston Road (a vital main thoroughfare) this morning.

Where’s Santa?

Those chaps over in The States responsible for intercepting missiles and such like are currently tracking Santa’s progress. They apparently detect the heat from Rudolph’s nose and using their technology can track him around the globe!

Santa is currently in Hanoi (Vietnam, do they even celebrate Christmas ??) and on his way to Lhasa, China (do they celebrate??) who cares? not me!

If you have the children or grandchildren with you (or even want to have a peek yourself) here’s the live web page. Go and have a look at Santa’s progress!

Here is the News

How I laughed at midday today, here’s the lead story from my local radio station (Algoa FM), you’ve got to admire the cheek of the officer!

Cheap lamb chops anyone?

“A detective constable from the Upington stock theft unit appeared in the Upington Magistrate’s Court on Friday after allegedly trying to get two sheep from a suspected stock thief, Northern Cape police said.

He was arrested on Thursday after he allegedly demanded two sheep from a suspected stock thief, which he wanted “for the festive period”, in exchange for not arresting the man.

The man contacted the unit’s commander, and co-operated with police in setting up a meeting with the constable, at which the sheep were handed over and the constable was then arrested.”

If that wasn’t funny enough here’s the second item in the bulletin;-

The first murder

Our lunch time news is full of it.

Those of you following the ‘Cape Town Honeymoon Murder’ case may recall that Barrister Ben Watson representing our lot told the court that Tongo (the taxi driver) had been told that this wasn’t the first time that the millionaire from Bristol had arranged a hijacking and killing.

In 2007  Dr. Pox Raghavjee was hijacked, murdered in his car and left outside a sports stadium near King Williams Town.

What baffled police at the time was that his wallet and other personal possessions (including his mobile phone) were left at the scene.

What’s the connection? The wife is a personal friend of the Dewani family and it was Dr. Pox Raghavjee’s widow (Heather Raghavjee) who drove to Cape Town the morning after the brutal killing of Anni to comfort the husband.

Heather Raghavjee is unfortunately out of the country at the moment so police are unable to move forward!
