News24 just dropped a bombshell ; a cable released by Wikileaks reveals conversations between Rieaz "Mo" Shaik and a US diplomat known only as "PolOff". Mo is the brother of convicted criminal Schabir Shaik and is currently the head of the South African Secret Service . The conversations describe how Mo attempts to control and utilise sensitive information to the advantage of Jacob Zuma and allies.

One might expect Tim Burton to be the director to effectively bring the strange world of Lewis Carol to life but let’s be honest; there is no one better accustomed to strange psychology than Marilyn Manson. “Phantasmagoria: The Visions Of Lewis Carroll” is a controversial film that Manson has been working on for over 6 years and despite the project being officially “cancelled” there is talk on the net of an immanent release.

BEE is blatantly corrupt and racist yet our "leaders" speak of it as if it's perfectly acceptable and even necessary. I have even heard the phrase "No one questions the necessity of BEE, it's the implementation that must be discussed". This is strange to me since 90% of the people i speak to on this topic (black, white, coloured, indian) have said that it's racist and destructive. That's certainly at least a small group of people that do question it.

Dust off the old PK3 files: Although it's over 10 years old, Quake 3 is still being played in offices around the world. Since id software has open sourced the Quake 3 engine; a community of developers has created an updated engine called ioquake3 and has recently also included a high resolution texture pack . ioquake3 is 100% compatable with Quake3 v1.32 so you will be able to join servers running the original Quake3 engine and vice versa. All you will need are the original pk3 files found in your Quake 3 baseq3 folder.

“Corporate giants can’t fuck with the link between our art and our clients”, one of the many recycled phrases in Waddy Jones ’ arsenal. This middle class English-speaking white boy from Randburg has spent many years perfecting the art of rap but lyrical gymnastics alone won’t pay the bills. Keeping it real was ironically not his claim to fame, completely redefining his personality to a stereotypical white trash South African reflecting a prominent hardcore sub-culture was what got him there. “Ninja” is probably the only aspect of the zen loving individual that’s been carried through to Die Antwoord .

Jacob Zuma vowed that the ANC would rule until the second coming . Thanks to Sadtu , Jesus may be here sooner than we hoped. Sadtu president Thobile Ntola,  has said that they will overthrow the ANC leadership in 2012, this would be the second time that the ANC leadership was overthrown but this time i'm in full support. Jacob Zuma and his band of lackeys, side stepped the democratic process when they removed Thabo Mbeki and his appointed ministry. South Africa was hi-jacked by a bunch of thugs and since then we have been subjected to open corruption and complete disregard for the constitution and the needs of the people. The recent public servant strikes conducted by Cosatu were irrational and ineffective but the anger of the people was justified. Access to information and education should be the highest priority in government at the moment yet the ANC refuses to increase teacher salaries and insists on establishing a media tribunal . Who is this enemy that they want to pre...
