Oscar Pistorious and the people of colour! Speaking of Which  |  Chekwane You’d think the people of colour have enough on their plates than to bother about why or how Oscar Pistorious killed his girlfriend.

We don’t have money! Speaking of Which  |  Chekwane I’m up to here with it! I’m tired! I will no longer take calls from Furniture Shops. We are only into the second month of the year, and Furniture Shops are calling us left and right saying when are you going to pay?
