I have been here on business for the past two days. I know many don't believe columnists are capable of doing business of any sort. Apparently all we do is write columns and cannot run a business to save our lives.I must admit, however, that...

Yet we annotate our columns with notes like ‘For feedback, comments and insults email [email protected]’. This should lead any sane, analytical person to the conclusion that not many columnists are smart.In fact, I too think many...

Everyone took a swig at the bottle and was sufficiently inebriated after that little indulgence. This was an age of miracles when people had powers to part seas and walk through them.Nowadays people believe the miracle boat has sailed, that nobody is...

Forget that our ‘A basimane Ba Kgwathe’ cohort in 1997 seemed to view the white and black spherical thing as incidental and continued to embarrass the locals by losing all 3 of their games, conceding 10 goals in the process and scoring only 1, in...

Some of you had been touted as the next big thing on the modelling ramp when in actual fact you cannot even make the pages of an edition of The Weird and Wacky Creatures.My mum one day inexplicably called me a prince. I am not exactly sure what I had...

Then it was moved from the general ward onto the death bed. It is then that the powers that ought to be waded in to fire the proverbial salvos to whoever doesn’t have their own salvos.JC Results are out. Once more they continued the aggressive...

We think women are harder to understand. One of the most frightening stats I have come across is that 25% of men are on medication for mental illness. That's scary. It means we have 75% running around untreated.The untreated are walking around...

Any prophet worth his pulpit must have that ‘I see’ moment. Thanks to social media we can pick these ‘I see’ moments through shared clips. Heaven bless the God of technology.This week I chanced upon one such video. A pastor was predicting the...

November is a precursor of all things exciting. The biggest thing about November is getting dividends from a Motshelo club. Officially this dividend is meant to buy Christmas food and clothing for kids.However, most if not a good part of it is...

For every positive there is a negative though – an oft ignored side. Some friends will stab you in the front – forget the back - and we tend to conveniently forget that.A pitbull is such a friend to man. You could be friends for quite a sustained...
