    Texas shooting: 14 children and one teacher killed in primary school shooting

    The shocking thing about a killing like this is not only the tragic loss of 14 innocent children, bit think of the many lives this has changed forever. Every child in that school will be traumatized for life having had to fear for their own lives and having lost friends. Others will feel guilty...

    Australia cricket legend, Shane Warne, dies of ‘suspected heart attack’, aged 52.

    Wow, RIP to an altime great! Cant help to think of my own health. Sure I dont take lines of coke or super binge but then again I was also never a top level athlete. Makes you think...

    ‘It will feel like 50C’: W. Cape set to be hottest place ON EARTH tomorrow

    Was just gonna say, currently -28C real feel here in Halifax, while family in CT will have if close to 50C. Like a 75C swing. Imagine you get onto a airplane tomorrow afternoon inbound to Canada and step out into -25ish. Must say, the real feel thing is a bit of a misnomer to me. Real...

    Yeah not getting the rent is one thing, not being able to kick him off the land to sell it is another.

    Roger Telemachus: South African cricket was controlled by a clique of white players

    You might be right that their was bias against Thami. It does not equate to racism though just because of his skin colour. There could be various reasons for the bias. Performance/experience may be one of them, team options another. But those aside, what if people did not like him or he had a...

    Roger Telemachus: South African cricket was controlled by a clique of white players

    Sounds like he was selected as a "16th" member of a 15-man playing squad with the intention of being a non-player and observing and learning and practicing with the team. He wasn't supposed to play and wasn't chosen to be the 16 best players available for the tour. Someone on the actual playing...

    Roger Telemachus: South African cricket was controlled by a clique of white players

    Exactly. So said "investigation" finds that there were no merit for not selecting Zondo and then magically concludes that it must be racism. Just because he is black. Maybe its because he lacks international experience or maybe he just is a **** you never know. His father is Raymond Zondo so...

    Existing Contracts when Emigrating....

    Yeah I dont think I would want to test that. I emigrated to Canada and am still paying off some credit card debt after 2 years. That debt was almlst clean when we got here but having that credit available to us starting out here and **** happened that was my only line of credit. Not repaying it...

    Cricket SA instructs all Proteas to take the knee at T20 World Cup in fight against racism

    I find it interesting that both Klaassen and Nortje did not bend the knee or put a fist in the air during the first game, out of choice/personal principle I assume. After being told they have to by CSA they quickly change their principles? So now you gave "racist" QdK not playing but two guys...

    Baby in an apartment?

    Stay where you are, have a kid and raise him/her in the flat. The first 2 years wont make much if a difference when they are small as they dont run around freely. Your opening post is the right idea, if you cant make it till they are 5 then stay till 2/3 years old. You will know then and would...

    ANC builds bench 'stadium' costing R15 million in Eastern Cape

    Nothing new here really. It is just that this case is more "visual" than the usual tender fraud. This is literally why BEE exists. Or what it is used for. Happens day in and day out. You'll get a municipality paying R10m for a software upgrade that is worth R1m but you dont know about it or cant...

    Maldives...Anyone?

    Been to Thailand for our honeymoon in 2011 16 nights split between Krabi (Raylay Bay), Phuket and Phi-phi which are all 40-60minutes apart via ferry. Been to Maldives as a company gift at AdaaranClub Rannalhi in 2016. My take on Maldives: Its a conglomerate of 1000s of tiny tiny little islands...

    There is a case to introduce a R10 coin in South Africa: Reserve Bank

    There really is no reason these days to carry any cash or transact in cash. Your salary gets paid into your bank account, too much effort to go to an ATM and draw cash if you can just pay by debit/credit card. Since moving to Canada 2 years ago almost never have cash on me. So much so that I...

    Easiest way to move abroad as a young south african

    We did the whole process ourselves with no agency involved, and so did many other people. I'm not sure if I will be able to do it again, the application process and actually getting here and settling in. It is very daunting but must say it is pretty much our greatest achievement. A lot of...

    For Canadian Permanent Residency visa, google 'CIC express entry calculator". Put in your real data as of now and then see how many points you get and see how much difference a masters degree or more work experience make by playing around with your numbers.
