Ons het vanoggend Elke se eerste treë op video vasgevang. Met die hulp van tegnologie kan lesers dit ‘n paar uur later sien. Die is ook toevallig my eerste Youtube upload.

My onmiddelike reaksie toe ek van die ontdekking van die “grootste” diamant hoor was moet dit nou net nie weer vir die Pommies gee nie! Maar nou reken ek dis miskien ‘n liegstorie. Van die bestuur van die maatskappy wat die diamant ontdek het was betrokke by Holland Moorehouse, ‘n tyddeel maatskappy wat bankrot geraak [...]

I couldn’t believe my eyes and ears this week when Carte Blanche aired a Gert van Rooyen story that was about as believable as Girvan Lubbe’s malaria watch. I was dismayed that Ruda Landman put her name to this nonsense. This is not investigative journalism – there were no cold hard facts whatsoever! Clairvoyancy form [...]

Tans is daar ongelukkig meer sleg as goeie Afrikaanse programme op Suid-Afrikaanse TV. Die SABC se Afrikaanse dekking sou snaaks gewees het as dit nie so ernstig was nie. Hulle verkrag eenvoudig ons taal. Kim Cloete kan NIE Afrikaans praat nie en tog gee sy verslag op omtrent elke 2de item op die Afrikaanse nuus. [...]

Absolutely adore this. Keep your eyes on the expressions of the Hippo. Even Nick Parks from Wallace & Grommit must be impressed by this. If this doesn’t play, go directly to Youtube.
