Originally from South Africa’s magnificent Eastern Cape, my family and I now reside in Pennsylvania in the United States. To earn my keep I’m an executive for a multinational company in the Healthcare sector. I’m also a serious amateur photographer. Pro-environmental and conservation views.

  • Zuma’s “aqcuital” exposes black South Africans

    The NPA today made the expected anouncement that they are not going to prosecute ANC leader and president designate Jacob Zuma for countless (700+) cases of fraud. It is a dark day for South Africa. I don’t know whether Zuma is guilty or not, but based on the fact that he had R4m in his…

  • Russiese herbewapening is slegte nuus

    Vandag het Dmitry Medvedev, Russiese President, aangekondig dat Rusland voortgaan met grootskaalse herbewapening van konvensionele en kernwapens. Volgens Medvedev het die onlangse ontplooiing in Georgië hulle tekorte uitgewys en hulle vertrou nie die situasie in die streek nie – veral omdat Georgië en Ukraine, Rusland se bure, moontlik Navo lande kan word. Wat my aanbetref…

  • Blou Bulle se godsdiens is onvanpas

    Ek en my familie bly in ‘n klein dorp in die Oos-Kaap. Ek het grootgeword hier, maar ek is gebore op die delwersdorp Carletonville in die Transvaal. Nou my belydenis:  ek is ‘n baie baie groot Blou Bul ondersteuner. Ek weet self nie presies hoekom nie, die goed gebeur mos maar as jy klein is.…

  • Prince utters wise words

    Call me counter-revolutionary is an exceptional, well referenced, column by Head of Crime, Justice and Politics Programme at the Institute for Security Studies, Prince Mashele. I think it is a great column, because it attacks the idle middle class & its irresponsible consumer culture. I think this is one of the real underlying problems in…

  • Regter smackdown; Harms teen Nicholson

    Vandag het my mond regtig oopgehang soos wat Regter Louis Harms (ek ken sy seun so op ‘n manier), adjunk Regter-President, vir Regter Chris Nicholson, ‘n senior regter van die Natalse Hooggeregshof, uitmekaar gehaal het. Teen die tyd weet almal sekerlik waaroor die saak gaan en ek is baie in my noppies oor die uitspraak,…

  • Boesmansriviermond Boeresport

    Toe ek grootgeword het was die Boeresport een van die beste goed omtrent Desember vakansies by Boesmans. Ek is seker dit was altyd op die 1ste gewees, maar die jaar was dit die 31ste Desember. Die Boeresport word afgeskop deur ‘n marathon tussen Boesmans mond en Kwaaihoek. Daarna is dit naellope en die oggend hoogtepunt:…

  • Another ANC politician above the law

    Yet another top-level ANC politician escaped justice & punishment when Magistrate Ricardo Phillips found Tony Yengeni, former whip of the ANC, not guilty of Drunken Driving. The horrifying thing is that the Magistrate said that the case was unlawful because the arresting officers were ordered by the then commander at the Goodwood police station, senior…

  • Nazi lessons for Raymond Ackerman

    Last week I heard a story that enraged me: a successful Pick & Pay owner wanted to open a second Pick & Pay somewhere in the Southern Cape. According to my source Raymond Ackerman told this person that the only way in which he will ever be allowed to open that Pick & Pay was…

  • Tim Russert is oorlede

    Tim Russert is gistermiddag (laat gisteraand vir ons in Suid-Afrika) oorlede. Hy het vir 17 jaar lank die uitstekende program Meet the Press aangebied. Die program het met die Amerikaanse top politici onderhoude gevoer. Dit was myns insiens die beste program van sy aard wat ek nog gesien het. Met Russert was die program was…

  • Afrikaners vs Suid-Afrika

    Hierdie skrywe is kommentaar op Of generations, arseholes, Isreal and volkstate, ‘n uitmindende weldeurdagte skrywe deur Mhambi, en sy kommentaar. ‘n Mens (lees Marthinus) moet nie jou kop breek oor die woord liberalisme nie. Dis semantics. In sekere gevalle is liberalisme nie ‘n slegte ding nie. Maar ek stem 100% saam met jou dat “unquestioning tolerance”…
