Well, the traffic drama in Johannesburg has more acts than a Shakespeare play.
Metropolis expansion? Check! Failed public transport solutions? You betcha! Metrobus as the knight in shining armour? Of course. World Cup sparking changes? Naturally.
Alas, the dream of a seamless transport system remains as elusive as a polite honk on the highway. The inefficiencies get as complex as a spaghetti junction, but hey, hope springs eternal, right?
Let’s cast corruption and unrest as the villains in the next act.
In the highly imaginative world of long-exposure photography, even time can be toyed with to spin a visual yarn. This art is all about catching stillness amid a whirl of movement, using camera-ready tripods and quick thinking. Craft beguiling stories using not just light and shadow, but also the whispers of passing time. So grab a camera, toss reality out the window, and prepare to bend time to your artistic will!
Pondering about the humble necktie? Those strips of fabric originating from 17th century Croatian mercenaries elevated by King Louis XIII to royal accessory status? Now, they undergo countless changes, reflect art movements, and give men a shot of expressing their artistic sides. Lads, next time you tie one on, remember it’s not just fashion, it’s history against your Adam’s apple!
Tracing South Africa’s electrifying history from early telegraph usage in 1860 to today’s frequent blackouts and soaring prices, it’s clear that Eskom’s in a pickle. From being the pioneer of bright ideas, like illuminating railways in 1881, to now juggling load-shedding schedules, Eskom seems to be stuck in a dark loop. Between large-scale corruption, non-payment issues, and an overburdened middle class, South Africa’s power crisis isn’t flipping the switch anytime soon.
Bumblebees, nature’s handy GPS-using, spoon-tongued pollinators, are in serious trouble. Thanks to modern farming practices, these flying pollinators face the threat of home eviction and pesticide poisoning.
However, hope lies in plant diversity, reduced pesticide use, and bee-friendly community projects. So, let’s get buzzing and help these smart little creatures before their tiny suitcases get packed!
Tom Gillespie, fifth among eight siblings, was born in 1907 in Oudtshoorn, South Africa.
After initially embracing barber-hood, military life caught his fancy. He served, got married, cut hair, served again, then settled in Kimberley.
In 1947, at only 40, he concluded his life’s whirlwind adventure, leaving a legacy of an absent father and husband, despite the merits earned in his military career.
In a time when time is literally money, here’s a quirky inch-high bottle of time, a forgotten but used-to-be-handy surfing and telephony companion, that ignites a night of dreaded listlessness. It inspires hypnotic contemplation and a startling realization: maybe this relentless hourglass has the power to pause after all!
Found a box of faded memories gathering dust? Faces obscured by a film fog thicker than a mystery novel? Fear not, fellow nostalgia-seekers!
In Namibia’s embrace, where desert meets ocean’s grace, my friend met its sandy fate — lost in dunes, awash in salt. Farewell, dear Sigma, selfies now grainy, landscapes left to roam alone, becoming one with the metal that shapes the Namib’s dunes.
Life during pandemic times: A tumultuous blend of constant travel, vanishing job offers, and precariously teetering freelance work. But wait, it’s not all gloom! Sprinkle in a chaos-induced family reunion after 40 years, the stressful soothing of a stressed mum in isolation, and a stubbornly elusive passport from Namibia. Who says variety is dead?
