I stumbled upon the mouthwatering delights of candied coffee-coated peanuts at a South African market.
I then found myself taking a jovial deep-dive into the history and making of this insidiously addictive snack (you’ve been warned!).
From 16th-century nutty coffee concoctions in the Middle East to present-day DIY recipes, I invite you to join me in the exploration of this sweet, salty, bitter blend of coffee and nuts.
Remember, accidents are just part of the process, and ‘burning’ is merely a ghost tan. Bon Appétit!
The Parktown Convent of Joburg has morphed from an early 1900s girls’ school to a ghoulish tourist attraction. Its dimly lit walkways may be creepy, but they’re as full of history as they are of phantom schoolgirls. Going solo might warrant a trespassing ticket, so rope in a mate, join a guided tour, or if you’re particularly brave — a haunted one. Just don’t forget your holy water for the spectres. Aggression towards tourists can be more real than spectral, though, so stay safe in the city.
The Voortrekker Monument, a skyscraping spectacle outside Pretoria, gives the Great Pyramids a run for their money. It’s got the world’s largest marble frieze and a tapestry with three million stitches – that’s three million reasons to visit. Built to honor South Africa’s own “Indiana Jones” types, it’s more than just pretty—it encapsulates a grand saga of adventurism and determination. Be sure to pop in next time you’re in town!
Join Spanish conquistador Gonzalo Pizarro on his quest for that elusive city of gold in NetEnt’s casino game, Gonzo’s Quest.

Step right up to lose yourself in Platinum Play Casino’s wonderland! With a flick and a click, you’ll be adrift in a sea of sparkling casino games by Microgaming and Evolution. The Rapid-Fire Run-down: a NZ$800 welcome bonus, special promotions, VIP Program, and mind-boggling jackpots.

Surely, you jest. So, ready to roll the dice, eh?
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!
Struggling to land your dream job despite being highly qualified? Turns out it’s not what’s on paper, but rather what’s on you. Dressing smartly might just help you outshine other candidates. To help you sweep into that boardroom like a corporate superstar, Macy’s offers tailored suits that fit like a glove. But remember, catsuits aren’t made overnight, so better plan in advance!
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.
