Four Seasons Before Lunch Gauteng (Pretoria)

-
 I have lived in Pretoria for half my life, but even at almost 50, l still am not ready for mornings like this . I step out of  home in the morning at 7 a.m., greeted by a warm, gentle breeze and sunshine so golden it felt like summer had arrived overnight. The sky was clear; the jacaranda trees glowed purple; the air smelled of warmth and possibility. “Perfect day,” l muttered, locking his door. By the time l drive out—five minutes later—the sky starts to be darkened. A cold wind came crawling in from nowhere, sweeping dust across the pavement. The temperature dropped so suddenly that  l have  to switch the heater for warmth. Laughing. “Ah, Pretoria… you never disappoint.” Halfway to the office, the heavens opened. Not soft rain— a storm . Sheets of water hammered the road, street gutters overflowed instantly, and distant thunder rolled like a grumpy giant waking up too early. People scattered, hiding under bus shelters already too full.  “Ten minutes ago...

Ex-Sundowns keeper paid R360 000

Mar 25, 2021 - 08:30 pm By Staff Reporter

PREMIERSHIP

A former Mamelodi Sundowns goalkeeper is smiling all the way to the bank after being paid R360 000 for services he rendered while working for his national association.

Ex-Sundowns goalkeeper Ronnie Kanelelo was paid N360 000 (R360 000) by the Namibian Football Association for the role he played when he was assistant coach of the Brave Warriors.

Kanelelo and Ricardo Mannetti – formerly with Santos and who was the head coach of Namibia at the time – were paid similar amounts after the government instructed the NFA to make the payments.

According to The Namibian newspaper, the NFA settle debts owed members of the technical team with Kanelelo confirming his payout for the work he did for the association.

Also paid were former second assistant Collin Benjamin (R300 000), goalkeeper coach Herman Januarie, fitness coach Charl Botha and kit manager Immanuel Mungendje all received R270 000 each.

Technical director Timo Tjongarero was due to get R225 000 but has taken his case to the labour court demanding R3.6-million.

“Our names were on the list before every match. Unless people say we shouldn’t be paid for having worked. I think all of us are happy with what has transpired, maybe only one is taking their issue to the labour court,” Kanelelo is quoted as saying.

Kanalelo started 97 games for Sundowns between 1997 until he retired during the 2004/05 season while Mannetti started 140 games for Santos and Bush Bucks in the PSL from 1997-2006.

Kanelelo's job as assistant of the Brave Warriors is now being done by ex-Kaizer Chiefs wingback Robert Nauseb.

Fighting Drug addiction

-
 Here's the story: We sat down with a man who had a harrowing journey with addiction. He began by telling us about his early days in tertiary education, where he would occasionally smoke dagga with friends. However, his focus remained on his studies, and he worked hard to graduate and secure a qualification. After landing a job, he started building a life for himself. He got married, bought a property, and even splurged on a car. Life was good, and he felt like he was on top of the world. But one fateful night, while out with friends, he was introduced to heavier narcotics. At first, the experience was exhilarating. He described it as an elevation from the mild high of dagga to a level 5 high, where he felt invincible and euphoric. The effects would last for days, allowing him to party from Friday to Sunday without sleep. The problem, however, began to manifest on Mondays and Tuesdays every week, when the withdrawal symptoms would kick in, and he'd struggle to function at work....

Ultra-Widebody Volkswagen Bus "Volkswide" Looks Like a Porsche Racing Van

  Home   >   News   >   Renderings It's easy to understand why a muscle car or a Ferrari is cool - the big engine and cool body. But car culture is also influenced by television, rarity, or simply a generation growing up with a particular vehicle. The Volkswagen Bus is a perfect example of this because it's slow, not sporty-looking, yet it can cost a lot of money.  16 photos The Bus is perhaps one of the least understood collectibles, right up there with bubble cars. You see them grabbing huge money at auctions, making it difficult to visualize why somebody wouldn't rather have a Ferrari or some 1960s Mustang. Comedian Gabriel Iglesias is known as the VW Bus King, as his collection of Vdubs is reportedly worth in excess of $3 million. The Hoonigan crew recently did a feature video, but we still had trouble picturing the value of these vehicles. Fortunately, there's a set of renderings that takes the visuals of the Microbus to the level where everybody...
