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...

Zimbabwe: Mujuru, Canada Congratulate ED

By Felex Share
People'S Rainbow Coalition (PRC) losing presidential candidate Dr Joice Mujuru yesterday joined other opposition parties and leaders in congratulating President Mnangagwa on his election victory. She said it was now time for all patriotic Zimbabweans to speak with one voice for the development of the country.
Dr Mujuru, one of the 23 presidential candidates who participated in the July 30 polls, wished President Mnangagwa and his administration well in their efforts to rebuild the economy.
In her congratulatory message, Dr Mujuru said: "Noting that the elections have come and gone, the court challenge has come and gone and the inauguration of the new President of Zimbabwe has also come and gone; realising that the people of Zimbabwe are looking forward to the betterment of their lives after long years of suffering and neglect; acknowledging the difficulty task of reviving the depressed economy characterised by dilapidated infrastructure, closed industries, liquidity crunch, poverty, inequality and joblessness among other ills; believing that we all want the best for Zimbabwe, I, as the presidential candidate of PRC, and on behalf of the entire PRC family, while noting that the elections were generally free though not necessarily fair, hereby pass my congratulatory message to His Excellency President ED Mnangagwa.
"It is unfortunate that due to circumstances beyond my control I could not join him on his inauguration. However, congratulations, Amhlope, Makorokoto to him, his family and his team."
"We wish him well in his endeavours to rebuild the economy and bring about the much needed jobs for the young generation," she said.
"Above all, we pray for peace, stability and prosperity for our mother-fatherland."
This came as Canada yesterday urged political actors in the country to respect the outcome of the Constitutional Court and promote peace in responding to the verdict.
"Zimbabwe's Constitutional Court has rendered its decision on the merits of a challenge to the conduct and results of the July 30 election decision confirming Emmerson Mnangagwa as the winner of the Presidential election," Canada said in a statement.
"We commend all actors for their decision to put forward their differing positions in a peaceful manner, respecting the Zimbabwean Constitution and the rule of law. We hope they promote calm and restraint in responding to the verdict.
"We also take note of calls for dialogue to promote peace such as from the Zimbabwe Council of Churches. All political parties campaigned on platforms which acknowledged the need for a processes of ongoing reform including political, electoral, human rights and economic," the North American country said.

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...
