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...

1958 Chevrolet Impala GTA V Mod Looks Spot On, Is a Nightmare to Drive

1958 is the year that brought us the Impala nameplate, though at first, it was only offered as a top-of-the-line version of the Bel Air.

But given its immense success, Chevrolet decided to turn it into a stand-alone series only a year later, therefore giving birth to a model that eventually managed to become the first car in the United States to sell more than 1 million units in just 12 months on the market.

It happened in 1965, the year when the GM brand rolled out the fourth-generation Impala, which itself continued to sell like hotcakes until it started losing ground in the late ‘60s.

But the 1958 Impala still has a well-deserved place in automotive history books, and this is why there are lots of people out there who’d give anything just to be able to drive one.

Needless to say, owning such a beaut isn’t easy, as an example in mint condition is worth a small fortune, but fortunately, you can still hop behind the wheel of a 1958 Impala without paying a single cent thanks to videogames.

Grand Theft Auto V, for example, gives you this opportunity thanks to a recent pack published by modder GreenAid on GTA5-Mods. The 1958 Impala looks spot on, as you can see for yourselves in the gallery here, despite the mod still requiring a series of refinements, including as far as the handling is concerned.

Because yes, handling this original Impala is quite a challenge, yet some see it as a feature, not a bug, since it makes the experience overall more similar to the one you get when driving a classic car that launched no less than 63 years ago.

Other than that, the mod comes with both hardtop and convertible body styles, working lights, and custom colors, though you may want to check out the installation instructions to get them right.

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....
