 Yesterday I attended Feli Nandi's show at Hard Rock Café in Sandton, Johannesburg — and what a night it was. The show was epic. Just when we thought the legacy of voices like Chiwosino Maraire was gone, Feli reminded us that the genre lives on.  https://x.com/NandiFeli?t=p7yxFWzqtvHM6HD13b-QPg&s=08 Feli Nandi is the real deal. The woman is good — her voice, her energy, her ever-smiling presence lit up the whole stage. She’s a true people’s person. The crowd fed off her vibe and she gave it right back. Flanked by friends and fellow artists like Joe Thomas (yes, the Joe Thomas of “I Wanna Know”), Makhadzi and others, she held her own and more. It’s worth it to attend her shows — you leave feeling uplifted. She performed to a fully packed café. Zimbabweans came out strong to support the gig. Some were dressed traditionally, proudly showing off culture. I remember one couple in matching colors — it was beautiful to see. Feli herself was dressed in white, glowing under the lig...

 The wait is over. Stadium gates swing open, the floodlights blaze, and the anthem rings through the air like a long-lost melody. Scarves rise, chants swell, and every corner of the pitch hums with energy. The Premier League has returned. Saturdays feel alive again. Streets buzz with anticipation, pubs throb with cheers, and living rooms glow with the familiar green of the pitch. The rhythm of the season pulses through homes, cities, and hearts. Every whistle, every tackle, every last-minute goal brings back the colour that had faded during the long off-season. The empty spaces in calendars are once again filled with fixtures, predictions, and passionate debates. Normality has returned — not through routine, but through ritual. The Premier League is back, and life, in all its vibrant chaos, is restored. Its time for woman to know that remote controls for Televisions  belongs to man.  Woman TAKE a Back seat. 

 In the heart of Africa lies the Democratic Republic of Congo , a land so breathtakingly beautiful and unimaginably rich that it could, in theory, be one of the wealthiest countries on Earth. Beneath its fertile soils lies a treasure chest of minerals — cobalt , gold , diamonds , coltan , copper — resources the modern world depends on for everything from smartphones to electric cars. The rivers roar with hydroelectric potential , the forests teem with biodiversity , and the land could feed millions if harnessed well. And yet… the people remain poor. Decades of political instability, corruption, and exploitation have strangled the nation’s potential. Successive governments, instead of using the country’s wealth to build schools, hospitals, roads, and industries, have treated public office like a personal gold mine. The riches flow out — to foreign corporations, to private offshore accounts — while the streets of Kinshasa and the villages of Kivu cry out for clean water, decent ...

Yesterday, two cars were set ablaze in what appears to be a calculated and brutal attack. Witnesses say armed men carrying AK-47 rifles approached, blocked the vehicles, and without hesitation, hurled petrol bombs inside—knowing full well that there were people trapped within. Flames engulfed the cars within seconds, leaving no chance for escape. Somewhere tonight, a home sits in silence. A mother is trying to explain to her children why their father will never walk through the door again. She has no words to make sense of the violence, only tears. The children, too young to fully understand, will one day learn the truth: that their father was murdered in cold blood while simply trying to make an honest living. The victims were not criminals. They were not gang members. They were people just like you and me—working hard to provide, paying their dues, harming no one. Yet their lives were snatched away by individuals who believe they have the right to take justice—or rather vengeance—i...

 Being a resident of the South African Community, l have came to realize that in some cases we have Car hijackings that will leave one to wonder what will have happened and where did those robbers comes from. The events unfold in a very fast and violent  manner which no-one will be prepared for. Its so traumatic, horrific and in some cases individuals end up loosing their lives.  l realized that these individuals who carry out such bad things works with someone who either will be seeing you close by or else you will be drinking on the same counter in a bar and he is relaying the information to those waiting for you outside. It's so unfortunate that some people that we meet are not there for the social life that you go for. They are on a mission to take you down. It is difficult to raise public awareness and advise people to be vigilant. However a few tips can try to raise awareness such as if you see that you are being followed drive to the nearest police station. In publ...

 The journey was well planned and it took us less than 10 hours to reach our destination from Pretoria South Africa to Mvuma central Zimbabwe.  A lot of construction is happening on the roads. Harare to Masvingo Highway is complete and the remaining part which was left between Beitbridge and Masvingo is being completed.  Surely by December it should be done. Though there is a lot of money being miss used, there are elements of success. Harare to Beitbridge road was a death trap, the road had so many potholes, had no shoulder no fencing to protect  animals from entering the road and some parts even worn out that left it narrow in a way that two trucks cannot pass without one having to go out of the road.  Those improvements form part of the new Government's transformation policy. There is job creation and slowly improving the standards which has been declining for more that 20 to 30 years. Surely Rome was not built over night. At the border you can see significan...

  By   Daniel Puchert Partially state-owned telecommunications company Telkom announced in its financial results for the year ending 31 March 2025 that its ADSL subscribers had more than halved to under 30,000. According to the company’s operational data, ADSL lines decreased from 64,959 in March 2024 to 29,770. This 54.2% decline highlights that the legacy broadband technology is slowly approaching the end of the road. Telkom’s ADSL business peaked at the end of March 2016 with 1.01 million subscribers — two years after fibre upstart Vumatel  broke ground in Parkhurst . What followed was a sharp decline in Telkom ADSL subscribers. Customers connected to its copper networks decreased by more than 500,000 over the next four years. This was partly driven by Telkom itself, which began actively switching off its copper network in some neighbourhoods. If it did not have fibre in the area, it would offer a “fixed line lookalike” wireless service that ran over its cellular ...

  Aldo Durán Published on June 12, 2025 0 Trends Earth’s rotation is getting slower—and it might be the reason we can breathe Imagine a planet spinning so fast that its days last just 18 hours, racing against time to catch a breath. Over billions of years,  Earth’s rotation  has been slowing down little by little, stretching our days to a full 24 hours. But this slow and steady deceleration isn’t just a cosmic curiosity, it may hold the key to why we have breathable  oxygen  in the atmosphere today. A groundbreaking study reveals a surprising connection between the  length of Earth’s day  and the rise of oxygen, an element that transformed our planet and made complex life possible. How Earth’s slowing spin changed oxygen production When  Earth  first formed nearly 4.5 billion years ago, days were significantly shorter. Thanks to the gravitational pull of the Moon, the planet’s rotation has gradually slowed down over time. Today, a full day is...

  By   Daniel Puchert An extensive network of undersea cables connects South Africa to the rest of the world, with multinational tech giants like Meta Platforms and Google helping to roll out this infrastructure. While the first fibre optic cable landed in South Africa in 1993, the country has used undersea connectivity for over 145 years. The first cable that connected the country to the rest of the world was a single-channel electrical cable rolled out by the South African Telegraph Company, completed in December 1879. This ran along the east coast of Africa from Durban and Zanzibar to Aden in Yemen. It then extended to Europe through terrestrial networks. In 1889, another telegraph cable was run along Africa’s west coast, connecting Cape Town to Europe via St Helena and the Ascension Islands. It took another 69 years for South Africa to have an undersea cable capable of telephonic communication with the rest of the world. This was SAT-1, which ran from Melkbosstrand, near C...
