The World Cup Is Over. You Can Go Home Now

After an amazing day at the Moses Mabhida Stadium, watching Switzerland humiliating Spain whilst listening to the Swiss players ringing cow bells, I was so sure my day will end on a positive note. I was so fooled.

Not that I’m crying over spilled milk, I mean I’m used to being disappointed by our national football team. They just never seem to get their ducks in a row even after all that support that was showed towards them. Football Fridays, South Africans buying the jersey (even though some of them were fong-kongs) and even prayer gatherings. Tjo even the Lord can’t help these helpless boys out.

Ok enough of the trashing now and more on the serious stuff. S.A coach, Carlos Alberto Parreirablames the Swiss referee (damn traitors after supporting them at Moses Mabhida) for our dismal and humiliating loss. Truth be told, we deserved to lose. No team will ever win without scoring goals. You need to score to win dammit!

For the first 10 or so minutes, the ball was on our half. I didn’t even know how the Uruguay keeper was wearing during those minutes! People are also complaining about the red card Khunewas given by the ref. I’m told by my sports crazy and even World Cup crazier partner that according to Fifa rules, any attack by the last line of defense, it’s a straight red card. If that’s the case then why all the noise? Read the rules people!

I call on all South Africans to calm the F down and admit defeat. Whether the ref was bribed or not we lost and Uruguay was the better team all round, Form their defenders right up to their stikers.

All that’s left is now is hope that so and so don’t win or so and so draws and beats so and so. Even during the Confed, we went through to the second round by the Lord’s mercy.

Since we won’t be going into the second round, the World Cup is over. All you foreign visitors can now pack your bags and leave and we will give the World Cup to Brazil. Show is over people, there’s nothing to see now!

On a final note, let’s look on the bright side here. We will be making history, yes history. No host nation has ever failed to qualify beyond the group stages. Let’s embrace our history-making tendency. First African could country to host a World Cup and first host nation to be given the boot on the first round.

With all that's said, I'm proud of them and their previous games. They showed that they have a point to prove. I'm still behind you, win or lose Boys Boys!

Now we know which team didn’t qualify for the WC hehehe!

Why? Coz Mpume Said So

BIG BROTHER AFRICA: The Probable Reason To Jen's Departure

If you are like me and have been following Big Brother Africa Revolution, you would know that the Mozambican housemate Jennifer has decided to voluntarily leave the house citing 'bad news from home' as her reason for leaving. She didn't say word-for-word her reasons for leaving which has left viewers speculating the real reasons to her sudden and hush-hush decision.

I've been doing some research on Ms Jen and found out that her father Inacio Sabastiao Mussanhane is influential in the international community. In fact his work that involves human trafficking between South Africa and Mozambique has seen him being recognised by the United Nations, which makes him a heavy weight.

About two nights ago Jen was telling Zambia's Paloma and Liz from South Africa unpleasant issues about her father. She said her father abandoned her and her brothers when they were little and would often go to bed hungry. She also mentioned when she moved to South Africa to her father, she lived with her dad and her dad's wife or girlfriend and he completely ignored her and brothers. He wouldn't buy food or clothes for them.

Jen was saying all of this about an influential person for the whole world to hear and if you smart enough you can put two and two together and come out with Jen's real reason of leaving. Her father must of hit boiling point and urged her to leave the house or news came to her from her family about her father's state and she could of decided to leave to mend her relationship with her dad. It would why she wanted to speak to her father so badly.

Viewers have been saying her decision comes after she found that she could be pregnant but I think it's way too far fetched coz on Thursday night she was binging on alcohol without a care in the world. And if it was a family emergency or a death in the family she wouldn't wait until Sunday to leave the house, she would leave asap.

Anyways Jen should of known what she was saying about her father would be detrimental and could of exercised more precaution.

I wish her the best of luck even though my love for her was lost on Thursday when she was talking a whole lot of rubbish about South Africa. Maybe she hates South Africa because she has bad childhood memories that she unfortunately experienced in this beautiful country.

And on a final note, since she studied politics she should join the ANC Youth League and be Julius Malema's deputy coz they both have mouth diarrhea. Do they even let foreigners join?

Hell yea Mpume said so!

EYE CANDY: The Hottest 100 Meter Sprinters

Watching the men's 100 meter races at the IAAF World Championships I realised how yummy these men are. My eyes couldn't help but feast on these lightning fast Gods. Here are my top 5 hottest sprinters.


Usain Bolt
You best believe that the lightning would be featuring in this list. Not because he's freakishly fast but there's something about this Jamaican's long legs that makes my pulse go doof doof.

Tyson Gaye
There's something about this silver medalist that I can't really put my finger on. He looks like he could be in his late 30s yet he has a body of a hot blooded early 20something. He reminds me my high school Biology teacher. The man was in his 40s but damn he was fine!


Asafa Powell
I just love the coolness of this guy when he's on the track. It's like he's running without giving much effort. Besides the big head, the former fastest man on earth is definitely high on my list.

Darvis Patton
I didn't know much about Patton and in a matter of fact I still don't know. All I know is that this super fine American's smile is killer. And I love a guy with a mysterious look.


Richard Thompson
Well look at what we have here. I didn't know there are men like this in Trinidad and Tobacco. I'm relocating to the Trinidad and Tobacco. Hell I'm relocating to the Caribbean. Sorry R. LOL.

The number one spot will most definitely be taken by Asafa Powel with Usain Bolt taking a close second and Richard Thompson taking third.

On a side note: I wonder why both women and men's 100m sprints are always dominated by black people in the US and the Caribbean. Could it be in the water? Whatever it is, they can do their thing and they do it good. I'm sensing Jamaica will soon be the track athlete's capital of the world. Don't say Mpume didn't say so.

Yea, Mpume said so!

STOP THE HATE: Why Can't We Just All Get Along

This issue has been bothering me for a while now and thought it's about time I let it out. All this haterism has taken it's toll on me especially since it's black on black hate.

Phrases like: “Whoo Xhosa girls are men thieves and are deceitful just like their Xhosa men”, “Zulu men are violent and don't know the meaning of romance” or “Swatis sound like retarded children when they speak” are phrases I've heard one too many times. These are the types of stereotypes that are been attached to people based on their cultural backgrounds.

Whether these phrases are true or not, I don't understand why do we have to define ourselves by stereotypes like these. These stereotypes have gone as far as we as the black nation hating each other. I've heard women saying you should never let a Xhosa woman near your man or else you will find yourself single coz sister girl don't play when it come to men, she takes without asking.

I get really concerned with these stereotypes coz I can't help to think if this is black-on-black hate in a different form. Black people have a history of this kind of hate where blood was shed between the Zulus and Xhosas.

For example people say Zulu women are submissive towards their men and can't stand up for themselves. They like“Yebo baba” whenever he says or want anything. I'm Zulu and certainly I'm no 'yes girl' and will not let no man walk all over me and he knows it. It's 50/50 baby. Or that Zulu women are violent just like their taxi driving boyfriends, wearing fake labels with a matching fake gold tooth bought and fitted at a street corner. Yes we Durbanites love mouth bling but hell no, we don't go that far.

But this hate don't just end with Xhosas and Zulus. I've heard Tsonga women don't have no personal hygiene or that all Coloured girls are smoking and alcohol binging baby making machines.

I have Coloured friends and can safely say that's not true. I know my girls will flip their wigs if somebody told them that to their face. In just about any community, there are those certain individuals who will give misconceptions which unfortunately will create a stereotype to the community.

I wish that we as a people can stop judging each other from one certain experience but judge a person from their personality. Not that I'm all Ms Goody-Too-Shoes but I think it's only fare to give each other a chance and don't shut each other out because we of a certain culture or even race.

Let's just all get along!

Caster Semenya Saga Has Become A Fiasco

Like the rest of the world, I've been following the Caster Semenya saga closely and I'm glad this whole story has died down for now.

My heart goes out to Caster, I can't imagine the psychological trauma she's going through during this time. It's like she's been paraded and talked about like a circus freak.

What still puzzles me is the race card that was pulled with this story. Ok maybe I'm naïve and just can't see the bigger picture but what does her race has to do with anything. It's not like she's the first woman who's gender has been questioned. Don't get me wrong here, I totally disagree with the manner in which the news about gender tests being conducted on her. I feel her human rights were violated and the IAAF should of being a lot more sensitivity and privacy.

I commend all those who came in their numbers to welcome Caster and the other two medal winners, Mbulaeni Mulaudzi and Khotso Mokoena. It showed how proud South Africa and her people are proud of their achievements and that we are 100% behind Caster during this time.

But then I wonder how has the homecoming of the three athletes became a political fiasco. There blabber-mouth Julius Malema was saying what a disgrace it is that there wasn't any white South Africans who came to OR Tambo International Airport to welcome the athletes. He went as far as saying of it was the Rugby team they would have been there. Although there was some truth to what he was saying but that was not the day or time. That particular time was to welcome and congratulate the three athletes not to point who was at the homecoming and who wasn't. So what if there weren't any white South Africans. If it was the rugby team I can guarantee that there was going to be more white than black South Africans.

Back to Miss Semenya, I think this story has been blown way out of proportion. She's not the first and will not be the last female athlete to have a gender test. All I can say before I actually make any conclusions is that let's wait and see what the results, although I strongly feel she's a woman. But I'm also afraid of the consequences if the results conclude that she in fact has male chromosomes.

I will be watching this one very closely.

Yea, Mpume said so.

John Legend, Keri Hilson Live in SA!!

This is probably one of the best entertainment news of the year for me. I couldn't believe my ears when I heard this. John Legend and one of my favourite singer at the moment, Keri Hilson will be serenading their South African fans in Cape Town, Johannesburg and my hometown Durban from

As broke as I am, I will be a fool to miss this concert. I'm already raising funds to buy myself a ticket. I'm gonna make sure I will be singing along to all their songs.

Now that I already have Ms Hilson's album (which reminds me I must get my CD back from my boyfriend), I need to download John Legend's album from the Internet. I call on anybody who has it to sponsor me so I won't commit a crime.

Anyways John Legend and Keri Hilson are presented by Heineken and Big Concerts. They will be performing at the Grand Arena, GrandWest Casino & Entertainment World in Cape Town on the 15th, the Indoor Arena, International Convention Centre Indoor Arena in Durban on the 17th and at the Coca-Cola Dome and at the Coca-cola Dome in Johannesburg on the 18th of October.

This is one concert that shouldn't be missed!
