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.

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!
