A couple of days ago, we interviewed Reuben Goldberg on izimvo. When we first asked him for the interview, he sheepishly said, only if I can interview you. Shaun and I pulled straws, and I got the short one (and it was my turn after his interview with Aki Anistasiou). I am really not a [...]

I’m sure by now you may have heard about Geoff “the Heartman” Brink (madman) who is UNICYCLING from Durban to Cape Town. Yip thats right. One wheel all the way to Cape Town. 1700km. That just sounds silly. All of this to raise awareness for Landmine victims in Africa.

South African’s are the best nation in the world. Even if I say so myself. EXCEPT, there is one thing that really really annoys me with with our country. Drinking and driving. We have a really crap habit, of having a good time, and then getting in a car, and not only putting our lives [...]

A couple of weeks ago, my mate & colleague Shaun Trennery came to me and said he had a brain wave about a new project. He wanted to put together a site that allowed us to interview regular South African’s like you and me, about our lives in South Africa, and what makes us happy [...]
