Cape Towns attractions are both varied and unique. This weekend I will travel from windy Milnerton, to green and shady Pinelands, all in the space of one day. Firstly, my cousins farewell and then my girlfriends cousins 21st. All on my lonesome, little 125cc Vuka scooter. I look forward to it tough, two parties in one day is a pretty big deal. Lets hope the weather holds up.

As I’m sure you have all heard by now, our president was fired and replaced in a 48-hour whirlwind of idiocy, to be replaced by some puppet called Kgalema Motlanthe. From a foreigners point of view, one can only laugh at our situation. I would cry if I could muster even a dry tear for this broken government. Maybe, just maybe this is the shock we need to create a real first-world society, one unburdened by years of foolish apartheid-era decisions. Or Maybe this is how the end begins.
