In the interests of promoting individual empowerment I would like to encourage our readers to enter the Sanlam I-Trade competition. Before I go on, let me just say that this is not a promotion for Sanlam, it’s something that I’ve been told about and that I genuinely enjoy. First,...... [view]

Zuma is the latest of many to bring up the possibility of reinstating the death penalty. Whether or not he’s playing to the crowds aside – I for one hope to never see that day for three reasons; The first is slightly arbitrary compared to the other reasons but on a personal...... [view]

Made with fresh Portuguese rolls, a spicy creamy sauce and steak, this perennial morsel is hard to get wrong but when done right, is an unfailing delight. Although...... [view]
