Unbelievable Case of Concealment

On October 29, 2010, information was received from Air Canada Corporate Security regarding a possible impostor on a flight originating from Hong Kong.  The passenger in question was observed at the beginning of the flight to be an elderly Caucasian male who appeared to have young looking hands.  During the flight the subject attended the washroom and emerged an Asian male that appeared to in his early 20’s.

China Mall Fire

I haven’t been to China mall in ages, as I didn’t really need any plastic / electronic junk :P Neither did I crave cat meat fried in motor oil. This morning over the radio I heard there was a fire that destroyed more than 40 stores!


It was also quite a scene when the fire reached on of he shops that stocked fireworks, and people on the M1 stopped to take photos. Wish I could see some of those, however sad this is. I just hope no one got seriously injured.

If you have photos, or have seen some, please share!! I just found this video at Times LIVE:

Instead of giving a lengthy update of what I have been up to lately, and why haven’t posted for such a long time, here are a couple of random photos which I took on the run.

Dischem Burnt Down By Striking Workers!?

I cannot believe this complete idiotic behaviour. Where is the sense in burning down the place you work for, in order to get more money? How can that make sense to ANYONE?

Reason why I am making such a big fuss about this is because I used to visit this pharmacy quite regularly as it was a stones throw away from our offices. Pity they’re not going to reopen, however I don’t blame them with R20 million’s damages.

This Dischem store was burnt down on purpose by angry workers who were striking for wage increases. A gas bottle can be seen on the right front of this picture, this was set alight and thrown through the window. A colleague saw the damaged building on her way to work, and we went to look & take pictures shortly after. Later that day (23 June 2010) the windows were closed with wooden panels. It is said that this store will not reopen since the damage is too much – ZAR20 000 000 (+/- US$2 666 666.667).

South Africa In The International Headlines

Lately it seems that South Africa is getting a lot of international attention. Caster Semenya, Winston the homing pigeon, and District 9…

It started off with Caster Semenya‘s gender conspiracy. As most of us know by now the majority of opinions now believe that “she” is a hermaphrodite… I don’t have much on an opinion about whether or not a person like this should be allowed to compete. Yes, I guess it is not fair toward female competitors, but keep in mind that this is still a person – who did not ASK to be born this way. I think we should just try to keep this in mind, and search for the little bit of humaneness which still remains in us today. Read more @ The Guardian

Winston the homing pigeon got a short 2nd place (in my books in any case), where he beat the speed of Telkom’s ADSL… (No surprise here :P ) By the time that Winston had delivered the data card & the data had been downloaded, the Telkom download had progressed a mere 4%!! Aargh, South Africans cannot WAIT for a better connection!! Read more @ Daily Mail

And then lastly, but not least; District 9 – the very popular movie which was shot in South Africa, with a South African director, but which was also shown in the States. I’ve heard very good reviews about this, alas, I haven’t watched it myself. I’ll be sure to write a short review as soon as I have seen it! Read more @ District 9 – ABC News
