Yep RA and CA have been gleefully planning this pull out for months. Im sure players' health and welfare didn't even get discussed. I don't blame CA. I thought South Africa was an unacceptable safety risk before COViD-19. Well you are the SA social commentary expert in here. Wise move. Things are c...

Any space for the Eastern Province Kings?

Yes, it's an issue. Much like that toxic issue in South African sport that manifests itself in match fixing and murder. I blame soy milk. Deflection ain't going to fix the problem. Your cricket team has come a long way since the 40 stubbies on a flight to London era and your rugby guys are absolute...

Let’s take say, 12 South African men... at least 3 potential rapists in there - that’s just not cricket.
Jesus. Stop the raping, Saffas.

Big problem in impoverished communities here. Same in Native Australian communities I believe.

Play it in Oz in front of a full crowd of expats. Split the takings 3 ways. I would f**king love it. My eighty year old dad would love it. He probably won't live to see another Lions tour.

Came across this from 2018, the 100 year anniversary of the Spanish flu 100 years ago, celebrations marking the end of the First World War were cut short by the onslaught of a devastating disease - the 1918-19 influenza pandemic. Its early origins and initial geographical starting point still remai...

Would the threat to hedge funds not be principally the scrutiny brought to bear on derivative trading and casino type speculation? Or will this quickly be forgotten about and no substantive regulatory changes made?

Seems like Brexit has created more barriers and red tape for trade and doing business than being an EU member ever did. Saw a story in the Guardian about 500 or so firms looking to relocate to Europe. I should think that would be a bigger story and just maybe the UVDL is just a bit of deflection. T...

Where have the most deaths been ? We'll never really know. Estimates here are that 80000 plus Covid deaths have gone unreported. And we have the best record keeping in Africa. People die at home and no test autopsy is done. We will have a third wave on July when our winter arrives. Not begrudging y...

You’d almost say it’s been Dominated, right. You're in the mining industry I believe. Many Aussie miners in Africa as well. Western mining companies continue to play their games in the Congo. 5.4 million dead since WW2. The adventure didn't end with King Leopold. I have many Congolese refugee frien...
