Die sinspeling van Bruin-ou.com op Daily Sun se kwaliteit van nuuslikhede is amussant, want ek moet toegee dat hierdie dagblad meestal skrikwekkende, ongelooflike en swak ontwikkelde nuuslikhede dra. Soms is dit ook humoristies, maar die beklemtoning van die negatiewe, onsedelike, en soms walglike is nie goed vir nasiebou nie, om nie eens van gemeenskapsopheffing te praat nie. |

He shifted his shoulders so that the frayed cuff-edge of his old blue suit rode up above his battered wristwatch exposing its weathered face. The glass had so many scratches on it that it actually appeared cloudy. He had to squint to make out the hands. He had been sitting here for just over six hours.

With roots in Durban, Mishack Harrison’s journey began as an adolescent aspiring toward greatness by competing in his local neighbourhood R&B and Hip-Hop Group Dance Competitions. These stepping stones were the gateway to Mishack discovering his untapped vocal & song writing talents as well as the first glimpse at his natural dance and
choreography abilities. These critical elements were the start to Mishack becoming the professional artist that we know today as Sha-Q.

Daar maak ek toe nou die dag die fout om die woord kleurling te gebruik, net
om vinnig vertel te word dat dit nie meer reg is nie. Ek moet glo praat van
bruin mense of, ironies genoeg, is coloured ook aanvaarbaar. Net nie kleurling
nie.
Ek is nie wit nie, ek is pienk. As ek ou Afrikaans wil gebruik, is ek
ligroos. Ek is ’n ligroos Afrikaan, Afrikaner of Afrikaanse, afhangend van
watter definisie van hierdie woorde nou die politiek korrekte term van die week
is. Daar is mense wat hul tyd bestee om al hierdie woorde uit te dink en dit ’n
identiteit te gee waarmee jy kan assosieer. Dis sodat hulle jou in ’n boksie kan
indruk en ’n oordeel oor jou vel sonder om jou rêrig te ken. As iemand rêrig die
verskil tussen hierdie woorde logies kan verduidelik, haal ek my hoed vir hulle
af. Ek is maar net wie ek is. As jy wil weet wie ek rêrig is, praat met my, dan
kan jy self uitvind.

(In case you did'nt know, government has set itself the noble goal of halving poverty by 2014. At the current rate however, with poverty doubling every 10 years, by 2014, if indeed government is successful in halving poverty, in the future, we'll be enjoying today's present levels of unacceptable poverty. Of course the government will pat itself on the back for a job well done forgetting that in real terms, the really poor people of South Africa are twice as worse off as they were before democracy. Nothing like cold, hard facts to clear through the smoke, mirrors, word and mind games which our government has become so adept at. All this reminds me of George Orwell's book, 1984. - Editor)
Severe poverty levels in South Africa have doubled in the last 10 years, the South African Institute of Race Relations (SAIRR) said on Monday.
A survey released by the SAIRR this month showed that poverty in the country increased "dramatically" between 1996 and 2005, said researcher Marius Roodt in a statement.
"Using the globally accepted measure of poverty, of people living on less than one US dollar per day, poverty has increased in South Africa, both in absolute numbers and proportionally. |

(His name is Mario Olckers...or known on Bruin-ou.com as Oblonski. He's got a degree in Political Science, is a prolific writer and blogger and was once in Burma where he became a Bhuddist monk! He's back in South Africa, living in Hogsback, a super-dorpie in the Eastern Cape from where he launches the most scathing, freshest, insightful blogging commentary I've seen in ages. This blog I can relate to personally having been involved in a very high-tech startup which sadly, came crashing down for various reasons which I'll explain in due time. Read on to find out what it's like for technology start-ups in South Africa today and why the system is so heavily skewed in favour of the pale male in this industry - Editor)
Africa, according to Chris and Martin from ‘Be the Creature’ (Animal Planet), is a place where “survival is always on display.” They were off course referring to the harsh and brutal reality of the African bush and the challenges faced by animals of all shapes and sizes. Also the relative sophistication in terms of their optimal placement in a challenging ecosystem. The relationship between being either the prey or the predator and your chances of survival in the African wild is something I will use as an analogy to describe the tech startup scene in South Africa, where I live.
