Sneakers, sneakers or sneakers
My daughter, probably like many kids of her age, has an absolute fetish about sneakers! I feel like an uneducated moron when I'm shopping with her and I don't understand the ooohs and aahhhs about what I'm looking at. To me they're just a lot of money with labels on them.
If you feel as uneducated as I do on the subject, have a look at a great sneaker blog, called myairshoes.com !Suddenly I'm a lot more clued up - I feel quite "empowered" to be able to add to the conversation!
Seriously, it's a great site - have a look at it!

Football Fever
I have very mixed feelings about this so-called "Football Fever". We live in a country where Life itself is not respected. People are killed for cell phones - or even for the possibility that they might have something worth taking. We have the highest incident of child rape in the world. Poverty is rampant and employment is a privilege. The nation won't rally around that - but they'll rally around a football!
There are those who say that sport is a vehicle for "reconciliation". (I'm not sure what, precisely, they mean by that - should we be reconciled to poverty, corruption, rape and murder?). Perhaps they mean "rehabilitation"....?
My problem is this: Is this country so desensitized to the child abuse, the gangsterism, the drug paradise and the indiscriminate killings, that the only thing they are willing to rally around is a sport? Are we a nation of delinquents? Is the only common ground self-gratification?
Hosting the Soccer World Cup is not enough to make me "Proudly South African". It's just another diversion from issues that are - and should be - extremely disconcerting.
I won't be flying any flags. Frankly, I hope that the most skilled team wins. It's a pleasant event and I hope that the whole world enjoys it; but it does nothing for my own sense of nationalism or national pride. It'll take a renewed concern for human life to do that.

Jozikids - the One-Stop Website for Parents & Kids
As you know, I have, in the past, reproduced newsletters on this site from Jozikids, to my mind the one-stop website for parents and kids in the Johannesburg & Gauteng area.
I'm delighted to say that the Jozikids website, and their regular newsletter, has grown to such an extent that it doesn't make sense to try to reproduce sections of it anymore. For those of you who haven't explored their website, I recommend that you do so now. It is jam-packed with information on where to go, what to eat, where to party, where to learn, holiday activities, competitions, special deals, informative articles and much more.
I recommend that you subscribe here to their regular newsletter, to receive information updates of holiday activities, special offers, competitions and useful articles.
The Jozikids website and their regular newsletters could well become your new best friend if you're a parent, especially if you reside in Gauteng.

Fact A Day
Interested in some statistical insights into life in South Africa? You'll see a widget in the right-hand column on this site, which will provide a fact a day. This service is provided by the Eighty20 Fact-A-Day website.
While some of these facts may be less than astonishing to South Africans, nevertheless they invite a focus for us to consider - and I've no doubt they'll prove interesting to our international visitors. I hope you'll all enjoy the addition to this site.

Want It All? S.A. Online Shopping Site
I've added a link under the Shopping section of this site to wantitall.co.za, a local online shopping site specializing in importing those "hard-to-find" items from the USA into SA.
It's not an affiliate program - I just think that it's a great site to be aware of. Pay it a visit and see what you think.

Who's Going to Stop the Crime?
Sheryl Cwele (50), wife of our Minister of State Security, Minister Siyabonga Cwele, was arrested this week on charges of drug dealing!
Nothing minor, mind you, the heavy stuff - and internationally.
The number of high profile figures in high positions of responsibility who are being - or have been - investigated for dealings in crime or corruption, leaves one wondering whether there is any hope of diminishing crime in this country. Not because the law enforcement agencies are incapable, but because, judging by the level of the people investigated, one wonders about the mindset of people towards crime. Have they accepted crime and corruption as a way of life to such an extent that it's become a culture? Are the protests by our political and community leaders against crime merely words uttered because it's the right thing to say, while the practice has become a way of life for them?
Is delinquency to become the ruling culture because of our role-models?

Comments on Old Posts
I must admit that it's gratifying to know that people are still reading posts that are a couple of years old! This month I've received two comments from a post dating back to 20th July 2007
Thank you to Susan and to Patricia for your comments!

Oops ... What happened to December?
It was late November and suddenly it's late January - what happened to December? I guess school holidays happened!
Well, back to the normal routines now, and I get to have the use of my computer again! So ... welcome back to those of you who thought that I'd fallen down a chimney somewhere. I'll wipe the soot of my face - and the jam / candy / chocolate off my keyboard - and get back to the wonderful world of the web.
For the duration of the school holidays, my computer became a 24 hour-a-day sound system / DVD player, at volumes I didn't think it capable off; but now it's back to its old self with speakers unplugged and a marvellous sense of tranquillity.
Hello again!
