Meet Triton
Jun 30th
Heard about this at coffee this morning … so much for kicking that habit … I am on two cups today 
But back to the point !
Even our wildlife is feeling the Gees 
Triton is one of the resident White lions at Jozi Zoo and he loves playing soccer.
Hmmm maybe Bafana can use him… I mean who didn’t want to see Saurez ( the Uruguay number 9 who has a strong magnetic attraction to the ground) get chomped
Triton should be the unofficial, official mascot of the you know what.
He beats the Ayoba man and that spotty, green haired leopard hands down.
PS This is the only time Derek Watts will appear on this blog
PPS … you can so tell I have had 2 cups of coffee. Look at all the deranged smiley faces in this post.
You Won’t See This In British Tabloids
Apr 8th
A warm, proudly South African Welcome to World Cup 2010.
FIFA is ruling the balls-up with a studded boot, Malema has been learning democracy in Zim, the roadworks are in full delay, our mascot has a suspect hairdo, bullet proof vests are being flogged to the Germans and the Brit tabloids are happily spreading mass avoid-SA hysteria across their tiny island … things are really looking up.
In case you’re more into Bieber than the BBC, here’s the highlights package .
Malema sang a rather silly song. The song had lyrics that included ‘Kill the Boer.’ He was accused of hate speech and slapped on the wrist with a fine of R50 000. Good thing he has all those mysterious millions.
A few weeks later Eugene Terre’Blanche was attacked and murdered on his farm in Ventersdorp. ET ( not the alien) was the supremacist founder and leader of the AWB. It has been stated by some parties that Terre’Blanche was murdered as a result of Malemas hate speech.
Malema ( in his infinite wisdom ) sang the song again. He has denied all links between his sing-song and the murder. He is now back in Sandton, enjoying the aircon in the revolutionary building and swearing at the BBC. (Catch the press conference at TimesLive)
Tensions are running high to a soundtrack of Kill the Boer, Die Stem and Make the Circle Beega! AWB secretary Andre Visagie and Africa360 host Chris Maroleng are now one-hit wonders in Touch Me In My Studio : SA’s answer to American Idols “pants on the ground.” Simon is going to come knocking at any minute.
Foreign papers have leapt on the situation with glee and Britain’s “most successful newspaper” has happily warned world cup tourists that they will be welcomed to the South African bloodbath by machete-bearing locals . This is the one and only time we’ll ever see Rooney, Malema and Eugene sharing a page in the Daily Star. Cherish it.
I am going to rock up at the airport drenched in tomato sauce, waving a Vuvuzela so they won’t be disappointed.
So Britain, Germany and any other country currently drumming up bad PR for South Africa, there’s no need. We’re doing quite fine on our own. Here’s what we really do to our tourists.
You’ve been warned.
