I am coloured. Even better I am a coloured Muslim (or mozzie as I am more fondly called by Caucasian friends) so the whiff of a book launch, by a fellow mozzie may I add, in a cozy book-store with yummy hors d’ oeuvres and three kinds of juices meant it was on [...]

Equinox – Outdoor Electronic Music Experience
BY CRAIG PRINSLOO
Forty minutes outside Cape Town and a short cut that turned into the scenic route, we finally arrived at Equinox, a bit late but well worth the detour. Driving through the entrance, the very first thing that caught our eye, was this magnificent dam in front of us, beautiful enough to jump in [...]

Elizabeth’s Story
BY LARA MOSES
To me charity is the acknowledgement of a need, whether it is materialistic or emotional, rewarding both the giver and recipient. It’s that hand-me-down t-shirt you see your housekeeper’s neighbour’s kid wearing four years later, or the extra cup of coffee you buy that friendly homeless guy on a cold morning just so [...]
Birds Should Be Banned
BY MISHQA ROSSIER
Birds bother me with their weird flapping motion and beady eyes, they induce a sort of shudder in me that Albert Hitchcock must have thrived on. They are just really strange.

Life of 20-something Year Olds: Living in Less than Luxury
Like most 20 something year olds, I have a low bank balance and constant urge to have a good time. This has lead me to avoid shopping malls and all the pretty things that live within, packing my home made lunch for work instead of walking to Wimpy (yes, my budget does not allow for [...]
Movie Review: I Love You Phillip Morris
Not being much of a movie person, I nevertheless had the opportunity to watch I Love You Phillip Morris last Sunday.
When I first read the review on Mail & Guardian newspaper this weekend I thought someone was crazy. But of course that was until I got so bored (not that I had nothing to do [...]
I want to be an indie rockstar
BY MISHQA ROSSIER
I want to be an indie rockstar. Well at least date one. The endless ooze of coolness, snug fit jeans and bed-head hair along with that British accent is the culmination of most girls’ dreams and bedroom walls (do kids even do posters these days?). The lure of fame and the usual sex, [...]
