MUNT’AI – take a trip into the heart of the Indian community
Now you know that we love to do whatever we can to grow the Represent*ZA revolution and it’s people and the love we have for each other. One of the cultures that we’d love to get to know better has to be the vibrant and fascinating Indian Community, largely based in the greater areas of Lenasia, Laudium and Forsdburg in Johannesburg… But you know us, we like to HOOK us up and make it ha…ppen and all. The guys from MUNT COMEDY have organised two nights of Comedy “Munt’ai” in the heart of Laudium and Lenasia for both the local residents and cool people like you. All you have to do is choose the show that you want to go to and then buy your ticket from Computicket for only R95. (Tickets are limited!) The comedy features Riaad Moosa – one of the hottest talents out there as well as a whole lotta other funny and brilliant comedians. Believe us guys, we saw Riaad at the Loeries, he ROCKS! But we know not everyone knows their way around this crazy city and surrounds, so we’ve made a deal and all for Represent readers and friends that may get lost. For R30 only you get to park your car safely in Norwood and get driven in booming taxi shuttles to and from the Comedy Evening. So much of easy. Just EMAIL muntai@represent.co.za to book your seat in a taxi – hurry up, places are limited! Please tell everyone that you know that would love an evening in the heart of the Indian Community – come on Representers, let’s share who we are with each other and have a good lag while doing it. We have 5 tickets for the comdey to give away and one free taxi ride – just email editor@represent.co.za with the following answer – name one of the comedians performing at the show.

Tom 072 231 28 09 EMAIL TOM WATKIN TUDOR JONES – THE FANTASTIC KILL World Champion MC WATKIN TUDOR JONES is back with a wildly inventive and hugely popular live act, and an album that reflects his multiple personas, musical tastes, and relevant and irreverent views on the world around him and us. WATKIN makes FANTASTIC KILL alternative hip-hop live show with DJ FUCK on turntables, sampler, chaos pad, and feedback machine. WATKIN has performed all over the world and has collaborated with such famous artists as Blacalicious, What-what, Nelly Furtado, and Patricia Lewis. 2Lani, better known as ‘the Warrior’ has been breaking down dance floors all over the Johannesburg club scene since as far back as 1997.

He is also in constant demand for high profile dance events such as Pretoria’s Sweet Sessions, every All Good event, the popular, monthly Movement parties & all of YFM’s birthday bashes. + KID FONQUE Since the far off days when Kid Fonque was messin about with downbeat and hip hop, legendary and original Liquid Lounging (now Lilo productions) picked up on the flavor and booked Fonque for numerous classic underground parties including More Togetherness and Bass and Blues. As nodding your head in chill rooms, 2nd floors & back bars in the Late 90s early 2000s was happening more often, a 2 ý year residency at 206 came his way.With a passion for music and a open environment to play Fonques taste and selection grew, instead of noddin the whole night you where finding yourself breakin, noddin, samban, and groovin to an amalgamation of sounds. Friendships and essential partnerships came from this open-minded playing; soon enough Troy (Inspirit recordings) would join kid on his musical excursions. Including a yearly partnership with G-Force at Rustlers called the Eclectic ride. A variety in styles and flavours started putting Fonque on main floors rockin’...

Lonely SA men fall for Russian Mail Order blondes
Thanks to Business Day for this insightful peek into the Russian Mail Order Bride phenomenon. This holiday we heard two real-life stories about South African men that have ‘imported’ their Russian wives – sadly neither of them had a happy-ever after scenario. We would give more details but we can’t for the life of us recall at which part of… the holiday celebrations the conversations came up (we had a great holiday). If something does jog the memory with the full spread we’ll let you know!:) “GULLIBLE men hoping to find love on the internet are at risk of being fleeced by Russian syndicates, a local dating website warns. At least three South Africans had lost $2000 after sending money so their “on-line girlfriends” could buy a ticket to SA, says Duncan Forrest, founder of DatingBuzz, which runs about 100 local and international dating sites. “A lot of men are quite gullible,” Forrest says. “The perception is that Russian women are desperate to get out. If there’s a sexy young blonde a lot of middle-aged farmers who don’t think the same kind of woman in SA would look at them think they have a chance with a Russian woman.” After two or three e-mails the woman offers to join her beau, and asks him to send $2000 to a travel agent in Russia to pay for a ticket. “On the day she’s due to leave there will be a family tragedy that prevents her from coming, and that’s the last he ever sees of his $2000,” says Forrest. It is unknown how many local lonely hearts had been broken by the scam, he says. The problem is international, however, and one dating website, www.womenrussia.com, publishes a blacklist of known scammers with the photographs they use and the e-mails they send. International site Reciprodate says more than 99% of people who use match-making sites are genuine, but it warns that criminals do prey on unsuspecting victims. Reciprodate screens all potential members before letting them join, and collaborates with law-enforcement agencies to catch criminals using its site for scams. One man in California was ordered to repay $737521 to 250 victims recently after posing as Russian women seeking marriage. DatingBuzz, which has a 63% market share of SA’s on-line dating market, refuses to accept subscriptions from Russians that are paid for by credit card, unless the person faxes through an imprint of the card and a copy of a bank statement to prove the card has not been stolen. It eliminates about 10 personal profiles each week that it suspects of being set up as a front for Russian syndicates. The...
