WESLEY SNIPES IS NOT SOUTH AFRICAN!
Wesley Snipes is now officially an UNDESIRABLE in South Africa. Don’t mess with us. We knew this guy was having us on. Let’s hope justice will prevail then maybe he’ll realise that you can’t treat us like idiots even though this may be “deepest, darkest Africa”…...
Happy 25th 702!!! Help them at their HOUSE PARTY!
Thanks to Rex for this info – in celebration of their 25th birthday 702 have decided to have a literal house party and are looking for volunteers to help them: “I heard something you may be interested in. 702 Radio & Habitat for Humanity are building 5 houses in Soweto at the end of the month. They build them over a period of 5 days and are looking for volunteers to help buil…d. Volunteers need to be in good physical shape, as they need to lay bricks, mix cement, throw bricks, plaster, paint, lay tiles etc. Previous experience not required, as you will be taught.” 702 site for more info. 702 Habitat for Humanity Birthday Build For our birthday this year, we decided to throw a house party! Last year Talk Radio 702 and Habitat for Humanity embarked on a project to build three houses in Ivory Park in time to present them to three women for Women’s Day on the 9th of August. Community involvement continues to be an essential and integral part of 702’s values, particularly as a means to understanding the needs of the community which we serve. This August, the station will once again join forces with Habitat for Humanity and four sponsors to build five houses in Soweto. The build will be in celebration of 702’s 25th birthday....
The APPRENTICE – see it with your own eyes
Well after bragging about seeing the APPRENTICE set in the city about 2 months before anyone else got to… we now encourage everyone to check the apartment out themselves – the ApprenticeTV series kicks off this Thursday on SABC 3 at 8:30pm with TOKYO SEXWALE in the trump seat. Eat your hearts out suburbians! Long live the city life! I remember when THE BLOCK aired last year -… I was so disappointed to see that the apartments were situated in pseudo italy cum Bali aka boring old over-complexed FOURWAYS – then again – some broadcasters always tread slowly and don’t like to admit to change… ouch. Then there’s other broadcasters that are visionary and like to lead the way – the good news is that the APPRENTICE apartment is smack bang in the middle of the Banking District in downtown JOZI… Well done guys – at last! You know we like to make the underground the norm!!! So we organised a little tour of the Apprentice set – we can’t show you any pics or give too much away but we can tell you ALL ABOUT IT!!! The apartment belongs to one very dashing young enthusiastic city property developer – the lucky man has to have the best pad in the whole city! It is situated on the top floor of a building that used to house the reserve bank – you can’t believe it’s up there. The boardroom – where the firing will be done – is on the groundfloor of another building nearby and has the most stunning boardroom table.. Tokyo is gonna love it! The refurbishing of the apartment was still being completed as we snuck around saying sorreee to workers on a deadline – however filming has already started – ladies – (and some guys) I got a glimpse of some of the contestants – some serious eye-candy is coming your way!!! And you know we have taste!:) Whoever did the interior decor has muchos taste too – wow – the finishings are impeccable – even better than any of the apartments in the Block and like the minds that chose the location – visionary. I used some of the most foul language known to man as i walked through the numerous palatial rooms – I won’t give it all away – but there is this round couch thang – wow – someone’s got to get funky on a couch that looks like a bed. The bathrooms looked like a wallpaper spread and the kitchen was Jamie Olivers dream. The clincher that caused the most shocking of expletives to pass my lips had to be...
NICE ONE! E-bay for handmade goods
Thanks to Stoffel our fountain of knowledge that always let’s us know what’s going on on the web. And he always sends us such fabulous things – sharpile mf’ethu. It’s a site taht sells all things handmade. Exclusivity! The only South African on the site is a company called Oddeity but they didn’t have any items on sale – let’s hope they’re sold out. If you make beasutiful goods by hand… and need to sell them, here is your outlet! Dollars nogal. “I like this new site Etsy.com – it’s sort of an eBay meets handmade goods shop. “Your place to buy and sell all things handmade.” Items for sale are tagged by materials used, as well as categories, and colors. There is also a geo-locator, and a fascinating time machine function, which allows you to see items that were just recently sold. Still in beta, the site look very good and quite promising. It’s a great place to find gifts you wont see anywhere else. ” Josh Spears....
