Please bare with me, I have a lot to say this week!

I must admit I tried to watch as much as possible but after maybe half an hour a day of trying I thought I would be found lifeless on my couch; cause of death – DBB (death by boredom!!!!)

So I gave up on that & thought I would just watch the “important” bits, the Thursday night presentation of the magic mushrooms for one. Their presentations were ok, nothing to write home about. But two things did stand out: A) that Munya is one articulate & eloquent brother with a great creative eye (best looking mushroom by far) & B) that Thami did not once mention the World Cup 2010! OMG!

Fast forward more boring bits……

Biggie then decided to reward them with a party with Waxxy on the 1’s & 2’s! OMG!!!!!
What was once a land of Alice in Wonderland on an acid trip turned into a strip joint in down town Atlanta…, no, actually downtown Jozi!!! A few things stood out…

Mimi was on her salsa tip topped with a touch of Vegas impersonator.

Ricco dances like a girl at a club waiting to get picked up. Very scary! Nothing manly about his Shakira meets Turkish belly dancer moves! Give him a Brazilian weave (& wax), 10 inch glass stilettos, the tiniest yellow bikini & throw him on a beach in Rio and I’m sure he’ll feel right at home! *My mind is completely made up! Ricco is an immature narcissist with cross dressing tendencies!!!

Sheila’s a$$ crack!

Munya is such a cutie!


TK’s hotel tapestry jersey! Which he wore the whole damn weekend! (mmmm…reminds of another jersey that used irritate me royally!!!) Does he smoke weed? Cos he was rolling those “ciggies” fast and furiously, like a pro. There was actually a moment this weekend when I thought there had been a death in the BBA3 house. I kept thinking “Someone please check TK for a pulse!” that was until he let out a little grunt of discomfort and I sighed with relief.

And the piece de resistance (with a heavy nasal French accent)……Slutoya (as she has affectionately become known, lol)! She never seizes to amaze me! Initially I thought I liked her, well a week into the show not so much! I have to give it to her she dances well (Mental note: Next bachelor party have to book her as entertainment!) she danced the night away and managed to slip her tongue so far down Morris’s throat that I’m sure she was able to taste what he had had for dinner (eewww, wasn’t she complaining about a mouth infection of some sort?). I think she’s convinced she’s sexy, with her OR Tambo International forehead (ok, that wasn’t nice but I don’t take it back!). Anyway one man’s meat is another man’s poison.

Fast forward more boring bits, drunken talk, sisterly advise…PAUSE!

Sheila disses Munya for TK (YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!)

The Housemates receive their task for that evening’s presentation. The task – to Tell the world who they are! They clearly didn’t take it seriously, and the results of this would be visible later on in the evening!

Fast forward some more…Stop at Sunday night Live Show

As I patiently waited for the show to begin I have all sorts of visions as to how the HM’s are gonna razzle and dazzle us. Just as I was mid thought the show began.

AAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Firstly, where were the audience members? The place was so empty! But I though “ok, the audience members don’t make the show… it’ll get better”.

My “the glass is half FULL” outlook was quickly shattered!

The annoying dancers were back! This time they seemed to be doing a role reversal. The guys looked & danced like girls and visa versa!

Then there was a performance by someone called Zeus. WHATEVER!! If the dude is going to mime the least he could do is make it look convincing! And I just couldn’t believe that Stagga (the Don Da Da…LMAO!) is attempting a comeback. LMAO!

Where the hell is the production team!??!? The show looked like some low budget college project!!! Things did not run like clock work!! The awkward moments of silence, the bad audio into the house and I have to mention again…the damn dancers!!!!

I began to feel like I had just wasted my early evening viewing on a load of crap but I couldn’t bring myself to flip channels cos I just had to see the presentations. And they finally began!


AND HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS…,

Tawana – Cool dancing, I just kept hoping she doesn’t have a Janet Jackson moment and unwillingly flash the masses. But after she stopped dancing I thought she was going to do some sort of praise song or something of the sort….mmmmm…no cigar there!

Sheila – if she went out there thinking she could sing then DAMN! But if she went out there knowing that she can’t sing and did it anyway in the spirit of fun….then, good for you and your confidence.

Mimi – LMAO! She has got to be kidding me! That’s all I can say, won’t go into the finer details.

Morris / Uti – WTF! I was at least expecting them to be one of the few that entertained!

Lucille – I think she’s a rather special case. The poem………so WHATEVER!

Half way through their presentations I felt so embarrassed for them, I was cringing that there is no way it could get any worse. I thought it was humanly impossible! Again, my optimistic outlook was crushed!

Latoya – was she seriously doing Mimi’s make up? When she herself looks like frikken Ru Paul! Don’t know what Mimi was thinking letting her do her make up!

Tk – I thought he was an Mc? A) He had it written down, so much for free styling B) he needs to realize that he is no Notorious BIG and C) his swagger power is about 1%! Plus what the hell was he going on about!

Hazel – She tried to represent or at least depict who she is.

Ricco – is starting to really annoy me. After warning Uti against wearing the wig in the performance claiming that it was “so Richard”, he goes and does exactly what he had warned against. A word of advice to this dude…Be original!!

Munya – WELL DONE! Someone who actually understood the task!!!

And lastly our very own Thami – what was he thinking? Up until this point I have been very, very patriotic! But after his presentation my stance is starting to waver, unwillingly! I hope he had put a big tin of Zam-Buck or Vaseline next to the toilet bowel cos he is about to suffer the worst case of Ring-Sting South of India.

Oh crap, almost forgot the group effort. That left my jaw on the floor. It was the worst thing I’ve seen….let me leave it at that because I have nothing nice to say about it at all, not a single thing!

My synopsis: Munya is a proud Zimbabwean from Sunny Harare, Ricco is a drag queen, Morris is the village idiot, Uti is an obese opera singer, Tawana is a true blooded Motswana, Lucille can read, Hazel is Malawian, Thami has Indian blood and a threshold for firey orifices’, Mimi is Whitney Huston and U2’s Bono wrapped in1, Sheila is….eish, donno, Latoya has the talent of turning normal looking people into clowns with the use of colour palates and Tk just needs a reality check!

My conclusion: No one understood what the task except Munya (kudos to you), Hazel & Tawana!

Mmmmmm…is this a sign of the intellectual or intelligence levels?, mmmmmm….just asking.

Anyway, am absolutely looking forward to this weeks nominations! Finally!

Till next week…

P.S: My rockstar of the week is Munya, hands down! The big L on the forehead goes to the biggest forehead, Latoya!

Oh, and those pool cleaners! ROTFLMAO! Like the Moles they too will fail!!!

Hallelujah holla back

Stade de France consortium to operate Green Point stadium
(FIFA.com) Monday 25 August 2008


The Stade de France is one of the world's most magnificent and breathtaking sporting arenas.

And it was announced today that some of the French flair and world-class management expertise at the Stade de France will also be utilised to help run Cape Town's beautiful Green Point 2010 FIFA World Cup stadium, one of the tournament's semifinal venues.

A consortium of the Sail Group and Stade de France was today named the preferred bidder to operate the multi-function Green Point stadium in Cape Town after the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

Stade de France is a 80 000 seater stadium, one of the most successful and lucrative facilities of its kind in the world which played host to France's stunning 3-0 victory over Brazil in the 1998 FIFA World Cup final. Sail is the largest sport management company in South Africa.

The City of Cape Town will now negotiate a contract with the consortium by the end of October 2008. Once a contract is signed the operator will become involved before 2010 to ensure detailed design, planning and a seamless handover from FIFA at the end of the 2010 tournament.

"Finding an experienced operator was the most crucial element of this joint bidding process and we believe Sail and Stade de France are an impressive team with an exciting vision for the stadium," says Mike Marsden, Executive Director for Service Delivery Integration.

"They offer extensive experience and a successful track record in sport marketing, stadium operations and events programmes. This combination of international and local expertise is exactly what we were hoping for. We are confident of concluding a comprehensive agreement with them," said Marsden.

A bid was received from Investec Bank for both the naming and operator rights for the stadium, but the bid did not meet the tender requirements. The City is of the view that it would be more beneficial to offer the naming rights of the stadium once the operator is in place with a defined events programme.

simmy:
1.agreed, poverty level in SA is lower than much of Africa- but that only happened after apartheid
2. infrastrucutre is far ahead what u ll see in most of Africa
3. S.A is probably the only African country capable of hosting the world cup
however,
i ve been to jo burg and even tho the sites are impressive, most of the blacks don't have life standards above that of the Nigerian. sure, the roads are better, there s electricity etc, but its still the same ol' African crap. face the fact, the moni's with the whites!

I aggree that the money is still with whites,but looking at the possitive,in the last 14 years of black goverment things are changing at a normal pace.More blacks are claiming the economy back,we will get there but first we need stability,peace,healthcare,service delivery to poor and equal opportunity to all.we will get there.

SA hot destination for US tourists

Johannesburg - A recent survey by a top US travel magazine has revealed that American tourists rate Cape Town as their third favourite city in the world.

Thousands of tourists participated in Travel + Leisure’s 2008 World’s Best Awards readers’ survey, which placed Bangkok, Thailand, as the top city to visit and Buenos Aires in Argentina as the second favourite.

But numbers show that Cape Town in the Western Cape is not far behind. According to South African Tourism, in 2006 alone the province welcomed 145 211 visitors from the US. This was an increase of 19,64 % from the previous year.

The Americans also voted Singita Boulders Lodge in the Sabi Sands game reserve, adjacent to the Kruger National Park, as the top hotel in the world. Cape Town’s Cape Grace Hotel was placed 22nd in the same category.

As part of the poll, Travel + Leisure subscribers were invited to fill in a questionnaire and rate cities, hotels, islands, airlines, cruise lines, rental-car agencies, destination spas, hotel spas, tour operators and safari outfitters.

The different cities included in the survey were rated on characteristics such as the different tourist sights on offer, cultural and art attractions, eateries and shopping opportunities, and value for money.

The hotels were judged according to the rooms and facilities on offer, where they were situated as well as the restaurants and value of food offered by the establishment.

Other winners in the survey included Singapore airlines as the world’s best international airline, New York as the best city in the US, Hertz as the best car-rental agency and the Galápagos Islands, Ecuador, as the world’s best islands to visit.

All the 2008 winners in the different categories will be honoured at an awards luncheon in New York City on 24 July.

Impressive growth

Tourism is booming not only in the Western Cape, but in the rest of South Africa too. This is in line with the global trend of all-round growth in the sector.

Statistics released by South African Tourism indicate that foreign tourist arrivals in South Africa reached a record high of 7.4-million in 2006, which represents a 10.3% increase on 2004’s figures and exceeds the estimated 5.5% average global growth rate in tourism.

This figure continued to climb as the number of foreign visitors in South Africa grew by 10% from January to May 2007. This positive trend is reflected in arrivals at airports, which increased by 4,4% during the first five months of 2007 compared with the same period in 2006.

1000 000 injury free

Soccer City celebrates no injuries

August 2008, and work on the stadium is past the halfway mark

One million hours have passed in the building of the landmark World Cup Soccer City stadium - and there have been no injuries.
CONSTRUCTION workers at Soccer City, proud of being involved in building one of the most impressive stadiums in Africa, may have a chance to watch 2010 FIFA World Cup™ matches at the venue.

This was revealed by Danny Jordaan, the chief executive of the 2010 FIFA World Cup Organising Committee South Africa (OC), at Soccer City on Friday, August 15 during an event organised by the main contractors, Grinaker-LTA, to celebrate one million injury-free hours on site.

Jordaan said he would raise the proposition at the FIFA board meeting in recognition of the workers' sterling work on site.

"This is the best stadium ever in our country and we recognise your contribution. Some people have been saying that the stadium won't be ready by 2010 but the work that has so far been done proves otherwise," he said to cheers from the 2 400 workers.



Soccer City Stadium, formerly FNB Stadium, will host the opening ceremony and the opening and final matches of the World Cup. It is undergoing major upgrades and will seat 94 700 people when complete; the completion date is July 2009
"The roof is going up and 20 000 seats have already been installed," he said.

Addressing the jubilant workers, who were entertained by maskandi group, Khipha Kesh, the City's 2010 executive director, Sibongile Mazibuko, commended them for the excellent progress being made in the stadium's construction.

"You are the 'sweat of the nation', the team that will bring the World Cup to us. I am proud to say that in terms of construction and safety, Soccer City is leading the other nine stadiums that are going to host the tournament," she said.

Mazibuko urged the workers to continue to be vigilant on site and called for teamwork. "Each man and woman here should be more careful as construction continues and draws to a close," she said.

The National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) secretary general, France Baleni, also commended the workers for the safety record, attributing this to the good relations between the highly organised labour and management.

Sadly, the celebrations were dampened by news that a worker at Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane, one of the other venues being built for the World Cup, had died on site.

"We would like to send our most sincere condolences to the family of the worker who tragically died at the Peter Mokaba Stadium site today," Jordaan said.

"It is the first death recorded during the 2010 FIFA World Cup process and we learned of this incident with great sadness. We know the safety of all workers has always been paramount for all the construction companies contracted to build the 10 World Cup stadiums. The incident in Polokwane today highlights, however, the dangers associated with constructing these world-class stadia under very difficult conditions."

Thats funny,a real classic

A woman and a man are involved in a car accident. It's a bad one. Both
of their cars are demolished but amazingly neither of them is hurt. After
they crawl out of their cars, the woman says, "So, you're a man, That's
interesting. I'm a woman. Wow, just look at our cars! There's nothing
left, but fortunately we are unhurt. This must be a sign from God that we
should meet and be friends and live together in peace for the rest of our days."
The man replied," I agree with you completely. This must be a sign from God!
The woman continued, "And look at this, here's another miracle, My car is
completely demolished, but this bottle of wine didn't break. Surely God
wants us to drink this wine and celebrate our good fortune."

Then she hands the bottle to the man. The man nods his head in agreement,
opens it, drinks half the bottle and then hands it back to the woman. The
woman takes the bottle, immediately puts the cap back on, and hands it
back to the man. The man asks, "Aren't you having any?" She replies, "Nah. I
think I'll just wait for the police, "

These are the latest construction progress figures released by WBHO involving their major 2010 related projects IN June
