Maboneng is a good bet- it’s close to the most interesting parts of the city. You could also look at Melville, and Rosebank which is more upmarket (although the further north you go, the more expensive and soulless the areas are). Parkhurst and emmarentia are more suburban but still have the feel of old joburg so they…

durban is nice but it's mainly about the beach which gets insanely crowded this time of year. maybe inland will be nicer- a game lodge ? The African bush is the best

You’ll have an amazing time and like a commenter above said- everything will be SO cheap because the rand has tanked. You can buy pretty much everything that you could need in the cities, so don’t stress! I was in Cape Town in July and I love love love it

So this guy argues affirmative action is illegal in terms of EU law, because women (roughly 50% of the population) should make up 20% of corporate boards. That’s discrimination against the menz (?)

Ben’s new face looks like Marco Rubio’s. Which is a lot worse than a phoenix tattoo

Ted Cruz fan fic :/ My uterus is the size of a raisin after reading that :(

That’s exactly the system we have in SA actually - it’s in the judgement. The appeals court was barred from making a finding of fact- basically, they had to stick to Judge Masipa’s finding of what happened. That’s why they couldn’t accept the prosecution’s version, that he went after Reeva following a fight. She had…

Erin, your voice will be so missed by us readers :( your writing is so sharp, insightful and funny. You are the reason I read jezebel

I mean you could apply this to most DJs so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

You are my hero <3

It probably was ivanka tbh

Snake Person, I just wanted to let you know that this comment and your username made me collapse with laughter and your comments are always on point

Damn, your comments in this thread are on fire!

Did you just... call Soweto a country?

It’s difficult to judge. As a white South African I know that much of the criticism any ANC politician receives is motivated by racism- “he speaks badly” etc. That said, I think the Zuma penis pictures are motivated by the fact that he is probably a rapist, and definitely homophobic and misogynist.

Oh my goodness

Where I am (South Africa) the difference is in the way a person misrepresents themself. It isn’t held to be rape if a man pretends to be, for example, a rich CEO but is actually a fast food worker at minimum wage. But it is rape if he pretends to be a different person altogether, like his own twin brother. Basically ,…

Counterpoint: Ana Ivanovic ;)

It’s not strictly true that Pistorius wasn’t convicted for the killing itself. He was found guilty of culpable homicide, a lesser conviction for any murder charge. I believe it’s analogous to second degree murder in the UK, or manslaughter in the US.
