The Toy Run

The annual Toy Run took place from various starting points in Gauteng, South Africa and thousands of bikers of all shape, ages and sizes with an armful of toys congregated at Nasrec in Johannesburg. Some of the thousands of toys collected on the day.Here's my baby, my Yamaha TW200, that goes anywhere...and everywhere.

Best President?

Jacob Zuma and his wife Nompumelelo Ntuli at the Africa Conciousness media leadership awards ceremony held at the Sandton Convention center.Jacob Zuma behind Kenneth Kuanda during the event that he was given an award for being the "Best African President". I'm not too sure whether he deserves it , He hasn't really done much, other than talk. So, I wonder how they justified their decision, maybe its just the case that the competition was really weak.

Casting Call

A model during a casting call for the Audi Joburg Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2010 Collections on January 20-23 at the Sandton Convention Centre.I'm no model... thats for sure. Don't fancy being one either. It seems quite brutal, they walk in to the room-all eyes on them, they get told to walk, they walk, they get told to go.
I felt real sorry for some of them.

Bullet Proof

Robert Steyn fires two rounds at the Safe Case vest with a R5 during a test.The test held at Gun City shooting range in Boksburg shows the vest created by Safe Case outperforms the police issued vest dramatically with it stopping all the shots from an AK47, R1, R4, R5, M16 and a Gurran.Theres a bit of a controversy about the quality of the police issued bullet proof vests, in a demonstration comparing the police issued vests against the Safe Case vest, the Safe Case was dramatically better, but in another test the police issued ones performed better, there has been talk of court action and various other allegations between Safe Case and BPT (the current supplier of the police vests). I reckon to put it all to rest the two parties should agree on an independent expert and do a comparison and get done with it.
