Gee whizz! The new European bathing suit takes the ‘speedo’ to another level.

Guys, could you imagine walking around with this skimpy piece on?

Ok, now the mind is thinking.

Next question: I wonder if you, chaps, can play volleyball with it on?


Number 2:

This story makes your stomach turn.

Gogo Nontuthuzelo four-year-old grandson goes missing and she goes in search of him.

According to the Daily Sun, when she knocked at 30-year-old nephew’s flat, near her own house, he opened the door only a little – but the gogo pushed into the room.

She found the room so bloody that she thought a pig may have been slaughtered.

Then she found the hand.

The witness who went into the house of horror told the Daily Sun Team they believed the boy’s heart and other parts had been eaten.

She said she heard his ribs were on one side, his head had been split open and even his brain had been eaten.

“There was even salt next to the basin,” said the woman.

Number 3

Expect to pay more for Jacob Zuma’s Nkandla homestead (Gupta’s sheebeen)


I never really know if I should laugh or cry these days when it comes to South Africa’s government!

According to the Sunday Times, the government is gearing up to lavish more taxpayer funds on President Jacob Zuma’s controversial Nkandla homestead, which has already been upgraded at a cost to the country of R246-million.

I thought we were still trying to get Zuma to #paybackthemoney, now we are talking about upgrades!

Honestly,  I can’t keep up anymore… it’s like days of our lives.


Number 4: 

Smart is the new sexy – and high heels get the thumbs down

I am sure even after watching this, women will still wear high heels as many of us suffer from the Barbie doll/Cinderella complex.

The saying ‘beauty comes with a price’ rings home here!

And no darlings, ‘not from within’ – as much as you would like to believe!


Number 5: 

Pony who could hardly walk

Ouch! This is just unbelievable – how long are those hoofs? I couldn’t stop rewinding the video to check them out!

This takes neglect to a whole new level.

But, a great happy ending to this sad story. #feelgoodFriday
