		<description><![CDATA[We have this whacky story in the paper today about how a guy sparked terror in the suburb of Beacon Bay when he started painting  messages in Chinese over bridges and other surfaces in the neighbourhood. Some people thought they were "gangster messages". Others apparently anticipated a Chinese invasion. So what were they? Well, they [...]]]></description>

I’m still battling the nicotine dragon I promised to vanquish years ago – he’s a much tougher old bugger than I ever imagined. Yes, New Year also had me vowing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There's a fascinating story on our breaking news blog - Xhosa’s white initiate (pic) - and in the paper today. Check it out. It concerns a young white teenager who has decided to join his best friend in the Xhosa rite of passage ritual in becoming a man. I think it's a real heartening story [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A while back a friend of mine Andrew Mogridge met up with some old-timers in Cambridge Location, East London. The old gents don't have much but they have music in their blood . Andrew set up several recording sessions in a kitchen of a township house and recorded what they had to play. The result [...]]]></description>

The State must step in and do something to help stop us all turning into wobbling blobs who will keel over at 40 from hearts so congested you could shove wicks [...]]]></description>

I’ve got to say I was caught quite by surprise at the Bok Fever which swept over South Africa in the days before the final. It [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here is my column for tomorrow's paper. WE have been running a rather unusual story which has emerged from a mundane theft case taking place in the East London Magistrate’s Court. Domestic worker Luleka Matwa was on trial charged with stealing R73000 from the well-known local radiologist Dr Mark Tarboton. The case was of interest [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We ran this sapa story in today's paper about how parents could face a R300 fine if they are convicted of smacking their children in terms of new legislation. Who will do the policing of this? Well, it would seem the children themselves. So the authorities will have to investigate every complaint by a child [...]]]></description>

Today Steve Biko’s family will have a formal memorial service for the late Black Consciousness leader some 30 years after his death. For the first time, Biko’s family and thousands of others [...]]]></description>

There is a view that this group of people has benefited most from equity legislation. Some feel this is wrong and was surely not the intention of these [...]]]></description>
