Sunday World is South Africa's Fastest growing Website - at over 180% in 2009

Sunday World is an interesting print publication. It feels a lot like a soapie, it's somewhat tongue in cheek and often makes reckless but amusing statements (recently those on Motlanthe getting someone pregnant). I find it interesting how an African publication has hijacked - and I mean that word in a good sense - elementsof the Afrikaans language in some of their reporting.

Example Sunday World often talks about people getting moered. It's a progressive sense-of-humor that's good to see, and it would be nice to see other publication being less holier than thou and adopting some of the wordisms of other languages. Think what fun we could have with !Xhoisan if we took the trouble to figure some of those out.

If you've read any books by famous Nigerian writers, there are some amazing African proverbs that espouse great wisdom. I'll find some and post here when I can.

clipped from www.sundayworld.co.za Here are the reasons she gives for skipping Valentine�s Day and anything encouraging the unnecessary exchange of body fluids: You�re in control of the remote. You don�t have to live with that smelly mouth in the morning. You know the deadly breath men have as if something died in their mouths? But I disagree with my mate as love is necessary for a balanced mental state and for many other reasons: Love is great because you always have someone to bounce ideas off. But then, it�s even better when they are mute. Love does not judge, so you can act like an incoherent drunk at his parent�s anniversary and your partner will still love you. Try it and then cry � they fall for it every time. Love is amazing because you always have someone else who makes you feel safe. I still say an alarm system and electric fence are less dramatic than love. Hey, I definitely was not made to be without a mate.
