Which SA celebs deserve a lifestyle audit?

March 10th, 2010

We’re half way through the week and so much closer to the weekend then we were when the week began.

Just wanted to take the opportunity to wish Man United good luck tonight in their match against AC Milan, the match will be screened at 21:45.

ANC spin doctor Brian Sokutu spun his discs a little too quickly when he told Sapa that the reason why President Jacob Zuma had yet to declare his assets to Parliament was because he has “many spouses” and a “large family”.

In the wake of the row about Zuma’s failure to declare his financial interests and those of his spouses within 60 days of his inauguration, Sokutu went to creative lengths to come up with an excuse for the boss. But his efforts backfired badly.

Party spokesman Jackson Mthembu said the ANC “distances itself” from Sokutu’s comments which “were made in total breach of ANC protocol and also without any consultation with the ANC leadership”.

Mthembu said: “The ANC will rely on its disciplinary procedure to deal with whatever breach of ANC protocol which arises out the actions and statements of Brian Sokutu.”

Sokutu started the drama by saying: “We have a special case, in that we are dealing with a president who has a large family and therefore it is not easy [to declare all their interests].”

An announcement on whether Zuma will declare his assets is expected today.

So we asked the simple question: Which celebrities do you think should be subjected to a lifestyle audit?

ANC Youth League leader Julius Malema has accused DA leader Hellen Zille of being a “satanist” bent on demolishing churches in black communities.

“Helen Zille, who is suffering from satanism, has gone all out to demolish the churches in Western Cape,” Malema told students at the University of Johannesburg yesterday.

“She is exposing herself … people there will know they voted for a monster.”

Malema was reacting to an outcry by black religious leaders that the DA-led Cape Town municipality was demolishing township churches – while leaving shebeens standing.

Angry religious leaders met a delegation of 21 ANC MPs to complain about the city’s anti-land invasion unit, which has demolished churches in Khayelitsha.

When the MPs, including ANC chief whip Mathole Motshekga, and religious leaders visited the unit had just finished bulldozing a mosque.

Maybe Julius has a point, in the words of Kanye West “Helen Zille doesn’t care about black people”.

The driver of a 2008 Toyota Prius said his car uncontrollably accelerated to over 140km/h on a San Diego County freeway before a California Highway Patrol officer helped him stop the car, police said.

The driver, 61-year-old James Sikes, was not injured in the incident, which is another claim of unintended acceleration that has caused the greatest image crisis for Toyota Motor Corp in its history.

The incident occurred in the same county where an off-duty California Highway Patrol trooper and three family members were killed last August in an incident that brought the issue to national attention and led to the first major recall over unintended acceleration.

Sikes said he had received a recall notice to take his car into a Toyota dealership, but when he did, he was told that his car was not on recall lists.

On Monday afternoon, Sikes overtook another car on Interstate 8 near San Diego, and then the Prius accelerated beyond his control. For the next 20 minutes, Sikes sped 50km along the freeway, he said.

I know someone who wishes they were driving a Toyota Prius instead of a Mini Cooper…

Tomorrow we give you two opportunities…The first is to check how good your general knowledge is and take part in Tick Tock, give us a call on 011 88 00 992. The second opportunity is to give us your topic of discussion, e-mail mpho@yfm.co.za and lets talk.

Whats on your mind?

March 9th, 2010

The name on everybody’s lips today is Jub Jub. Our condolences to the families who’s children passed away in the tragic accident.

On Tick Tock we had Claude as our victim, he managed to get 7 out of 10.

Nelson Mandela has been accused by his former wife of betraying South Africa’s black population.

In a savage attack, Winnie Mandela said he had done nothing for the poor and should not have accepted the Nobel peace prize with the man who jailed him, FW de Klerk.

The 73-year-old said her ex-husband had become a “corporate foundation” who was “wheeled out” only to raise money for the ANC party he once led.

She said Archbishop Desmond Tutu was a “cretin” and claimed the sacrifices of Steve Biko and others in the fight against apartheid were being overlooked.

The comments were apparently made in an interview on Monday with Nadira Naipaul, the wife of novelist V S Naipaul.

On Monday she said: “This name Mandela is an albatross around the necks of my family.

“You all must realise that Mandela was not the only man who suffered. There were many others, hundreds who languished in prison and died.

“Mandela did go to prison and he went in there as a young revolutionary but look what came out.

“Mandela let us down. He agreed to a bad deal for the blacks. Economically we are still on the outside. The economy is very much ‘white’.

As Food for thought we asked you to off load what’s on your mind?

If I could,I would…

March 8th, 2010

Hopefully you had a super weekend and enjoyed the weekend!

Cape Town will have three clubs in the PSL next season after Vasco da Gama beat Black Leopards 2-1 at the Parow Park Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Vasco triumphed 3-2 on aggregate following last week’s 1-1 draw.

Jomo Cosmos have been relegated after a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Moroka Swallows in their final Absa Premiership clash of the season at the Dobsonville Stadium.

Today as food for thought: We asked you to add the finishing touches to the phrase; if I could, I would…

A Mthatha man was circumcised by two lovers after they found out he dated both at the same time, Eastern Cape police said at the weekend.

Superintendent Mzukisi Fatyela said the 39- year-old’s two girlfriends first stabbed then circumcised him on Friday night.

He was taken to hospital.

The women were arrested on charges of attempted murder and assault.

Hell hath no fury as a woman scorned, I’m sure this dude knows that without a shadow of a doubt now.

This is the last thing I would have expected from D’Angelo but I guess we all have our little problems; D’Angelo was arrested yesterday after he offered an undercover cop all cash for oral sex on an NYC street.  The worst part of it all is how much he was willing to pay for the service.

D’Angelo was offering to pay an undercover cop a measly $40 (R300) for a blow job. D’Angelo who was in Greenwich Village riding around town in his Range Rover, mistook the cop for a prostitute and was later arrested after offering her money for a sexual favor. Cops found $12,000(R88 000) in his SUV and charged him with solicitation.

Damn D’Angelo was holding 12 stacks and only wanted to pay a woman 40 bucks?? Cheap Skate.

Tomorrow is Tick Tock so it gives you the opportunity to take part and test whether you’ve got any grey matter between your two ears. Give us a shout on 011 88 00 992 to take part.

Tswakstikem!

March 5th, 2010

Today we on the Chill Spot we had The MotswakOriginator Khuli Chana as our guest, dope interview ad big ups on his many accolades and we wish him luck for his future endeavours.

Women (and men) – love who you are! Why? If you don’t, you are eventually going to do something crazy. For example, a Staten Island mom tried to get a boob job. And she got more than she ever imagined. According to reports, she now has four breasts! Now, this may sound sexy to some of you, but she’s not happy about it. She is suing Dr. Keith Berman of Staten Island for $5 million in damages for giving her those extra boobies. But the saddest part of it is that she’s in pain and basically deformed. Crazy! The doctor claims he warned of the risk and she went on with it. Just stick with what God gave you.

Award-winning singer Robin Thicke is heading to South Africa to raise funds for earthquake-struck Haiti.

The 32-year-old Lost Without You singer will perform on April 2 at Gallagher Estate, Midrand.

Thicke, who is also a songwriter and composer of hits by other popular artists, is also to host a dinner at Johannesburg’s Melrose Arch to raise money.

About 5000 tickets will be available for the concert.

The SABC, official broadcaster of the FIFA 2010 World Cup, invites fellow South Africans to write a song in support of Bafana Bafana that will inspire the team to great heights and become the anthem of a nation on the brink of greatness.

All SABC platforms, both radio and television have committed to supporting this initiative, which has opened for entries and closes at midnight on 2 April 2010.

Either then that, have a great weekend and don’t do anything we wouldn’t do although that doesn’t leave you with much.

Friend or Foe?

March 4th, 2010

On Tick Tock to day we had Tsholofelo as our victim, or rather he almost victimised us by getting a very good score…Tsholo got 8 out of 10 which is a very good effort in my book.

As per the usual on Thursdays we give you the opportunity to have your topic discussed between 11:00 and 11:30. Today topic was rather tricky. If your partner were to cheat with your best friend and you had to choose one of them to remain close to you, who would it be? The best friend or your partner and you have to choose one?

South Africa 1 – 1 Namibia

A goal 20 minutes from time, netted by Katlego Mphela, saved Bafana Bafana blushes and earned the World Cup hosts a 1-1 draw against Namibia in a friendly international played at the Moses Mabhida Stadium on Wednesday night.

The match against their 109th world ranked neighbours produced more questions than answers for Parreira. Bafana started to toy with Namibia from the start, but showboating does not win games.

Bafana were not helped by a referee from Malawi called Dennis Nguluwe, who looked overawed by the occasion.

Parreira, who will name the squad that will travel to Brazil this weekend on Thursday, must be a worried man. At least the face-saving draw means he goes to Brazil unbeaten in four official matches. However, his only win was a 3-0 drubbing of Zimbabwe at the same venue in January.

Sad but true:

Two men in Russia died this weekend at a sauna after police say they dove into a pool usually kept at cold temperatures that was turned up to be boiling hot.

Police report that after relaxing in a sauna in the city of Kirov, the two men jumped into the water to cool down only to discover that the water was excruciatingly hot.

A third man was reportedly on the scene and tried to save the two victims but was unsuccessful.

Russian officials confirm that the men died of injuries caused by “overheating.” They do say however that the water reached the boiling temperatures “by error of one of the victims.”

One was the director of a nursing home, the other a director of a home for people with psychiatric  problems.

Sad, what a terrible way to go….

Be Warned:

Shops and the public should be on high alert for counterfeit R200 notes, the Consumer Goods Council of South Africa has warned.

The notes are believed to be produced in Lesotho. It is suspected that R1 million in bogus notes is in circulation.

The council has issued a statement via email that will assist in identifying differences between the genuine R200 note and the counterfeit version.

Michael Broughton, director of the Consumer Goods Council Prevention Programme, said banks would reject the notes.

“Retail stores lose revenue because people are spending money that is not real. Everyone should be wary of this and where they get their money from,” he said.

Tomorrow on the Chill Spot between 11:00 and 12:00 we’ll be hanging out with Khuli Chana, if you have any questions for him make sure you send us your e-mails on mpho@yfm.co.za & give us a shout on 011 88 00 992.

Half asleep or awake?

March 3rd, 2010

We received this e-mail from one of our listeners:

My boyfriend of four years (WE HAVE A SON TOGETHER) sometimes has sex with me while I’m HALF SLEEP. When I’m upset about something he consoles and holds me but as soon as I am almost sleep he does it and its like I’m there in and out but once I wake up fully I’m unsure whats going on for a second. I’ve noticed this happen a couple times so I asked why he takes advantage when I’m in a certain state and half sleep. He then says he doesn’t know about him taking advantage and that he was just trying to make it better. He also does it when I clearly state to him I had a long day and am very sleepy and tired and as soon as I am half sleep it happens. Once I faked being very sleepy and sure enough it happened. He never does it on regular day when I’m heading to sleep. Other than that our sex life is great but I don’t know what to do or think about the other things. HELP!!

Now, pretend you’re a Sis Dolly, what would your answer be?
 
President Jacob Zuma said he was not surprised by the UK press’s scathing criticism of his polygamous practices because Britons have always believed that Africans were “barbaric” and “inferior”.

In what could spark a diplomatic row, Zuma said those who did not understand his culture should engage with and not hurl insults at him.

“When the British came to our country, they said everything we are doing was barbaric, was wrong, inferior in whatever way. Bear in mind that I’m a freedom fighter and I fought to free myself, also for my culture to be respected.

“And I don’t know why they are continuing thinking that their culture is more superior than others, those who might have said so.

British papers competed for the sleaziest headlines on Zuma - who brought his third wife, Thobeka Madiba-Zuma, to the UK.

They ridiculed his big family and other sexual escapades - mostly prompted by revelations of his latest love child out of wedlock with Sonono Khoza.

The Guardian - which settled out of court following a defamatory article a year ago - even resuscitated his rape and corruption charges.

The presidential aides were more concerned by the vicious Daily Mail, which described him as “a buffoon” and “a sex-obsessed bigot” and claimed that Zuma has 35 children, including twins with a Ukrainian woman.

100 Days B4 2010 SWC!!

March 2nd, 2010

Today marks 100 days before the kickoff of the World Cup. The magical mark is a time for honest assessment of how much more needs to be done. It’s a time when South Africa’s preparations are stripped down to the nuts and bolts, the paint and the tar. It’s time for South Africa to show its hand.

But the journey to Soccer City has been a painful one. Ordinary South Africans have borne the brunt of a constantly changing landscape. State-of-the-art stadiums and hotels have sprouted, highways and airports have expanded. For the past six years, South Africans have lived in one giant construction site and have aged in the traffic jams.

The promise of June 11, 2010 will make all that pain worth it.

So far the highest scoring victim on Tick Tock has to be Jacob from Voslo who got an astonishing 8 out of 10,big ups to him.

As food for thought we asked the question: In the spirit of patriotism and the looming Soccer World Cup, how well do you think Bafana Bafana will do?

A Chinese college student fed up with his roommate’s snoring, has confessed to stabbing him to death in the middle of the night.

Zhao Yan, 22, was stabbed in the chest and back late last year in his room at Jilin Agricultural University in the northeastern province of Jilin, the official Xinhua News Agency reported Tuesday.

His roommate, 23-year-old Guo Liwei, confessed on Monday that he stabbed Zhao because of a dispute over his snoring, the report said, citing the Changchun Intermediate People’s Court.

Guo had previously complained to Zhao about his snoring and posted video of him snoring on a university website, which created more tension between the two, Xinhua reported.

Guo is currently awaiting sentencing by the court, the report said. Calls to the court rang unanswered on Tuesday morning.

Why didn’t this dude just move out of the room?

Turns out there’s a scientific reason to explain the appeal of women like Amber Rose, Kim Kardashian and Melyssa Ford. Looking at curvy women’s bodies has the same effect on men as taking drugs!

Men can get the same high from looking at a sexy, curvaceous woman that they do from drugs or alcohol, says a new study. The results may help explain why some men are so preoccupied with pornography, researchers said.

In the study, 14 men, whose average age was 25, were asked to rate how attractive they found photos of the nude derrieres of women before and after they had surgery to enhance their hips. The surgical procedures redistributed the women’s weight by putting waist fat onto their butts.

The result: The mens’ brain scans showed that viewing the women after surgery actually activated the regions of the brain that are linked with rewards, including the areas associated with responses to alcohol and drugs.

Fidelity expert Danine Manette says that bigger-hipped women look like they are better at bearing children, and men are subconsciously drawn to them.

“There is something physiological that goes off in men that attracts them to these women,” she explains. “It’s not something that they are even aware of. But when it comes to pure animal attraction, men go for the women who look like their bodies are built for reproduction.”

Manual?

March 1st, 2010

Happy Monday folks,hope you had a good weekend!

As food for thought we asked the following: If there were to be a manual for females and males, would you go for it?

Police in Malawi said on Sunday they were hunting down key figures in the country’s gay community after discovering “pornographic films” at the office of a rights group.

“We are targeting some prominent personalities and our suspects include legislators, priests, academics and other professionals,” police spokesperson Davie Chingwalu told AFP.

Chingwalu said police had been called after thieves broke into the office of a rights group which he did not name.

“At this hide-out, we discovered pornographic films, files and information about gay meetings. Our initial findings are that this office was patronised by a lot of prominent people and we immediately launched the probe to track down the gays,” Chingwalu said.

He said the suspects would be charged with “having carnal knowledge of any person against the order of nature” and “indecent practices between males”.

Homosexuality is illegal in Malawi and the country’s one known gay group, the Centre for the Development of People (Cedep), operates underground.

However, Malawi’s government does recognise the existence of gays and often calls on their help in the fight against the Aids pandemic.

Tomorrow is a Tuesday which means that its your turn to take part in Tick Tock, so give us a call on 011 88 00 992. Remember that Chumani has a R1000 wager if anyone can get 10 out of 10.

To dump or not dump!

February 25th, 2010

Today was your oppurtunity to send us your topic of discussion.We got a topic from Anonymous who asked us whether he should stay with his girlfriend who is a born again Christian and she says that she does not see a future with him due to their contrasting lifestyles, should the man move on or fight for love?

On Tick Tock Wolverine was our victim and he got 6 out of 9 which isn’t too bad. My R1000 rand challenge still stands and anyone who thinks they can outsmart my Tick Tock question stands to gain a sum of money.

Chill Spot tomorrow, so tune in and find out who we’ll spending our Friday with.

Don’t do anything we wouldn’t do although that doesn’t leave you with much…Bye

Tribes in Stereo!

February 24th, 2010

Half way through the week and I’m already excited about the weekend.

Today as Food for thought we asked…What stereotypes associated with your tribe(Pedi,Tsonga,Zulu,Xhosa etc)do you hate? e.g. Xhosa’s are liar, Zulu’s are stubborn and Tswana’s are stingy.

Watch out for Chelsea vs. Inter Milan tonight, kick off is at 21:45.

This may just be semantics, but Fifa says World Cup tickets will not be discounted.

At a press conference at Sun City yesterday, Fifa general secretary Jereme Valcke said they had “reconfigured’ tickets, moving them from categories 2 and 3 (expensive tickets) to category 4 - the cheapest tickets.

He said only 11 percent of tickets had been sold to South Africans, and Fifa’s target was 20 percent.

“We promised (former) president Thabo Mbeki at the time that we would sell 20 percent of tickets to South Africans,” said Valcke, adding that to attract more South Africans to the games, more category 4 tickets had to be available.

He said that even though Fifa had made this move, it would still make the $423-million (about R3,3-billion) it needed to cover its costs.

Valcke pointed out that Fifa would not be giving away free tickets to fill stadiums. Every ticket would be sold.

Here’s alittle something that the guys will enjoy:

MultiChoice is considering broadcasting pornography and the possibility of creating new sex channels on DStv’s satellite pay-TV service.

“MultiChoice has been inundated with requests for adult content on DStv over the past few months,” Jackie Rakitla, general manager of corporate affairs at MultiChoice, told Die Burger on Tuesday.

“At this stage we’re merely doing research to determine the extent of interest in adult content, and we’re looking at the feasibility of implementing such a service.”

MultiChoice is using e-mails for market research purposes to test the interest in various broadcasting options, such as the broadcasting of “mixed pornography” (hardcore porn between 21:00 and 05:00 and soft porn between 05:00 and 21:00), hardcore porn 24 hours per day, or soft porn 24 hours per day on DStv.

Last but not least:

A Massachusetts man is facing cannabis trafficking charges after police discovered that he had a bed made of 102 pounds of marijuana.

Police pulled over 40-year-old Hung The Truong for failing to follow a traffic violation.

When he opened his window they detected the strong smell of marijuana and searched the U-Haul truck attached to his vehicle.

They discovered 17 packages of the drug inside a pull-out bed and 79 packages of the substance in a hollowed-out box spring.

His bond has been set at $2 million(R15 million)
