A video that went viral recently showed how cruel people can be when handling strays. So, it is heartwarming to learn that there are people out there who care to give these strays a decent life.

Some people have strange ways of fulfilling the last wishes of the dying – milk, sand and even gold. So, how about the dying wish of a man who will soon be nothing but a handful of ash?

IT’S been a miserable week. There has been rain, floods, a couple of days without proper water supply after diesel was poured into a river.

The crackdown on violent crime is long overdue and, thankfully, the cops have finally decided to play hardball – but there must not be an overreaction that could lead to innocent victims.

Violent crime is on the rise and even bigwigs are now admitting it. However, there could be hope – and it’s not so much from police patrols. The answer may just lie in unleaded petrol.
