Bafana hocus pocus magic belongs in the middle ages, says a reader
the Zulu king who, with his brood, gobbles up taxpayers’ money and does precious little, if anything, in return. If his people want him as a king, they, and not the rest of us, should pay his yearly multimillion-rand budget. MM.
Sonjica: firstly she is our queen, we are part of the commonwealth. Secondly, we, the SA nation, do not have a king: he is the king of the Zulus.

percent less games than the other six top-ranked teams. Why? CSA are obviously too busy with other things to worry about the playing schedules and the paying public. D J UMH.
Pity Rob H could not say well done to the Lions. Always an excuse or a moan when the Sharks fail to deliver. Heaven knows the Lions deserved a break.

Lest we forget: I note with some distress that no mention has been made of the massive sacrifices that were made on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944. JP.
Unfortunately North Pier will only be open to the public when the bureaucracy running the port is changed.
It is shocking that a Comrades Marathon runner is attacked with a sjambok. It is also shocking that Comrades general manager Gary Boshoff seemed to show little sympathy towards the athlete. No mention about whether the police are looking for the assailant. Comrades Fan.
Who is to blame when there are certain areas of Stella Road in Malvern, which was getting retarred a few months ago, is not completely tarred along the entire width of this road, resulting in uneven surfaces at certain places?

Road works at Clare Road: come on, guys, coffee break (since Easter) is over. Can you return and finish the job? e.s.e.
Why all the bickering over the Chatsworth book? Yogin Devan would have had a mammoth task to feature all pioneers and this would have resulted in a volume set. Would you have then bought the set? Be proud of his effort because it all boils down to our 1860 forebears. Bomvan YWP.
I agree fully with Loretta Rajkumar’s letter regarding Kenny Kunene’s lifestyle. The one thing he craves and will never have is class. Barrie.
Daily News reported that it would take 82 years for the eThekwini Municipality to clear housing backlog. Ironically, many of those who live in shacks in squalid conditions in the eThekwini region vote ANC; this guarantees the ANC victory at least for the next 82 years.
I am from the city of Edinburgh, and I think Durban is fantastic. The beachfront is great but where are the benches for people to just sit and look out over the ocean? If I was in charge, I would have benches all along the beach from SunCoast to uShaka. If it’s too costly, do what Edinburgh has done in Princess Street: the benches there are memorials for loved ones sponsored by their families. Mike McDonald.
Thank you, Chris of CTC Cranes, for stopping to assist a stranded driver broken down on the right lane on a blind curve on the M7 with vehicles flying past on Wednesday. Faith in humankind is restored. Alvin.
