Karen Graaff, Stellenbosch University Numerous studies have noted that South Africa is an extremely violent country with high rates of interpersonal violence and homicide. Along with this, the rates of sexual violence are high, with a report by the Medical Research Council showing that 25% of women in their study had been raped in their lifetime. Although the rates of violence are extremely high in South Africa, the ways in which it plays out are similar in many ways to other countries. Around the world most violence is perpetrated by men, often against women, but to an even greater extent…
Laugh Quote “At every party, there are two kinds of people – those who want to go home and those who don’t. The trouble is, they are usually married to each other.”– Ann Landers Large Steps Son: Dad I failed my safety quiz Dad: What? How? Son: I missed the only question Dad: What was the question?!?!

Son: Well I said f*cking large ones but apparently that’s not rich Dad: You are such a dumbass Bet piss One night in a bar a man…
Earlier this year, I was diagnosed with anxiety. It was one of the lowest points in my life and I experienced firsthand how our minds have the capability of tilting the health scale of our physical bodies positively or negatively. A turning point for me was knowing that mental health is equally (if not more) as important as physical health. Yesterday night, I stumbled on an Instagram post of a 26-year-old beautiful lady who shared her experience with chronic depression. She disclosed that in April of this year, she slit her wrist in an attempt to commit suicide. Reading her…
Instagram users have taken to issuing “weekiversary posts,” where they diligently mark the duration of their romances. An article in The New York Times explained how weekiversary posts have the unintended – or very much intended – consequence of shaming people who are not in love. The article also noted that this phenomenon makes some doubt the intensity of their own relationship. They wonder why their partners are not similarly starry-eyed and gushing online. Some even admitted that this phenomenon prompted them to stay in relationships longer than they should have: they go on celebrating their weekiversaries, just to keep…

My Dear Daughter, A good friend of our family and an elder statesman said this often, “Let’s live our simple lives.” My dear this is a good phrase to bear in mind as you live your life; keep it simple and avoid complications. You are aware that your father is a student of the Mammy Wagon Philosophers. One of the philosophies they espouse on the back of a lorry says, “No Hurry In Life.” My dear, please, also bear this in mind and take your time to chase your dreams and aspirations with no great hurry to achieve them as…
Dear Dorothy, I was 21 when I married a man of 36. I had just graduated from University when we met and after a year of courtship, he proposed to me and I accepted. When I married him, he was very caring and loving towards me. In fact, he was protective and possessive. I put his possessiveness down to his love for me but over time, I have become quite uncomfortable with his possessiveness. It got to the point that he now wants to know everything I have been up to when I am not with him. I am a…
Holy Humour Grant me, forbearance Lord Pastor John and his council president, Mr Segun ended up in a heated argument over a seemingly minor worship detail. “I suggest we go home and pray to God to grant us peaceful hearts,” said Pastor John as Segun stormed past him into the churchyard. After worship the next Sunday morning, Segun greeted Pastor John warmly. “I took your advice,” he said. “I went home and said a prayer.” “Great!” said Pastor John. “So did I! I prayed that God would grant us both peaceful hearts and a fresh start.” “That’s not what I…
