You’ve got to love Pretoria!!!

At first I never wanted to come to Pretoria. I thought it was dirty with prostitution, high crime rates, drugs & alcohol, etc. Johannesburg and Pretoria used to be my best enemies; the mention of their names was a worse nightmare to me. You just cannot believe when I tell you how in love I am with Pretoria at the moment.

The Central Business District is kind of what I have studied about in geography (settlement geography) in high school. Almost everything is here; the skyscrapers, tar roads in almost every street, glass buildings, and the streets are in gridline form, the list goes on. It is structured nicely and perfectly.
One thing I love the most is the implementation of the free Wi-Fi. Tshwane Free Wi-Fi has made our lives easier. It is increasing our opportunities to find jobs, bursaries, to do our things online; quick and easy. It (City of Tshwane) was recently nominated as the best free Wi-Fi provider.
There are a lot of clubs around the CBD and Sunnyside; you get confused to which one do you want to go to. Almost every street in Sunnyside has a different clubs. It is really accommodating people who like to go out more often. I shouldn’t forget to mention a million of churches around Pta, I get confused myself on Sundays.

Now let’s take a short and quick tour to some various places in Pretoria

A lose is a big NO NO to Amakhosi this season

Kaizer Chief has made it clear through their consecutive wins that lose is not in their goals for this current season. They have found themselves and realized that they might lose fans and reputation they used to have.
They are the new mtn8 champions whereby they edged Orlando Pirates by 1-0. Tefu Mashamaite scored the winning goal. I am certain that they will go away with Telkom knockout cup. They are very promising and their performance is praised by almost everyone.
They have played 15 games and won all of them. Yesterday, 19-10- 2014, they have set a new PSL record for most wins in a row after beating Ajax Cape Town 1- 0. They are leading on the Absa Premier League.

Where is the truth about this Ebola thing?

Ebola appears to be a serious illness because it can be spread easily. HIV/AIDS is much better compared to it. We have condoms to protect us from getting HIV; we have ARVs to help treat the virus- now I call it a relief. It’s difficult and scary with Ebola because we haven’t discovered any cure or sort of a treatment. In the meanwhile, about 160 people are dying in a day. Ebola outbreak is most popular in 4 countries of West Africa; Sierra Leone, Nigeria, Liberia and Guinea.

Now, what exactly is Ebola?
People are talking! They are giving their own explanation. I've read somewhere online that Ebola is believed to be the results of bush-meat, particularly bats. Yes, we all know that eating bush-meat is popular across Africa but is this true? Some people on social networks assume that this hemorrhagic disease is scientifically engineered, like HIV, Cancer, etc. They say it’s a tactic the West people are using to depopulate black masses.
Basically, most people think that Ebola is a race issue.  Whites are saying this illness is from bush-meat and the Blacks say it’s scientifically engineered.

Life on the City

You should see the hectic traffic in the early hours of the day. People are moving very quickly from the train station, bus stops or taxis to their own destinations. They don’t even care about you; they will just roughly push you from pedestrian road intentionally with their big unmaintained bodies. You should just see those who are coming from the train, you would swear they were chosen; they have the same personality disorder. When you try to talk to them, they just ignore you like they don’t care, like you don’t even exist. These train passengers rarely speak to each other, I wonder why?

Now, listen to the irritating noise coming from the children who are going to school. Some will be filling your ears with their meaningless songs. You will find the other group of these ignorant learners shouting for no reason, laughing like they are in a competition of some sort. Others will be running as if somebody is chasing them. These learners though! Are they not well psychologically? Do they ever think of this distraction they are making in the CBD?

Oh! So now you think it will get better because you are in a taxi or bus? Hahaha...no! It’s only getting worse. You will find three big mommas with their bodies that actually consist of 99.9% of fat in the back seat of the taxi. Once they notice that your body is thin, they now want you to seat with them because they know they are going to seat comfortably and they don’t care if you comfortable or not; it’s just none of their damn business.

I miss this soul!
