When journalist Toby Shapshak first broke the news of Tshabalala-Msimang’s death over Twitter, there were very few condolences on the public timeline.
People tend to have long memories when it comes to hundreds of thousands of lives that could have been saved had Tshabalala-Msimang and the rest of the Mbeki-acolytes rolled out antiretrovirals (ARVs) instead of [...]

The drive was atavistic.
Hunter-gatherer sensibilities trumped a millennium’s worth of progress as we engaged in a quiet war to secure, and deftly, the most well-vantaged space for our cars.
Parking lots bring out the moer in people.
And the ugly too.
We were all inching along; the tiresome stop-go-stop-go, mindless clutch control, memorising the grocery list by rote.

419 scammers are just no fun anymore.
I’d like to blame this on the global down-turn or something I could throw shoes at, but it could just be that some people aren’t quite inspired enough anymore.

i’m guessing the person who sent it is the person who posted an ad in my name using my email address (sent to my email to be activated-naturally i didn’t activate it) & then responded to an advert they probably placed, from my addy (just insert addy & submit response) disclosing info about me in ‘my’ response. In their reply, they asked how am I enjoying Egypt.
A week later the same occurred with a friend. They disclosed her phone no, & other personal info in ‘her’ response.
We ignored it, & over a month later, we get this email. She/he added me as a friend on gtalk-I declined of course. This person is desperately in need of attention.
So as sick as it sounds, it’s someone who knows us. This email seems to have been sent to whoever was on the halaqa mailing list.
We really should just ignore this psycho-who may well be reading this.

though of course there’s no discussion about who first stumbled upon it. ah, therein’s the rub!

That is a disturbing thought.
Somehow, I’m sure it’s some fool just bored with his life…

this is painful. sigh. they may look slightly manly? i take it that cute boyish looks in a male is a bad thing too? shame man, what happened to appreciating all of Allah’s creation etc etc etc – surely not doing so is worthy ticket to first class seats @ ‘hellfire and brimstone’

I have a number of concerns regarding this email. The first and most obvious is the ill-advised use of caps, which to me says the writer is more than likely a fuckwit who likes to shout. I would gladly contribute to the development of an autoflame app to respond to emails in caps.
Secondly, the incorrect use of terminology is suggestive of a degree of IQpaenia which is likely to be linked to a degree of bibliophobia. Are they lesbians or bisexuals? If they look slightly manly, does he/she actually mean they are transsexual or transvestites? Clarity please.
My main issue lies with the way the reader seems to have conveniently stumbled on the ads. I wonder if it may be one of these desperately seeking Shamila’s who has drawn attention to the site by “informing” us of its evils and therefore casting a wider net.
Besides, if any of these Karimah Carpetmunchers or Shaheeda Shemales were trying to connect, I doubt it would be your deen they would be interested in.

lol my boss looks a bit mannish, maybe she’s bisexual…i better warn my muslim brethren abdullah the IT guy and Haseena in accounts to stay away from her or be doomed to hell fire.

I worry that men who like to watch girls who like girls like their boys are being left out. They are making us popeyes.
So now I have another group of people to ostracise. I cant keep up.
