Reflections and thoughts on day to day life and issues.
By Spliph, South Africa: Fashion and new trends are really messing things up, or maybe I’m just getting old. My little brother walked past me the other day and my life changed. After freezing in one spot in awe, I regained myself and watched the creature wander off into the distance. I then did what Moses did and retired to […]

By Spliph, South Africa: My detractors will passionately comment that I have no place discussing such a thing. I however am of a different view. Being a blesser is fundamentally based on the propensity to fulfill a standing stereotypical stigma. Quid Pro Quo. Granted other reasons to being such a provider filter from years of promiscuity and ill timed genital […]

By Cynthia Ayeza, Uganda: In a world that has long appropriated, supported and defended a vulgar masculinity, we should not be surprised when women resort to using the only means possible to attempt to defend their own humanity. Let not the world be surprised when women strip naked to appeal to you to listen. Were there other ways to appeal to […]

By Spliph, South Africa: It's a dim Thursday morning, musky. The air is thick with the smell of the night rain. As usual, after the rain traffic is quite bad. The cars form a seemingly endless queue along a normally free but busy road. The traffic lights are flashing a red colour signalling they are offline and at the T-junction […]

Cynthia Ayeza, Uganda: Is there such a thing as freedom of speech in this day and age? It is a myth! It appears to me that freedom of speech belongs to those who own the economy; those who are already in a position to defend themselves should they say something suable. The only other category of people who can exercise […]

By Cynthia Ayeza, Uganda: I do not know how to be colour blind – honestly speaking; even while growing up, some kids called me brown kindazi (doughnut) because I was a shade or two lighter than the ordinary Ugandan. However, I will say this: It is true that we should see each other as humans – brother and sister – […]

By Cynthia Ayeza, Uganda: How does one begin to write about accent or the issue of accents? We've called people snobs, fake, wannabes and so on, but what really is our issue with accents; why do they irk us so much? Growing up, specifically while in school, we had people around us that had travelled abroad and so acquired some […]

By Spliph, South Africa: I formed a page on Facebook, code name N.A.H.A.B meaning the 'National Association of Husbands and Boyfriends'. I thought it necessary to rekindle the NAHAB flame seeing that Valentine's Day is fast approaching. NAHAB was to be the vanguard in extraditing the injustices of Valentine's Day. Now, I have no problem with people falling in love, […]

By Spliph, South Africa: A discussion on why you should never open a Cyclists Toiletry Bag, Browsing History and guess who is Champ at Tattle Tailing. I always clear my internet history. Don't be silly, unlike convention would have it, this is not because I was surfing the web for motivating images. I clean my browsing history because my surfing […]

By Spliph, South Africa: A discussion on a Centurion's bowel movements, Parks Tau's unrealistic brainwaves and the happiness taxi-drivers feel on the Rea-Vaya lane. South Africa's public transport system is as efficient as a centurion's bowel movements – this has been my assertion for a while. I have also managed to maintain it for some time and I believe I […]
