The minister of home affairs departed for New Zealand last night - the plane was delayed, so she left only at 19h00. I miss her already - our house is not a home when she isn't here. This morning I did the weekly weigh-in (table at the bottom of ...

Gentle Surf

The minister of home affairs and I took advantage of the Easter weekend to spend some time with my family down in the Eastern Cape province. As money is a little tight at the moment, we decided to drive down. Being the avid statistics collector t...
