  1. Fun South African Fact: Lions, elephants and giraffes may not roam the city streets, but nature and animals are never too far away in South Africa. From vervet monkeys swinging through tree-lined streets in the suburbs and baboons frolicking around Cape Point to seals visiting the Hout Bay harbour in search of a fishy snack and an array of bird species taking to the sky at any given moment. Wildlife is all around!

  2. A Priest was seated next to Van Der Merwe on a flight to Brakpan.

    After the plane was airborne, drink orders were taken.

    Van Der Merwe asked for a Rum and Coke, which was brought and placed before him.

    The flight attendant then asked the priest if he would like a drink.

    He replied in disgust \”I\’d rather be savagely raped by a dozen whores than let liquor touch my lips.\”

    Van Der Merwe then handed his drink back to the attendant and said \”Me too, I didn\’t know we had a choice.\”
