This is the second night we're being kept from sleep by howls, screams and eerie melodies played out on our apartment building’s plumbing. The Cape Doctor, the infamous south-easterly wind that rages in from the Atlantic, hasn’t shown any sign of dying. Our car sashayed all the way home from the cinema and the palm trees bowed to no applause.
Saw a film called Fahrenheit 2010, a documentary debating the wisdom of building new stadia for the football world cup while the country still lacks hospitals, schools and crucial services. My favourite quote had to be from Dr Danny Jordaan, CEO of the South African 2010 FIFA World Cup Organising Committee: "Our children can aspire to want to play in one of these football stadiums. No child aspires to go to hospital.
You've got to hand it to him. It's a little bit true. Wonder what he's a doctor of? My rands are on Spin.
