Telkom Line Finally Coming

I applied two weeks ago for a Telkom phone line with ADSL since I will need the stable internet connection to better provide my Internet Marketing SEO service.

I was told that I would have to wait at least 21 days before the line would be installed so I was kinda forced to practice patience (which I have very little of) with my wireless MTN internet connection.

Today, when I was most frustrated with my darn MTN connection, I got a phone from Telkom saying they were going to send out a technician to install my line tomorrow… YIPPPEEEEE!!!!!

This call came immediately after I started speaking “French” out of frustration with a connection that was working fine one moment but then suddenly while opening websites or downloading my email, I get disconnected in between.

Now I want to see if Telkom will indeed come install my line tomorrow. I heard some pretty bad stories about their bad  customer service. I heard that Tel-Kom-Nooit-Nie..

Coloured Boytjie Turns Internet Marketer - SEO Specialist in Cape Town

Hey my China’s. Long time no blog hey. A bra was just very busy with some things in my humble lifeness.

I picked up a few skills this past few years which started with website design, but then soon thereafter I started getting into Internet Marketing (aka Online Marketing).

Now Internet Marketing is actually a very broad term which is the collective term of various Online Marketing disciplines such as Social Media Marketing, Search Engine Marketing (SEM), Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) and much, much more ekse… But I mainly specialize in SEO and SEM.

Now I still do some Website design now and then if it is actually needed, but it’s not my primary focus. I found SEO to be more intriguing than website design (although they go hand in hand) so I decided to start my very own Online Marketing business named Royal Web Marketing.

Ja ne, so now I got to meet like watse professional with some whities and coconut larnies to convince them that I can help increase their website traffic and get them listed in Google’s top search positions.

I will keep guys updated on the progress of my new business and of course my humble life in general.

Salute!

Hows burns in Delft... again!

This is the second time I've been a witness to a house burning down in Delft, Cape Town.

Well it's seems that the home owners didn't find much support from some community members as they have a reputation for covering up the crimes of their son who has been involved with burglary, robbery, theft and also rape.

He was also linked to another incident in which another house just a few meters from where he lives, was also burnt down after they broke into it to use drugs.

It is said that God has finally given them what they deserve after all the pain and suffering the son has caused to so many people and for everytime his mother covered up for all his wrong doings.

All I hope for is that they get to rebuild their home.

My New Christian Blog

Good day people. I greet you in the name of my saviour Jesus Christ.

I would just like to inform my readers that my new Christian blog entitled Christian Diary can now be found at http://christianboydiary.blogspot.com.

I use this blog to share my experiences as a Christian and also share some lessons I learn while reading through my bible.

I thank you for being loyal supporters of this blog, but the time has come for me to move on and change direction.

God bless you all.

Helping a Fellow Christian

God just gave me an opportunity to help a fellow Christian sister in need of encouragement. She is going through a very tough divorce and she sent me an email stating that it feels as if she has no more reason to smile and asked me to pray for her…

I promised I would keep her in my prayers and gave her some words of encouragement that I could never have thought up all by myself. I reminded her that divorce is a very sensitive matter as it goes directly against God’s will, but the bible also mentions that it is only “justified” when one partner has been unfaithful in the sense of committing adultery.

I also reminded her of the book of Job: Job was so perfect in the eyes of God that he gave satan permission to torment him. Job, who was the richest man of the east at that time, lost all his cattle, his riches, his ten children and also became very ill. His wife asked how come he still remains faithful to God instead of cursing him for bringing such hard times into his life and he replied that when God gives us good times we do not complain, so why complain when God gives us tough times? Instead of forsaking God, Job remained faithful and in the end he was blessed with the return of all his lost riches and was also blessed again with another ten children.

I said to this friend that instead of asking God why we go through hard times, we should embrace those hard times and worship him even more because it is through times like these that we are drawn closer to God. We should undoubtedly put our trust in Him. Take all our problems and leave it in God’s hands and He will give us rest.

She then thanked me and said I was a blessing to her although she never even met me, but I reminded her that it is not me who is the blessing, instead it is God’s Holy Spirit that has worked through me so I could have the wisdom to help her and encourage her to remain faithful to God and I as a mere servant cannot take credit for a lesson that God has written thousands of years ago.

It made me feel good for helping, but I should thank God for using me to help another Christian and she should thank the Lord for providing counsel through me and not thank me.

 

Life as a Christian

Hi people. My new life since accepting Christ has taken a massive turn. I no longer drink, read the Bible every second I get, my kids are excited with the new routine of prayer before sleep, I see things that others are blind to, my wife also got saved and I now have fear of nothing (except spiders), no one and no place... Now THAT is a wonderful feeling!

I will be sharing some of my new experiences with you people and also try opening some eyes with things that have been revealed to me.

For now I say good night and GOD bless.

ATM Bombing in Delft

The mense of Delft woke up to a loud explosion at about 1:05am this morning. According to my source people living close by were too afraid to inspect what caused the explosion and rumours quickly filled the air that it might again have been an ATM bombing as it sounded similar to an explosion that happened in the past.

Only at about 8am did my source confirm that it was indeed an ATM bombing. Police and Cash-in-Transit officers were present and it has not been confirmed whether the skelms got away with any money.

All this makes me think of a conversation I once had with a guy from Zimbabwe. He said he knows some of the people involved with these type of operations and also those cash-in-transit heists we so often hear about. According to him these guys are highly trained ex-military men and are heavily armed with strong underground connections. He also mentioned that some of these guys live in the Delft area and he was told if anyone ever gave him any trouble, he should just let them know and he won’t hear from whoever troubled him again.

Mense there are things happening right under our noses that we are unaware of and it’s scary what these people get away with, because in many cases they also have contacts within our Police force too. And why are our cops corrucpt?... Because government believes that a starting salary of about R3 500 to R4 000 is enough for these men and women to risk their lives for the safety of others. Well I think government has a lot of re-planning and rethinking to do.

 

 

Coloured Boytjie now Born Again Christian

Hello people. I know it has been a while since I posted anything new. This has been due to a personal reform.

I have given my life to the Lord Jesus and devoted myself to doing his works. This decision will of course impact the time I spend updating this blog as I spend more time now reading the bible and keeping up to date with other things which I now believe to be important than anything I have ever done in my life.

So there you have  it. My life has been changed. Jesus is my savior. God bless all of you.

 

 

Paris Jackson pays tribute to Michael

Yor last night I was watching Michael Jackson's memorial service and me being a harde-gat coloured bratjie I mos don't wanna show emotion or chunk in front of the motchie..

With the entire line up of celebs paying tribute I thought Usher's was the most heart melting when he walked up to the coffin singing Gone Too Soon and had to stop for a while to control his tears from falling before he finished the song... that was until Michael's daughter Paris Jackson went to the mic.

She only said a few words, yet hers was the most powerful and I just couldn't hold back the tears anymore ekse! Yor I had a moerse knop in my keel and tried to hold back the loud chunking but couldn't stop the tears.

So now I think its time I pay my own tribute... Ou MJ my broe, despite all the kak that went on in your life I was always a moerse fan. My laaities might not know who you are now, but I'll make blerrie sure they get to know your music and the legend that you are... Salute my broe!

If Mandela Dies, Blacks Will Take Over

I’ve been trying to wrap my head around this for a week now. You check last weekend I was laming with my motchie, my one female cousin, my male cousin and his sister’s daakie boyfriend in Delft drinking three beers. The conversation somehow went to Helen Zille and that led to the daakie bra saying something that started up a moerse debate.

He said that the people of Khayelitsha have stored guns and other weapons and are waiting for the day that Nelson Mandela dies, then they will start a riot and take over South Africa, because “South Africa belongs to the black people” and no white man will at that time be able to come into the black townships. He also said that they will attack all white people in South Africa. What crap is that? Isn’t apartheid supposed to be a thing of the past?

He added that if he goes looking for a job one of these days, no company is going to tell him they don’t have work for him. He will just force them to give him a job, because “this country belongs to my people”. He will also just go into any shop and take what he wants without paying if he is hungry and won’t allow himself to be arrested, because he has a right to eat whenever he wants to... Now I look at this bra and wys him, “my broe where do you get that stupid mentality from? You can’t just expect to get things easily without having to work for it”

He then says it’s not a stupid way of thinking... “us black people from Khayelitsha and Gugulethu were the one’s that fought for freedom so that people like you can enjoy life the way it is today”..

I then ask him, “Do you know what happened during the days of the riots?” As I expected he said he never saw it for himself, but heard what his older family members said about it. I then told him that as far as I know, us coloured mense were just as involved as the daakies with fighting for freedom... we also had people die... I myself suffered the effects of tear-gas and having to run from school, because school ended early due to riots and men in brown uniforms sitting in Caspers shooting rubber bullets and tear-gas and the grown-ups around me and other kids fighting back with stones and petrol bombs, so don’t tell me our people didn’t help fight for freedom.

I then nicely excused myself and said I don’t have time to listen to such bullshit...

Criminals more rights than victims: Zuma speaks out

Ou Jacob Zuma wys yesterday that it is unacceptable that there is a public perception that criminals seem to have more rights than victims of crime. He called for a reassessment of the approach through which perpetrators of crime are granted bail.

All of us on the flats have all seen how one bra can kill, rape, rob or whatever else there is... what sometimes follows is that they get arrested, but then tomorrow we just see them smiling on the corner again, seeking out the next victim. Why?... because they know how easy it is to get bail and not long, dockets go missing and nothing ever comes of the skelm.

I’m glad Zuma sees how unfair this is towards victims of crime, but I don’t think only reassessing the grounds on which they get bail is all that needs to be done to change public perception that criminals have more rights than victims. I think one of the major things that should change is that if I for example vang a bra who broke in to my house or braking into my car and I moer the kak out of him, I shouldn’t be arrested along with him... Then he still gets the option of laying a charge of assault against me... What kak is that?

If a bra rapes one of my daughters am I then just supposed to leave him, phone the police and hope and pray they catch him after he runs away? No ways!... I’ll make him vrek, kap his bal af then phone the boere. After that they can ma arrest me if they want to.

So to Zuma... I was never an ANC supporter much less am I happy that you of all people are President, but I like the fact that you brought this issue to light and hope that you also look into the issues I raised here and not just the bail thing. Also I hope you aren’t just window dressing by raising such an issue and have nothing do about it. I say stop looking into it and make an immediate change.. maybe then you will gain my respect and those of others...

Flake: One bite and all resistance crumbles

Yesterday me and the motchie was talking about different chocolates. We realized that some of them were no longer in the shops, like I haven’t seen Rolo in a while for instance… Take Two is gone, Tempo is on it’s way out and so is TV bar I think.

We also talked about how different chocolates tasted now compared to a few years back. I mean Bar One was my favourite until they started making it super sweet (must be when they changed it from a 24 hour day to a 25 hour day) and Peppermint Crisp now has more mint in it than chocolate. Back in the day it had small mint pieces in it.

The there’s Flake… now this one hasn’t changed much and there is one thing in particular that stayed the same: One bite and all resitance crumbles…

What is should say, in Afrikaans that is, is “Een byt en daar is fokol meer oor nie”…

 

 

New cellphone law

As of 1 July all cell phone users, including those with pre-paid sim cards, will have to re-register our sim cards with our ID bookies and proof of address.

We have 18 months to do so or our sims will be deactivated. Apparently this new law is supposed to help fight crime. The new law also enables government authorities to eaves drop on our conversation, provided a judge has given the order. Whatever happened to our right to privacy?

I think this whole thing is just plain kak, but as with all other political decisions, we have no say and never really did and we can do nothing about it. This is the "democracy" some of us voted for ne! Don't you just wish you never voted for this government a few years ago?

Well mense you were warned and now ITS TOO LATE!

Eskom really fucking with us now

Yay the Energy Regulator granted Eskom a 31,3% price hike. Im now convince this mense are just out to milk us dry ekse!

Then again I said this would happen a few years ago already... On the day it was announced that we would host the 2010 world cup to be exact.

People thought I was befok when I told them that due to the world cup, all prices were going to increase and petrol would be the first. You see I gained some inside info a few year ago that SA government uses increase in petrol prices and other essentials to make more money to pay off the cuntry's debts. I know it sounds like a conspiracy but it true my broe!

All the price increases are happening just as I said it would and only next year will we see prices dropping especially in petrol and they will use it as a way to encourages foreigners to come to SA for the world cup.

Don't believe me? Then just wait till next year, dan ko se jy my weer..

Micheal Jackson dead

Yor. I switch on the tv this morning and what do I see?

Micheal Jackson is dead! A musical legend that all of us laaities wanted to be like... Until we heard of his alleged "love" for children.

But that controversy aside, the bra's music will live on forever in all of us, our kids and their kids even if they didn't live in his time.

I give my salute to his family and closest friends. And SALUTE again to Micheal himself: you was, is and will always be a musical soldier!

Im sure record companies are looking at the bright side: Whenever a music legend dies, he sells more albums in a week than he did in 3 months while still alive...

House burns in Delft.

Yay check here everybody mos probarbly figured by now that I always wanted to be a journalism person and we all know a coloured is a natural news reporter because we mos like to skinner and we is very curious-ahosity. So last night I got my big break!

I bump into my Delft cousin in Belville (well he almost drove into me) and the bra wys I must go home with him so we can lam with a beer (3 beers actually) before taking me home to the Plain. I check good shot corz I mos had a hectic day at work.

Anyway so as we drive through Delft we notice a moerse smoke ball and I wys him to follow the smoke signal. We reach the house and I immediately ruk out my Sony Ericsson K800i & run till almost in the burning house to take photos ekse! Yor I felt duidelik taking the photos and even more kwai when the people even made way for me to do my thing...

That lekka feeling immediately disappeared when it was announced that a woman's child burned to death in the house... Yor shame, that woman was crying ekse. Had lumps in my throat. I didn't want to take pictures of her to respect her privacy.

So there we just lost another child on the Cape Flats.

Severe weather warning for Western Cape

I just received an email from a friend who has a friend (that’s mos how the famous Coloured Connexions work) that works for the SA Weather Bureau and he has shared some inside info with me, so now I’m sharing it with my fellow Capetonians. The email goes as follow…

 

“Dear Capetonians

Trust the email finds you in good health and having had a restful weekend!

I have been tracking the storm systems since last Wednesday and is now in course to hit Western Cape hard, bringing gale force winds reaching storm strength at times, very heavy rainfalls of up to 140mm rain over a four day period and very rough seas with waves in excess of 5 to 7 meters and heavy snowfalls over high lying areas such as in Ceres.

 

There are at least four cold fronts on its way to hit Western Cape this week, bringing very cold and unsettled weather until at least Friday.

 

The first front is due to make landfall later this morning, bringing widespread rains and fresh to strong winds. Expected rainfalls in 24 hrs - between 20 and 30mm and winds averaging about 40km/h from the North-west. Snowfalls are not expected at this stage.

 

The second cold front, the most severe storm front to have hit Western Cape so far this year is due to make landfall tomorrow bringing gale force winds reaching storm strength at times, averaging between 65km/h and 85km/h mainly over the coastal areas, very heavy rainfalls of between 60mm and 100mm in 24 hrs. Rough seas with 7 metre waves are expected to develop during the course of the day, leading to sea foams being sprayed onto the coastal road just as had happened in August last year. Heavy snowfalls are expected from tomorrow night on Western Cape mountains and possibly over high-lying areas such as Ceres.

 

The third "secondary" cold front behind the second front is expected to develop and make landfall sometime on Wednesday, bringing further heavy rainfalls at times of between 30 and 40mm in 24 hours and further snowfalls over the Western Cape mountains as well as high-lying areas. Winds is still expected to bring gale force winds, but at a reduced intensity averaging between 55km/h and 65km/h. Rough seas with 5 to 7 metres wave is expected to continue.

 

The fourth and final cold fronts which is a weak cold front is expected to make landfall on Thursday, maintaining the very cold and rainy weather, rainfalls is not expected to be very heavy, between 5 and 10mm in 24 hours and gale force winds for the past two days will have abated already and switching to south-westerly, averaging around 30 to 40km/h. But snowfalls is expected to continue over Western Cape mountains as well as high-lying areas.

 

By Friday, the cold and rainy weather is expected to clear rapidly, giving way to sunny & slightly warmer weather for this coming weekend.

 

I will be keeping track of the approaching storm system and will inform you accordingly if there are any changes.

 

Have a pleasant day!”

 

There we have it straight from the horse’s mouth. Be warned, this is not a drill, repeat this is not a drill… it’s also not a skinner storie either… So get out the Old Brown Sherry en n’ ander man se vrou and start warming up ekse!

Salute till me next post!
