Zuma is going to #PayBackTheMoney

After months and months and months and – you get the picture – President Jacob Zuma has finally announced that he is going to pay back the money that he owes for Nkandla. This comes after he said he had done nothing wrong and someone else less important than him was to blame.

Normally, we’d say bring out the alcohol, cheers a brother and let’s start dancing. But we’re not. Because it’s too late.

That and the fact that it’s not really sincere at all, is it? With a ConCourt date looming, and speculation that he stands to lose it outright, he had no choice. And apparently he said he was always willing to pay …

All we know is, come SONA 2016 next week Thursday, you can expect Julius Malema to be up and down like a jack in the box.

Best get your popcorn and favourite choice of drink ready.

Kim Kardashian and Amber Rose are like besties

Following the recent Twar between Kanye West and Wiz Khalifa and that infamous tweet by Amber Rose, the line in the sand was drawn. You were either on the side of the Kardashian-West’s or Rose’s.

That is until the two ladies decided to share a selfie. Plot twist!

The two have been at each other’s throats for the past year so it was surprising. But then again, who said you can’t bury the hatchet?

And besides, isn’t there the saying ‘pics or it didn’t happen’? Or #POIDH if you want to be technically correct. Because, you know, how else would we know that Kim and Amber are cool and everything is fine and well again in the world?

Thank goodness for social media!

Before Facebook, we did exactly what we do today

For a little less cynicism, it’s worth turning to a fun little hasthag we came across earlier this week - #BeforeFacebookI.

Firstly, it’s not a spelling mistake. That’s an ‘I’ at the end and not a lowercase ‘L’.

And instead of writing any more, we thought we’d rather let the best say it in their own words:

Ally Hirschlag - #BeforeFacebookI had to stalk my exes with binoculars and camouflage gear

Damien Cross - #BeforeFacebookI thought poking someone was innocent

Kabir Iyengar - #BeforeFacebookI would have to phone 538 people and let them know what I had for lunch.

The truth shall set you free. But, unfortunately, not before it can dent your ego.
