Wow,  News24 have certainly played out of their boots in making an awesome little widget with up to date results from the 2009 SA elections.

Currently the ANC is just below the 2/3 majority, hopefully they don’t get it. 

View the widget below:

Wow, Nando’s is well known for its brilliant ads targeting relevant issues in South Africa and always walking the line with what is allowed and what isn’t. In its latest advert where it doesn’t necessarily indicate who exactly its targeting as they only mention him by his frst name, Julius, we all really know who it is targeting.

Now we all know who its targeting and in what for me is the 2nd scary response from the ANC, Malema warns Nando’s to retract the adverts all face a mobilising of force’s against it. This coming after Zuma is sueing Zapiro for his comics… Will we in a couple of months time see government take control of the media and stop free speach? The way the leaders of the ANC are acting it certainly looks like it!

I wonder how they dealt with criticism at school or do they only now threaten anyone who publically criticises them? Seems to me we have a bunch of ‘boys’ running this country who become very inmature when criticised, maybe their mom’s should have spanked them more when they were young!

As this is my first year of blogging I’m still getting use to all the norms and from the blogs I follow I see quite a few people summarising their year and making predictions for the next year. I don’t think I’m going to quite do that but will outline a couple of things.

First of all something I just read on TechCrunch is the logo that MobileAge is using for their iPhone icon, take a look and see if you can see what it really is:
Pretty funny stuff, wonder if the designer could see it or just had a case of looking at it too long he couldn’t actually see it.

Interesting video below on a new book ‘The toilet paper entrepreneur‘, I might place an order soon.

Otherwise have a good Christmas and New Years, I’m off for a couple of days – can’t wait. But in the mean time there are plenty of things to look forward to in 2009.

1) Launch of Allthingsmobile – my new site
2) My mate finishing the Cairo to Cape Town cycle race for charity – go donate now
3) The new SEACOM underwater cable coming online in June which will hopefully decrease prices
4) Telkom coming into the wireless broadband scene and possibly as a new mobile operator
5) The 2009 elections in SA
