DANSHEEL KICKS ASS!!
THERE was Napoleon Bonaparte, Prince, Lenny Kravitz ... all needing low angle shots to make them look large. Or subjects bowing down to them. Dansheel Moodley (looking like an 1860 relic in that fine mod pic above) fits in easy with this top league. When not studying Sports Science at UKZN the young man is busy kicking butt in training as part of Sonny Pillay's karate school.
His dream of traveling the world and meeting hot chicks notwithstanding, the buff Dansheel has a driving ambition to succeed in life.
"I have a driving ambition to succeed in life," said Dansheel. (Ha ha, see we told you!! *btw, writing in the above style is highly recommended for journalism students loving a kick up their jacks by editors of serious newspapers for which trees are felled.)
As for you Dansheel, if we don't see you through the window we'll see you on a tree. Good luck dodging those girls falling over your feet!
WHERE IN THE WORLD IS LOGIE?
So a busy weekend was held by all - well a good sum of the all. Especially eThekwini Whitney Houston stand-in (they share a singing voice) Deputy Mayor Logie Naidoo.
If you've been reading, all three of you, you'd have gathered our Where in the World is Logie? campaign is gathering some steam. (Not to be confused with hot air, that's the city manager's department. If the DA-aligned press is to believed!)
Our intrepid Deputy Mayor was finally found at the tail-end of our Weekend Green edition at the East Coast Radio Big Walk on Sunday.
This proletariat parked with family-in-tow in the public parking area of South Beach and warmed up with the masses - under 20 000 of them much to public delight.
It's nice to see the city fathers walking tall with the people of the city and surrounds. Since former Indian President Amichand Rajbansi prefers TV, there's more room for Logie on the social scene.
A resounding success nogal, that ECR Big Walk. Avid Face Book-er Deon Govender clicked pics on his Blackberry and posted them on to his FB page giving couch potatoes like Rajbansi a bird's eye view of the day's proceedings. Durban's favourite Ravi R was behind the mic on the station's dial broadcast regionally on the airwaves, globally online.
It seems that much of the overtime on construction of the walkway extending from uShaka Marine World in the Addington area down to the Blue Lagoon and off to the Moses Mabhida Stadium - home to seven FIFA 2010 World Cup matches - was not in vain.
People could not stop admiring its beauty.
One hopes the rest of the beachfront area will be ready soon too.
The more clearer the path (to Logie, not FIFA 2010, where's my tickets), the easier it will be to find out Where in the World is Logie? (Don't forget to photograph him with yourself if you dare and upload pics on the Golden City Voice group on Face Book or e-mail goldencityvoice@gmail.com
BONELLA BURNING
A MAN burnt to death at Bonella Park on Friday, the Muslim holy day for prayer.
Not a nice weekend for his family and the community members ... some young men, it is believed, witnessed the incident of the blazing man.
It is unclear as to whether the incident was suicide or murder-related. Family believe the man spent Friday morning looking for Thinners.
The fact that the incident happened on Friday, when the Muslim community attends compulsory prayers (in Durban the women mainly pray at home) is also painful for many in the community.
Just days before the incident a huge khatham was held at an open-air field in Bonella, close to Sherwood's 45th Cutting and the Westwood Mall.
In depressed times, who knows, and who dare judge the stresses an individual feels and goes through. Many in the medical fraternity will attest to depression being an illness.
If not treated timeously, the situation is like a timebomb waiting to explode.
The victim of this devastating tragedy is believed to be in his early 40s, of the Muslim faith and has a child in matric.
One cannot comprehend the anguish the family will suffer. Counseling is needed and we at Golden City Voice urge the greater community to look out for tell-tale signs of depression and find ways of confronting it rather than hiding and pretending that all is okay. If foul play is suspected, we urge police to bring some closure to this devastating case.
* The man, a husband, father, son, was buried according to Muslim rites on Saturday after a post mortem was held.
