Material is Magical movie for the new Millennium

Material Movie starring Riaad Moosa & produced Ronnie AptekerMaterial is in a class of its own because it fusses so many different genres successfully. Oscar winning “Tsotsi” gave the world a peak into South African thug-life life on the streets of Johannesburg. Material is strong for very different reasons. The characters are quirky, sometimes funny and almost magical in their qualities. Ronnie Apteker, the producer has put together an excellent support team including a brilliant scriptwriter. Dialogue flows so naturally between the cast it is easy to taken Read More →

Joburg Internet Cafe workshop postponed

Nelson Mandela Square, Sandton CityDue to unforeseen circumstances I've been forced to move the date of the next Internet Cafe workshop schedules for this Saturday. The primary reason for this is that I've been on a short break in Uitenhage and on Sunday missed my flight back to Johannesburg. My car has been parked at OR Tambo airport for 3 weeks and I have to drive directly to Rustenburg from Tuesday till Thursday to deliver 7 talks to parents, teachers and Read More →

Are you also limiting your beliefs dating in Johannesburg?

Here's an email from a reader of this blog. This is a very good example of a limiting belief in the post-apartheid South Africa when it comes to women and interracial dating. It is clear from his responses that he has convinced himself that its true. Anyway read for yourself and post your comments at the bottom: "Hi ramon, thanks for ur blog. I find quite interesting. I have read books like the game etc but i dont think they will apply in sa. Given our history sa is a heavily polarized community and interracial dating is taboo. For example if Read More →

Blog Action Day 2007 – More efficient living in Johannesburg

A while ago I joined the Blog Action Day campaign and I wasn't sure what I may write about. However, as I'm in Durban, sitting in my hotel room, I'm feeling exceptionally relaxed. You see in Johannesburg the stress levels are likely to be among the highest in the world. Crime is one of the biggest culprits for the cause of stress and next to that I reckon traffic problems is a close 2nd. Personally I am extremely averse to being stuck in peak hour traffic and working from home is one of the best decisions I've ever made. Read More →

Photos of Snow falling in Johannesburg in 2007

Last night I came home from watching the movie Next. I was freezing by but off walking to mall from my car and back again after the movie. And only when I got home did I realise there were actual snow flakes falling and it was NOT rain. Anyway here's some photos I took around my town house complex this morning. I'd be keen to hear from anyone else who's experienced the unusual snow falling around Johannesburg.

Parking Karma in Johannesburg

The traffic in Joburg gets worse every year. In one sense its a very positive sign because there is a lot more money floating around although much of it is in the form of credit. Anyway I first learned about parking karma from David DeAngelo in one of many programs on dating and success in life. And more recently one of the teachers from The Secret also mentioned it. So I started incorporating it into my daily thoughts. Until today I could never tell if it was working or not. However, today I went to Southgate mall Read More →

Shirley, Goodness and Mercy at Market Theatre

Shirley, Goodness and Mercy at Market Theatre JohannesburgOn Saturday, 23 March, I was blessed to attend the stage production of Shirley, Goodness and Mercy by my friend and author Chris van Wyk. Acclaimed director Janice Honeyman adapted and directed the play. There was some tension in the air as most of the people audience was made up of people from Riverlea, a Coloured township south-west of Johannesburg. And since this play is a memoir, set in Riverlea, its very, very personal matter to Read More →
