Soos Naas gesê het, “en dis nogal witmense…”
By analogy, there may well be something to the tokoloshe’s ability to gain invisibility by swallowing a pebble after all. The ostrich does a similar thing. It also feasts on stones, after which it can switch on its invisibility by sticking its head in the sand.
Have you ever actually seen an ostrich with its head buried in the sand? QED.

No. It’s a myth. it originated from the observation that ostriches bend down to eat their heads from a distance are virtually invisible…
Awww… 0:)
Am I the only one who cannot express how much I hate facebook for enabling this type of fawning and slobbering? Sorry, feeling a bit …er, Spiky today.
I think this one is actually satire:
Their website gives that impression too: http://saads.co.za/
But of course, not everyone realizes this, giving rise to precisely the kind of hilarity these trolls enjoy… 
Now. This I find massively irksome. Not because of gay rights or modern locker room usage cause I don’t give a shit.
However, the logic. The appeal to emotion and outright shaming tactics used when logically the whole premise simply does not make sense.
A straight guy cannot saunter into a female changing room and when they get freaked out go “THAT’S WHAT YOU GET FOR OBJECTIFYING ME IN YOUR MIND! HA!”… and everyone would just be fine with that?
I thought decades ago we were coming to some kind of rationality on gender equality but I’ve seen nothing but mountains of hypocrisy and double standards since. It just drags on and on… and emotionally charged completely illogical argumentation such as the above does nothing to help this. AAARGRGGRRGRGH! People… can’t live with 'em!
Anyway, I’ve said my piece about how I would solve it before.
Thanks facebook, I have desk imprints in my forehead now.
My fok, Marelise.
I guess it depends… what exactly did this church do?
What all churches do: peddle nonsense. But the attack actually had nothing to do with that; it was just random looting and mayhem during a service delivery protest. No doubt, this Sunday half of the attackers will sit in their own Zionist or other Afro-fundie church, praising Jesus, getting sprayed with Doom and witnessing fake resurrections.
I don’t see then how they did target the right place, nor how random outbreaks of violence is productive in any sense.
Oh, I agree, but if you absolutely have to burn down buildings…
