The Hungry Lions of South Africa: The People Killing The Country's Economy

"Over the past few months there have been a few activities of noteworthy mention in South Africa. Although these are quite generalised, they do affect and impact South Africa’s Tamil and Indian populations as equally as every other cultural group."

The Floodgates of Hell has Opened on Durban, Home to Africa's Largest Tamil Population

"The past few days has been absolutely devastating for the people of Durban and KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) on South Africa’s East Coast. Non-stop rains have caused massive flooding and damage to infrastructure. At the time I write this, 59 souls have been declared deceased from the floods. Last night, our government met to declare KZN a ‘Disaster Area’."

Young, Famous and African - Wigs & Swags

"The troll takeaways from this show seem to be Khanyi’s wigs and the obvious skin lightening where she has completely changed her skin tone and physical appearance. In my last article I raised issues on colourism in South Africa’s Tamil and Indian community. This is a reality across Africa. In my view, there are bigger things to takeaway from this show."
