Just Might Get Me Watching Rugby
Not a big rugby fan (sacrilegious, I know) but I do fancy Matt Damon.
Maybe enough to see the upcoming South-African rugby drama Human Factor, where he’s set to play Francois Pienaar in his bid to lead the national team to victory in ‘95.
Another good reason to put this on your must-see list? Morgan Freeman has […]
The Lovely Miss Lira
A couple months back, Eish blogged about Lira and I started listening to her on my headphones at work.
Part Sade, part Angelique Kidjo, part all her own silk and smooth, Lira is dark chocolate, red wine and soft velvet to my ears! If you haven’t heard her, visit her website at Miss Lira, which has […]
Where You’ve Come From to Where You Now Are
This past weekend I was reminded of the challenges of leaving South Africa and moving to another country.
When I moved to Canada, it felt easy — I was young, in love and excited about everything a new country had to offer. But it was not without its challenges. Probably the biggest three being learning to […]
Reader Focus: Cookie (Not Cheffy)
As I’ve mentioned, one of my hopes for eLuckypacket is that we can build an online community for South-African women. Connecting those who are in the country with those spread across the globe.
Recently, when I read a reader’s comment, I noticed that she had her own domain name at michellematthews.co.za. Turns out Michelle is an […]
Baby Can I Hold You Tonight?
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!
In truth, we kind of skip over Valentine’s Day in our house because our anniversary is just a few days before and my birthday is a bit later this month.
But I thought I’d leave you with a very lovely and poignant version of Tracy Chapman’s Baby Can I Hold You?, sung here […]
Seventeen and Strong
Tomorrow is our seventeenth wedding anniversary. Yes, Dave and I have been married that long!
The past two years, with us both working full-time and parenting a toddler, have been some of the most challenging of our lovely marriage.
Challenging in the very best of ways because they have laid bare the solid foundation we built in […]
eLuckyfocus: Represent and Rage!
If I was 10 or 20 years younger and living in Joburg, I’d be having so much fun! Did I tell you I was delusional?
Seriously, take a look at Represent.co.za and Rage.co.za.
Represent coined the term blogazine to define the unique mix of arts and technology posts on their blog. And what an eclectic mix […]
Guys, Let’s Take Back Our Pride
In a recent public service announcement, Sowetan poet, actor and musician Zola implores his countrymen to stop raping the mothers, sisters and daughters of South Africa.
500,000 women are raped in South Africa a year. One can only hope that Zola’s words find their mark.

Doo Bee Doo!
It’s the weekend. Let’s take it out with a little Freshly Ground and their infectious tune Doo Bee Doo.
Love Zolani and Kyla in this video — they are positively luminous!
By the way, check out their website for more videos, details on the band, and stunning desktop art and screensavers.

Posted by elp admin on January 18th, 2008 under Arts & culture, From South Africa, Books, movies & music | Comment now »Back to School at Kalahari
Kalahari.net is offering specials on a wide range of back-to-school and varsity books. Need a guide to school readiness? An updated atlas? A Zulu primer?
And have those of you living abroad shopped online at Kalahari? I recently bought a DVD for my mom’s birthday and had it shipped directly to her in Durban.
The sign-up […]
