From Cape Town to Hollywood: SA Animation’s David Makes Box Office History

Some stories feel almost too perfect to be true, until you realise they actually happened. On 19 December 2025, a South African animated film called David was released in cinemas across North America. What made the moment remarkable was not just the scale of the release, but the company it kept. The film opened on the same day as Avatar: Fire and Ash, The SpongeBob Movie: Search for Squarepants,…

Your 2026 Horoscope, South African Edition

It’s 2026, which means the country has survived another December, another January reset, and at least one conversation where someone said “this is our year” with full confidence and no evidence. Naturally, we are back to asking the stars for guidance, because if astrology can explain Mercury in retrograde, it can probably explain why your life feels like a long queue that never quite moves. So…

Unspoken South African Rules We All Just Accept

There is a moment every South African has experienced, usually when travelling or hosting someone from overseas, where you casually explain something you do every day and suddenly realise how unhinged it sounds out loud. Not strange. Not quirky. Properly unhinged. And yet, back home, no one blinks. No one questions it. We just nod and carry on. South Africa is held together by habits we pretend…

Why Autoventure Is South Africa’s Go To Workshop for 4x4 Upgrades and Adventure Builds

There is something oddly comforting about walking into a place where everyone speaks the same language you do. Not English or Afrikaans or isiZulu, but the language of wheels, grit, gear and the strange joy of looking at a vehicle and thinking, yes, this could do more. Maybe it is a South African thing. Maybe it is human nature. Or maybe we all secretly want to believe that our bakkies and SUVs…

The Surprisingly Wild History Of Toilet Paper

Toilet paper is one of those inventions we take for granted. Nobody wakes up grateful for the roll in the bathroom. Nobody stands in Checkers staring at a two ply pack thinking this is civilisation at its finest. Toilet paper is one of those silent heroes of daily life. Humble. Ubiquitous. Ready to help at any given moment. But its history, my friend, is absolute chaos. Human beings, despite our…

A Wild History Of Smelling Human

There are moments in history that prove humanity has always been a curious, chaotic bunch. We built pyramids without cranes. We sailed entire oceans without GPS. We invented cheese, which still feels like a dare gone right. But nothing showcases human creativity and desperation quite like the long, messy road that led us to deodorant. Deodorant is so normal today that we forget it is one of…

Prince Albert Piercing History Fact, Fiction or Something in Between

History is a wild place. People like to pretend it was all serious faces, rigid manners, and polite conversation about the weather. But now and then a story arrives that drags the past out of its glass case, puts a drink in its hand, and says Listen properly because this is where things get entertaining. That is exactly what happens when the rumour of Prince Albert’s piercing enters a room. You…
