Pippie Kruger is smiling! She is getting better and better everyday. We visit her at home.

She is smiling!

Every time I visit Pippie Kruger I can see an improvement – this time it was her smile and her eyes.

She smiles at me, playfully sticks out her tongue and even ‘kicks’ my butt.

Anice is so friendly always and jokes while she takes out special flavored milk from the refrigerator for our coffee.

Springboks vs All Blacks, 6 Oct 2012, Soccer City Soweto

I don’t do as much sport as I would like, but I was lucky enough to do this test match.

The All Blacks already won the tournament on points, but Boks supporters was hopeful of a good game after the Boks had a great game of rugby against the Wallabies last week.

It was my first sport being shot at Soccer City and hopefully not the last, as I think everyone will agree that Soweto has such a great vibe.

Helen Zille at Constitutional Court for Menzi Simelane case

Yesterday the Constitutional Court ruled that Menzi Simelane’s appointment as national director of public prosecutions was invalid.

Menzi wasn’t even there for the ruling, but Helen Zille of the Democratic Alliance was.

Luckily she was there, otherwise I would not have had any pictures for the paper.
