Today on the Menage we gave away more tickets to Mahoota vs Vetkuk Spring Day Bash at Nasrec, so congratulations must go out to Rato, Kholofelo and Zweli.
Sanza reviewed RJ Benjamins 2010 album titled House Bound. The long and short of it is that he gave the album art a 4 out 5 and the music a 4 out of 5 followed by an overall rating of 4 out of f5 which is very fair considering that the album is that good.
As public service unions continued to mull over government’s latest wage offer, petrol pump attendants started their strike on Wednesday morning.
The National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (Numsa) members, from automotive manufacturing workers and panel beaters to petrol pump attendants, have called for an across the board 15 percent wage increase.
But the Fuel Retailers’ Association said all other benefits the union is asking for - including reduced working hours, an increase in minimum wages and the introduction of housing allowances and health benefits - boosts the demand to more than 80 percent.
The association’s Reggie Sibiya said, “Obviously that is not feasible because an increase in margin will lead to an increase in petrol prices.”
Meanwhile, garages around the country have assured motorists staff would be on hand to help pump fuel because it is illegal for members of the public to fill up their own cars.
Numsa’s Irvin Jim said not all workers will heed the call to strike immediately.
At many garages in Gauteng it appeared to be business as usual on Wednesday morning but with some attendant choosing not to wear their uniforms.
Today’s food for thought: What are the rules when a girl gives a guy her numbers? Generally there is 48 hour window in which to use that number but that’s just my opinion, continue our discussion below the thread.
