ECOLOGY

COLOUR The blackest black and the rivalry it triggered. • Ah, Anish Kapoor and his beloved Vantablack. What a controversial topic, indeed. Let me give you the lowdown on this well-known feud as an authority on everything artrelated (or at least, that’s what I like to think of myself as).

COLOUR VANTABLACK • Vantablack – popularly known as the blackest black in the world, the rights to its use were bought in 2016, by British artist, Anish Kapoor. Dubbed Vantablack, the pigment was developed by the UK company NanoSystems, which specialises in nanotechnology and research.

Toyota’s splendid Vitz celebrates practicality, affordability, and fun. • This big-hearted little car targets post-Millennials who adore its funkiness, design and versatility.

The 2023 South African Car of the Year Winners

CITROËN C3 • At an introductory price of R229 900 that includes a 2-year/30 000km Service Plan and a 5-year/100 000km Warranty Plan the 1,2-litre, 3-Cylinder Citroen that produces 61kW and 115Nm of torque offers exceptional value and low fuel consumption.

Like a BURG-LAR in the night • Sometimes one gets caught completely off guard by a new artist, especially considering that so many new artists are appearing on the music scene. One of these is a young artist called Leo Burg who appeared on the musical scene like a breath of fresh air.

Who is the Weakest Link • It has become apparent within the workplace that we are playing a game of solitaire. Business leaders try to match the best people with the jobs available. This message often gets watered down further along the hierarchy.

Damning High Court ruling against homophobic SAPS • Total astonishment, disbelief, my cerebrum telling my eyes and ears what is happening here is not reality!

LGBTQQ IP2SAA+ • The politically correct alphabet soup devalues our cause.

The Gay Sense of Humour – “You can’t say that!” • “You can’t say that!”, just reply; “I already did”.

Straight Men who have Sex with Other Men • The term “straight men who have sex with other men” (MSM) is often used to refer to men who identify as heterosexual but engage in sexual activity with other men.
