As the sun rises over a hungover Joburg, a motley collection of Lycra-clad racers are steadily gathering outside one of Joburg's trendiest pubs.
It's Sunday morning and the latest race in the Kinetic Urban Challenge is starting and finishing on t...
By chance I had Leonard Chuene, president of the ASA, keep me company on a long drive to Rustenberg on Wednesday. He was on 702 Talk Radio and it's the first time I've actually heard him speak on this issue.

My Nokia and I are slowly bonding, as I figure out its quirks and get to grips with its sophisticated technology. I'm even starting to like its pulsing light which bathes everything around it in a warm gentle glow.
On Friday we completed a right ...
Nokia's Sports Tracker service won the 2009 Best Something Award for IT Genius. So my feelings of frustration have mutated into a deep sense of shame and stupidity. If millions of other people around the world can co-ordinate their phone, get the HR ...
So ...
The new Nokia still pulses its white light, but it works!
I have just sweated and peddled my way through a spinning class, yelling instructions and desperately aware that I cannot cheat as my heart rate monitor is measuring my every beat...
