QUOTE OF THE DAY

I come from Kwazulu Natal in South Africa and my mother asked me about the 17 corrupt cops that everyone in the world has got to come to Durban for.

When I explained to her, she just looked at me and concluded that educated people just want to educate each other. -- Yoliswa Mkaza, South Africa
