Another feather in the cap of Christianity

By 6000 | 6000 | May 23, 2012

Some bloke paints a painting which some other people don’t like, how should you respond? Let’s ask Nazareth Baptist (Shembe) Church spokesman Enoch Mthembu, shall we?

Road Closures for the Opening of Parliament 2011

By 6000 | 6000 | February 7, 2011
