Today is Africa Day and Rosebank College students are showing off their traditional attires.





Africa Day, formerly African Freedom Day and African Liberation Day, is the annual commemoration of the foundation of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) on May 25, 1963.The Organisation of African Unity is now known as the African Union. It is celebrated in various countries on the African continent, as well as around the world.

Africa is known as the mother of human kind, and for that very reason is why every African has a certain type of warmth within them. Africa is beautiful and yet a diverse continent that houses the world’s kindest and loving humans.

Being an African is the more than just a feeling, its understanding that you were blessed with the opportunity of living in the heart of the world. It is said that when you are born in Africa, Africa is also born in you and so the love affair with your homeland begins

The Polo 7 GTI 2017 model is one car South Africans will not get over anytime soon. It’s basically the modern BMW 325i.s “Gusheshe” that our fathers screamed at with excitement in the 90’s.

The Polo 7 GTI is a beaut, one for the books to be exact. The paint colour, the LED lights, the rims, its whole look and feel will have its owner with a smirk, especially in traffic. With a four cylinder 1.8-Litre turbocharged direct injection petrol engine it kicks out 141 kW of power at between 4 300 and 6 200 rpm from the 6-speed manual transmission. The 7-speed DSG transmission kicks out 5 400 to 6 200 rpm. It should be faster than its Polo 7 Rline sibling. The variations differ due to technical differences in the design of the transmissions. The same applies to the torque values: the DSG delivers a maximum torque of 250 Nm between 1 250 and 5 300 rpm whereas the manual gearbox version delivers 320 Nm between 1 450 and 4 200 rpm. Fortunately, the differences in torque have no effect on the vehicle's performance. Volkswagen claims fuel consumption to be at 5.6L/100 km with the 7-speed DSG and 6.0L/100km with the 6-speed manual. The Polo 7 GTI accelerates from 0 to 100...

ADVENTURER WITH A STRONG PRESENCE.

Image
The all-new BMW X3 is a statement of unlimited opportunities and an expression of sheer presence and freedom. From the very first glance, it impresses with its athletic appearance and fascinates with an exciting driving experience. Thanks to partially autonomous driving and the intelligent all-wheel drive system BMW xDrive, it offers supreme ride comfort both on and off the road. It therefore redefines the benchmarks in its class and makes one thing unmistakably clear: there is a great difference in how you reach your destinations. With combined fuel efficiency of just 5.3 l/100 km, the BMW X3 sDrive18d takes you further off the beaten track or any road you choose. Not to be outdone, the BMW X3 M40d combines M Performance with diesel power – think 0 – 100 km/h in just 4.9 seconds and that’s just the beginning. Model:  BMW X3 xDrive30d Steptronic Price:  (from) R649 000 Engine:  3,0-litre, 6-cyl, turbodiesel Power:  195 kW @ 4 000 r/m...
