His main opposition, Morgan Tsvangirai, has spent the last few days in the Zimbabwean Dutch embassy.

		<description><![CDATA[SABC 3&#8217;s flagship investigation program, Special Assignment, ran a story about rape victims in South Africa. Quoting from their website:
In South Africa a woman is raped every 23 seconds… and most of these cases go unreported. Of those that do, only 4% end in conviction. There is massive fallout of cases from the point of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=seanritchie.wordpress.com&blog=1614714&post=62&subd=seanritchie&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Several weeks ago, almost 500 students at Witwatersrand University attempted to get management to reduce annual fee increases. Many students were not pleased with the recently announced increases. Rumours of the privatisation of residences were also circulating around campus, adding to the tension.
A protest was organised by several student groups. It was though this was [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=seanritchie.wordpress.com&blog=1614714&post=14&subd=seanritchie&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Stardust is a fantasy movie which remembers that special effects do not tell a story.
Young Trisran Thorne lives in a little English village in the countryside. Bumbling and good natured, Tristran is desperately trying to win the hand of vain local beauty Victoria. When he sees a falling star he vows to retrieve [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=seanritchie.wordpress.com&blog=1614714&post=69&subd=seanritchie&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

It is really great to see students taking action about something that concerns them. Voter turnout for the SRC elections this year was practically an all-time low.

In Whitman&#8217;s classic poem a Captain manages to bring his ship to berth at the cost of his life. Thinking about the South African cricket team the opposite is true. The team has foundered again and again while its Captain has escaped unscathed.
The team&#8217;s performance last night against India was truly disappointing. We came in [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=seanritchie.wordpress.com&blog=1614714&post=11&subd=seanritchie&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

I went to watch Footskating at midday on public holiday. The multiplex was packed, kids running around, long queues to get drinks and popcorn. When I sat down in the cinema it dawned on me that whatever movie everybody else had gone to see it wasn’t this one.
