Goat bites four people


I was trying to think of things that might be interesting for you people as work is not so interesting. I'm not yet in the field, and so there's not much that is the typical working in Africa type news. I've gone for photos instead.
The photos here were taken by a little girl who hijacked my camera at a party. I was trying to be entertaining, and she was laughing, but I though you also might enjoy me looking like a silly.


I'm collecting headlines from the newspaper. It's not as spoddy as it seems - not a lot happens in Swaziland so people have to be a bit creative for what counts as news. One from the front page of the paper today is "Goat bites four people". In smaller letters beneath it explains that they were infected with rabies so maybe less bizarre and more passable as news, but still, that's going in the collection for sure. Another of my favourites is from page 3 of the national news "Man smokes zol [weed I think] and eats a dog." Another good one - "Deworming hiccups continue". Who knew that was a side effect! It can't be easy being a journalist in a country of less than a million people!
