Such as very sad story. Got to feel for the family. Amazing to see the strength in them as they celebrated her birthday. Doubt that I would have the strength to have handled if something happened to my daughter. Powerful stuff.

Thanks for linking that update Voted.

If it's accurate, and the technician did not advise them of the potential threat of an electrical fire, would there be culpability/liability concerns here? Does indicate whether this was a Honda technician or an independent, but either way.

I see an electrical fault caused the fire in the Jazz. A faulty window mechanism was reported but not repaired because the part had to be ordered. http://www.ewn.co.za/articleprog.aspx?id=21429

I don't mean to be the "I told you so" guy, but I did call the MJ death issue within a day of him dieing: http://www.blabla.co.za/2009/06/27/michael-jackso… That doctor sure got some 'splaining to do…

The Vanilla Nurse story is tragically sad. I agree with Voted that most parents have probably left a kid in the car for a short while. Hope that they find out what caused the fire. Would be crucial info for all other Jazz drivers (with or without children).

We at BlaBla pointedly did not post about the Semanya issue as we felt that giving it any space here would be adding to the insulting and demeaning manner in which it was handled. BUT, I did your "…those other sporting greats Winnie & Julius" chirp!

Less said about the Boks the better. They were supposed to have the trophy in front of them for the kaka-haka on Saturday!

I also wondered about the temporary travel documents, surely something could be aaranged?

I as a parent feel very sad for Vanilla's parents, have we not all left the kids to continue sleeping in the car?

The Boks were simply outplayed and might have one foot on the plane and one hand on the trophy?

The performance assesments might not take that long!

Oh and when last did a South African "fall on their sword"?
