Two "respectable" ladies rented a room from a Thai landlady were found to have left it in an appalling state.

South Africa falls into recession following economic downturn

On Tuesday, March 3, South Africa's statistics bureau (Stats SA) reported that the country entered a recession in the final quarter of 2019. The economy contracted by 1.4% in the fourth quarter, following a revised 0.8% contraction in the third quarter, marking the third recession since the end of apartheid in 1994. In 2019, South Africa's economy only grew by 0.2% in real terms, following a meager 0.8% growth in 2018. The fourth-quarter decline exceeded economists' predictions as the economy grapples with the aftermath of load shedding. Weak agriculture output and transport were the primary factors contributing to the economic downturn, outweighing positive contributions from finance and government spending. Construction, mining, and manufacturing also added to the negativ...

Anthony Joshua’s Bold Prediction for His Heavyweight Clash with Kubrat Pulev

In a bold statement, the heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua, has pledged to defeat Kubrat Pulev in the 11th round of their upcoming clash in June 2020. Set to face the Bulgarian at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Joshua is eyeing a potential showdown with Tyson Fury later in the year. Speaking to William Hill, Joshua remarked, "He's been in the game for a while, he went to the top level and then he got defeated. So he knows his way around the ring. He's had his chance at the top level and now he's coming back again, so he's probably going to try and get it right." "I'll be expecting a more polished, smarter Pulev, and he can bang a bit as well. He's had a few knockouts on his record as well, he can bang and he can box so he's a boxer-puncher. It's kind of like what my sty...
