Oldest Man in the world turns 129...
(16 February 2012-FF News) Ai Kasumi turns 129 today and is officially 'the oldest man,' in the world according to Reuters...Ai Kasumi was born to father Haruka Kasumi and mother Hitomi Kasumi one hundred and twenty nine years ago in what was now known as ancient Japan...
In a telegraph letter to Footprints in South Africa, Ai says that the secret to his long life is two hours love-making per day when he was younger-all to say that has stopped when he turned 93, he jokes...
He adds by saying that regular excercise, constant motivation and gardening are some of the secrets he has to offer...Ai Kasumi has currently four children, seventeen grandchildren and nine great grandchildren...
"We should all have dreams for our father's and mothers to reach these ages..." he said...

WAL-MART
ON YOUR MARKS....
GET SET....
GO...
(16 February 2012-FF News) Wal-Mart is again in the headlines and this time it's for a good reason...Wal-Mart the world's biggest and largest retailer is set to invest R832 billion rand over the next twenty years according to Vice President of South Africa Mr. Kgalema Motlanthe...Motlanthe says that he had long conversations with the retail giant and after almost two years of talks-the first Wal-Mart store will be opened officially in June 2012...
Wal-Mart which will operate in South Africa will become the biggest brand in South Africa over-taking Shoprite and Pick and Pay...According to Bloomberg the retail giant has signed lease agreements with Massmart which will merge to form Wal-Mart South Africa...In saying so, the company Massmart will be owned by Wal-Mart and takeover operations for name change are already underway...
Pick and Pay spokesperson Mr. Gareth Ackerman says that Pick and Pay will not loose consumers and consumers tend to follow a brand name that sells...
"Wal-Mart has been making a ho-ha the last two years and till today not a cent has been invested in South Africa, and we are working with the competition tribunal to reject Wal-Mart's bid for South African soil..." he said...
When Footprints in South Africa spoke to members of the community there was a mixed reaction with some saying that Wal-Mart will introduce American brands to South Africa, whilst others say that the retail giant will not touch the iceberg because other retail giants have already built a brand name in the country....
That being said, Wal-Mart has pledged R433 million rand for the donation and sponsorship of school and university graduates in the next five years to salavate the appetities of the competion tribunal...
We shall wait and see...
