From time to time, I come across peculiar entries in the tender bulletins I read through every morning.

I thought I'd start sharing them with you:

From the latest tender bulletin on the Eastern Cape Provincial Government website:

Appointment of a service provider to provide and implement Residential Care Programmes to Children Awaiting Trial and Execution

That'll teach them!

...and they are going to wait for the adult criminal poulation to die off?

'TV porn judge pulls out'
The best one by far and purely intentional

Two headlines seen outside varsity on the same lamp post.

"Hospital turns away dying man"
"Dead man gets reprieve"

Western Cape Department of Education wrote:10 HARDCOVER BOOKS - 192 PAGE - FAINT AND RULED

It's a trap, Mr Solo.

Thanks for a good chuckle

There is a local tyre merchant: Marius Koekemoer Bande. The company that did his signage misspelled it Maruis Koekemoer Bande on everything from his shop to his bakkie and he is still driving around like that years later.

A while back The Sun had 'Win a goat' which I found strange since all other news papers give away cars, trips away, rubbish albums by bands desperate for the exposure. Still appropriate for the readership so can't argue.

Seen by my Mom when proofreading an annual report for eXarro:

"last year we mined a total of 1000mTonnes of coal for Eskom"
