During the comedy show Rock Hart: Only Headliners, headlined by Chris Rock and Kevin Hart, the latter gifted his fellow headliner a goat named ‘Will Smith’ as a joke.

The ‘slap heard around the world’ went on to make the global rounds on social media, becoming a trending moment in international pop culture.

Kevin Hart who is known for making hard-hitting jokes, came out on stage with a goat as a present for Chris Rock. The joke was later made when guest Dave Chapelle asks what’s the goat’s  name and is quickly answered by Hart who reveals that the goat’s name is actually Will Smith.

This leads to the crowd bursting out with laughter, making Hart sarcastically ask the crowd what he said wrong.

In a recent interview with Jimmy Fallon, Hart does reveal that “Chris is a mentor, friend, inspiration,” and admits “he’s a large part of the reason that I am where I am today in my career just from his advice, his insight, etcetera, and he’s my G.O.A.T.”

Marsa mayor call for more police protection for residents

Jul 27 2022 Share

The mayor of Marsa Josef Azzopardi has called for more police protection for residents from “people who frequent Marsa, many of whom are foreigners”, sharing his sentiments in a recent Facebook post.

Azzopardi begins his post by saying that in these last few years a lot of progress has occurred in Marsa when it comes to making enforcement better. This happened with the help of the local council, the police department of Marsa and the district.

Despite these, such efforts are still not enough for Azzopardi who wants even more help from the police when it comes to protecting residents from potentially dangerous people who locate themselves inside Marsa. He also went on to state that this sentiment is shared with all residents and is not something only he thinks should happen.

The mayor ended the post by promising that he will continue to work hard with the police and other local councils in order for better enforcement to make Marsa residents feel safer.

The total amount of tourists visiting Malta amounted to 962,556 an increase of 47% from 2020. This massive increase was obviously seen because of the lifting of travel restrictions due to Covid-19.

Despite the large increase, tourist arrivals were still a far cry from the 2.7 million  tourists that entered Malta back in 2019.

Domestic tourism increased a lot last year due to the desire to travel by the Maltese but the worry to travel abroad due to Covid-19 issues. This meant that the expenditure spent on luxuries by Maltese families in Gozo and Comino resulted in €80.3 million being generated. This was an increase of over 35% over 2020.

The number of Gozitan residents who travelled to Malta nearly doubled from 2020 t0 2021 from almost 12,00o to 24,309 visitors in 2021. Their expenditure reached around €3.7 million which also was an increase from the €2 million spent in 2020.
