WTC Final 2025 wasn’t an aberration!!! World Test Champions for a reason. Simon Harmer is a wonderful cricketer. Well played South Africa.

As it stands - a week before the election - the ANC has not announced its mayoral candidate for Johannesburg. With National structures uncertain of how regional leadership would handle the process, we have a state of paralysis. Emblematic of a broader, normative stasis

KG Rabada pointing at the Aussie change room and telling them to pad up and face the follow on is peak ALPHA only if you back it up. 4-77 of 23 hostile overs. Salute.

This is highly problematic for many reasons. The most obvious is that Boucher says he understands ‘Transformation’ but patronizes an established black player - Temba Bavuma - who was vice captain on the most recent Proteas’ tour.

A classic example of an inflated sense of self.
Gwyza made serious accusations here.

producers, presenters; you insult us when your show's topic is based on a tiktok you saw. we all saw it too! instead of regurgitating the fyp, move through life with curiosity, observe human behaviour, talk to what's relevant. have the conversation no one else is having. C'MON!!!

One is inclined to believe there is also an electricity repair mafia in @CityTshwane @nasiphim. There are just too many, regular power issues in Tshwane.

Kagiso Rabada can marry my daughter. Or my wife. If he doesn't to marry them, he can marry me.

Our intellectual class is obsessed with being right at all costs.

There’s this paradoxical thing where those who consider themselves to be among the intellectual class in our society thrive on ridiculing the very society they want to lead in terms of ideas and otherwise. It’s truly fascinating.

Sibiya was not captured. Sibiya was part of the criminal enterprise. #MadlangaCommission

Was #Sibiya now a liability to his criminal network after his legal woes? 🤔

Justice Mathopo’s enquiry raises an interesting aspect regarding the interaction between laws and systems. His perspective is seemingly abstract. Drawing from his premise, the real question is whether the specific law can be operationalised without systems?
Justice Mathopo has destroyed the IEC case The ANC is home and dry here. The IEC seems to be serving the interests of the opposition parties. They want communities of so many municipalities to be disenfranchised. Sies maan! Thank you, ANC for defending these communities 🖤💚💛 #ANCleadsANCLives #LetsBuildBetterCommunities

Mulder not convincing Bavuma to review because Robin Peterson also has 38 test wickets and he'd rather not break the record of a legend.

NUEVA ACTUALIZACIÓN DEL RANKING FIFA Y SEGUIMOS ÚLTIMOS. 🇸🇲 Los muchachos hacen historia solamente recibiendo 16 goles en 4 partidos y continuamos en el mismo lugar. 😤 Le hicimos un gol a Albania y ni así nos suben. Cuando gabamos, estamos igual. Perdemos, estamos igual. No se sabe qué tenemos que hacer para subir un puesto en este ranking. ❌ Nos sigue superando un país con nombre de pez y las Islas Vírgenes Británicas. Y encima hasta las Islas Vírgenes de Estados Unidos se alejaron. 🐟‼️ Hasta BAHAMAS nos supera que es más conocido por sus playas que por el fútbol, es increíble. 🌊 ES TODA UNA MAFIA ESTE RANKING, LA FIFA LA MANEJA GIBRALTAR O LIECHTENSTEIN 🇱🇮🇬🇮

BREAKING: The Trump administration is suspending Microsoft, Adobe, and several major IT outsourcing firms from a key employment-based green card program, accusing them of abusing the visa system at the expense of American workers. Vice President JD Vance singled out Microsoft, saying the tech giant laid off 6,000 American workers while benefiting from 6,300 H-1B visas and nearly 3,000 green cards. "You cannot lay off American workers and then replace them with foreign indentured servants." The Labor Department says it will stop accepting new applications and processing pending applications from the targeted companies as federal investigations continue.
