What utter rubbish! Goodness that is shocking. SAPS please start doing your job!
Siya Kolisi's stature as one of the most recognisable athletes in the world as well as his prodigious gifts as leader has been reinforced by him cracking TIME Magazine's TIME100 list for 2024. | @Sport24news brnw.ch/21wIUfT
Dear @SkyNews - just because gold is found in a field does not mean you can describe it in “carrots” instead of carats!
Quite right. I cannot understand how some people do not get that infrastructure has to be maintained in order to work!

Travel woes continue. Flight to Copenhagen cancelled - after having checked in hand luggage! But compared to yesterday’s Eurostar experience I must commend @KLM on their excellent handling of the situation. Chalk and cheese.
What we get when we travel on @Eurostar. Abandoned at Brussels because someone didn’t arrive at work. Clearly no backup plan if that happens. Crammed into a smelly intercity to Antwerp. Then told get off and find another Eurostar (no details now we stand. Flying next time.
Another @Eurostar trip. Another delay. Just stopped at Brussels because someone didn’t arrive at work. Never mind a whole train full of people. What kind of management doesn’t have adequate backup plans?!?!
Nothing quite like sitting on a train to a destination which they announce you are no longer going to. No reason. No alternative. Unreal.
Just won “15 mins infinite life” on a game. Doesn’t infinite mean …….????
Would love to know who came up with the “brilliant” idea of starting emails with “I hope this email finds you well”. What if it doesn’t?? Drives me nuts.
Jeepers, we’ve got a long way to go - but I’m immensely proud of what we’ve achieved so far in the Western Cape! 🥹👏

You can call this day what you want, but nothing can change the fact that He is risen! And that, changes everything . Happy #ResurrectionDay
✝️ Alleluia! Christ is risen. “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In His great mercy, He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.” (1 Peter 1:3)
Western Cape is on the brink of successfully getting its unemployment rate below 20% dailymaverick.co.za/opinionista/20…
Can someone explain to me why the new basic state pension amounts to about £12.5k a year and yet basic living wage amounts to £21.5k a year and yet pensioners are expected to pay tax if their income exceeds £12570 pa ?
Do the architects that plan parking garages these days ever have to use their own creations? Among many other frustrations, bays way too narrow, columns placed so that rear passengers can’t exit, ramps and corners too narrow for vehicles from both directions to pass… etc.
More great news coming from the Western Cape yet again! 👏 An independent report has shown that the leading municipalities all come from the Western Cape.. 🏆 Let’s do more FOR YOU. Let’s keep the Western Cape DA! 🤩🇿🇦 Read more: tinyurl.com/mwr5wr4v

Another weird thing about the uk - they charge a whack for delivery and then refuse to carry it inside the house! What are you supposed to do if you are not strong enough? Pathetic service.
