@PhumlaniMMajozi They get taught about socialism at universities. It is romanticised and made to look very attractive by the very liberal lecturers and professors. Prove me wrong!

Dear Norway fans,

Thank you & I’ll say it again… you have been, beyond any argument, the most extraordinary supporters at this entire tournament.

From a country of five and a half million people, you crossed oceans, packed out stadiums, dressed American streets in red and white and transformed every single fixture into a carnival of noise, pride and unshakeable joy.

Three decades away from football’s biggest stage, and yet you returned carrying no sense of entitlement: only pure, infectious energy.

Your team repaid every ounce of that devotion, reaching a first ever World Cup quarter-final in the nation’s history, smashing straight through the old ceiling of the last 16 that had stood since 1938 and 1998. a stunning knockout of Brazil to even get there (a nation Norway have somehow never lost to across World Cup history).

The Viking Row wasn’t just a celebration for your own players. It moved rivals. It captivated neutrals. It swept up the entire watching planet.

England brought the run to a close. But nothing can erase what unfolded here. The finest chapter Norwegian football has ever produced. Walk away with your heads held high.

Thank you, Norway. For the emotion. For the history you carved out. For the row we’ll be talking about for years to come. Unforgettable. 🇳🇴

@FIFAs tribute to Jayden Adams at the start of the Norway/England game brought tears to our eyes. RIP young man, your talent was outstanding and you will be missed.

We must win.

@JacaNewswatch My daughter was contacted by a recruiter for a job at @Cartrack. The SALARY is less than 1/3 of what she was earning previously (read market related). She told them to shove it. Disgusting @Cartrack, you clearly exploit your workers.

Anushka Bogdanov was caught fraudulently embellishing her CV and lying about her academic credentials. Sadly not unusual in SA. A public register accessible to all employers should be established recording the name of every individual caught with fake academic qualifications.

#MadlangaCommission
An emotional end to Warrant Officer Sander's testimony, as he hears he was exonerated in the polygraph test that was taken. In essence, he was removed from his post, a job he loved and was passionate about, because he was stepping on toes. The victimization of WO Sander, is unforgivable. Another good man that they nearly ruined. Major Senona has a lot to answer for. The Madlanga commission had me in tears today. I hate what the ANC has enabled in our country. Many good men and women have been killed, ruined or victimized because of a political party that has enabled the corruption, looting, drug-trafficking etc, in our country. I look forward to the day we see these politicians appearing, and we must step up, and stop Ramaphosa from halting the Madlanga Commission. 🇿🇦

A message of gratitude to General Mkhwanazi's wife, Mrs. Mkhwanazi

I just felt the need to express words of sincere gratitude to Mrs. Mkhwanazi, in case there's someone who knows her, who might pass on this message to her.

Ma'am I cannot even begin to imagine how it must be to have a husband whose life is dedicated to serving the nation unreservedly. Every wife of a law enforcement officer knows what they are signing up for, including soldiers, and we know every morning when the husbands leave the house, you fear it may be the last time you and the children see them, and many have lost their husbands in the line of duty.

Your husband Ma'am, is a special kind of a human being, who chose a higher level of sacrifice, a road less traveled, by taking on dangerous cartels and walking into the lion's den, where his colleagues and the brave would dare not go, on the 6th July 2025, as you know.

This action made him a national hero, whose face is recognized in ever corner of the country, and beyond, his name is known even by toddlers, his bravery is admired by other men, young and old, he has women crushing over him all over the country and groupies, like all famous men do. He leaves your home for days and weeks on national duty, and hopefully gives you assurance that you have nothing to worry about.

You are the one who is left looking after the children and keeping the home fires burning. We at this moment, have to pause and acknowledge you, appreciate you and thank you. We extend our love to you and we pray for your family at all times. Thank you for sharing your husband with the nation and supporting him in your own quiet way, far from the flashing cameras. As a wife, you are the one who gives him isithunzi, the dignity we see in him. We see a brave and courageous man in public, only you know his fears, anxieties, weaknesses and limitations. May God bless you and give you strength to withstand all the challenges and apprehensions you may have in the quiet of your home. Sending you and the children lots of love on behalf of all South Africans. 🙏🏽❤️

@News24 Just did an application to VFS today for a visa. Found it very difficult to upload my documents - VFS would have done it for R1000. Persevered and succeeded after about 2 hours. Make the appointment through Discovery for your biometrics. Quick and easy.

South Africa could have been a great country, but the ANC chose looting over building, envy over pride, incompetence over merit, lies over truth, revenge over reconciliation. I will never forgive the ANC for what they’ve done to South Africa. Treason of the highest order.

Solidarity triumphs as central pillar of NHI collapses

Solidarity celebrates the Constitutional Court’s ruling today on the Certificate of Need and considers it a huge victory for healthcare practitioners and the broader public.

According to this ruling, parts of the National Health Act that provide for the so-called Certificate of Need have been declared unconstitutional. This Certificate of Need was one of the most important mechanisms by which the government wanted to exercise greater control over the health industry.

It would have increasingly given the state the power to determine which healthcare practitioners may practice where and which services may be provided.

This is in line with the appeal brought before the court by Solidarity and seven other applicants.

For healthcare practitioners, this ruling is a victory for freedom and professional independence, but also a win for every South African’s right to better healthcare.

Anton van der Bijl, Deputy Chief Executive of Solidarity, says this ruling is toppling one of the central pillars on which the government’s distorted and destructive healthcare plans are based.

“One of the NHI’s central pillars has collapsed today. The Certificate of Need was far more than merely an administrative instrument. It was an instrument of centralisation and state control.

“The government wanted to move health practitioners around like its own pawns on a chessboard to cover up its own failures. Today the court said that South Africans are not state property and professionals are not pawns of the government,” says Van der Bijl.

Solidarity consistently argued that quality healthcare cannot be expanded through coercion and bureaucratic control.

Van der Bijl says the ruling can therefore be regarded as a major breakthrough, particularly for sought-after professionals in the healthcare sector.

“No government can force doctors, dentists, nurses and other healthcare practitioners through regulations to create quality healthcare where the government itself has failed,” he says.

Solidarity further emphasises that the ruling has greater significance for the fight against the NHI and serves as strong opposition to the constitutionality of state centralisation, which is a core principle of the NHI.

To implement the BBBEE scorecard is very expensive so funds that could be used to expand the business are significantly diluted. In addition, Starlink is a great example that companies don’t come here because of the ownership requirement. How many companies have decided to invest elsewhere instead? We need to attract investment not chase it away. That’s how jobs get created.
