One week on from the All Blacks knocking the wind out Springbok sails, a thriller in Cape Town to level the series. Full house, thunderous crowd, Pieter-Steph’s 100th, that @Fly_Airlink flyover: another unforgettable day at the DHL Stadium. All square going into Soccer City…

Fantastic evening with terrific people sharing a belief in sport’s power to change the world. @SFitzpatrick92 and @BryanHabana made for a compelling double act on stage; thanks to everyone who supported us in Cape Town last night.

An incredible evening celebrating the work of Laureus Sport for Good South Africa at the 2026 Gala Dinner ✨

Laureus Academy Members and Ambassadors joined together with friends of Laureus to celebrate the power of sport and the positive impact it can have on young people in South Africa and around the world.

Laureus’ first patron Nelson Mandela said ‘Sport has the power to change the world’ at the inaugural Laureus World Sports Awards in 2000 – his words defined our mission and now, continue to guide and inspire us all.

Nice work Team @Fly_Airlink!

One of our smallest passengers is on its way home 🦀💙

Shell-vis Presley, a tiny hermit crab, ended up quite a long way from home after the shell it was in, which was thought to be empty, was picked up at Kidd’s Beach in the Eastern Cape and taken all the way to Johannesburg.

The incredibly kind people who found it went out of their way to help, reaching out to the Randburg SPCA for assistance in getting Shell-vis home, and when we were asked to assist, we were more than happy to jump on board.

Right now, Shell-vis is making its way back to East London, with Kidd’s Beach getting a little closer...

Headlined by Charlotte van Dyk’s striking wild dog (sold for nearly a quarter of a million rand), two fantastic days of golf, camaraderie and shared philanthropy made this year’s Kambaku Invitational another huge success. Many young lives changed by good people coming together.

Underwhelming start to Banyana’s Wafcon campaign. Team not at their best, playing in front of a few dozen at most. Watching with a commentator who clearly didn’t know any of the players on either side added to a forgettable evening. But more than enough talent to bounce back…

Vazinho and the Cape Verde fairytale. Scotland fans. Norway’s great tournament. French brilliance. Jude Bellingham. Full houses. Attacking football. Last hurrahs for Messi and Ronaldo. Late, late winners. Destination Mexico. Rodri and his worthy champions. Exceptional World Cup.

[Dan Nicholl @dannicholl]

Scoreline suggests a close game; reality was anything but. Spain reduced Argentina to all but spectators; immense performance from the new world champions. Not a beautiful final, but deserving winners of what has been - on football terms - an exceptional World Cup. Bravo España.

When the marketing team thinks Argentina’s greatest ever player has been signed on for the half-time show… #DiegoMadonna

The last @dunhilllinks the last Shane Warne played was with @ryanfoxgolfer; they finished second after Warne played a blinder. A year later Fox won the professional tournament, and dedicated the win to Warney. Superb golfer, even better person, and a most fitting Open champion.

[Dan Nicholl @dannicholl]

England on the rampage… which will only add to frustration at the semifinal approach. Much like Bafana, a team at their best going forward and expressing themselves. So good to watch when they play like this. What might have been.

[Dan Nicholl @dannicholl]

So apt that the Junior Boks go back to back on the day we celebrate Madiba, who together with @cutmaker inspired the @LaureusSport movement that’s changed so many young lives through sport. “Sport speaks to youth in a language they understand”; Mandela’s words still ring so true.

Haunting moment of silence in Miami for Jayden Adams. Football has given us so much joy over the last month; heartbreaking day for the game today. Losing someone so young, bursting with talent and potential, is desperately sad. We’ll cherish the great memories. Rest easy, Jayden.

That’s why @EmbrosePapier9 is back in green and gold. Electric all season in a Bulls jersey, and straight into the same form on his return to the Boks. Which is very welcome just over a year out from a World Cup…
