As South Africans we do need to introspect about our relationship with Lesotho.

We may be generous in the allocation of SACU tariffs, but in many respects the same pattern of extraction re Bantustans remains in place. 1/4

There seems to be a growing consensus that the internal incoherence of National Gov's policy on Eskom is going to make the residue of this enterprise a feature of the National Budget for the forseeable future (if not indefinitely). 1/6

The problem with deferring to a class of experts is that there are only a handful of outliers in any field; the vast majority are mediocre and suffer from groupthink. Invariably, when you are told to defer to experts, it means the mediocre middle, not the true standouts.

“There’s kind of toxic feeling around football on social media. You can’t imagine the damage that comments on social networks do. I was really suffering, my family helped me. So, people should think before attacking on social media - it’s really serious topic”.

This time, four months ago, It was a normal day. I was at my office getting a booklet made for each of my coworkers that would show their growth in their skills to help get them raises. 2 hours from then, I’d get a call that would shatter my world. My wife called, screaming

Dear Roger,my friend and rival.
I wish this day would have never come. It’s a sad day for me personally and for sports around the world.
It’s been a pleasure but also an honor and privilege to share all these years with you, living so many amazing moments on and off the court 👇🏻
