This World Cup has been truly horrendous, timing wise, zero consideration to the scheduling. Two seriously average sides today- on a Sunday - when we actually could have watched the games. Epic fail #FIFA 🙄

🚨‼️There are more unregistered DA supporters in Joburg than the ANC’s 2021 vote total. If every DA supporter registers correctly and votes, the DA can win and get Joburg working for all!

IT'S OFFICIAL: After many years of hard work the Sanlam Cape Town Marathon has officially become the 8th Abbott World Marathon Majors race in the world.

On 23 May 2027, we take our place alongside Tokyo, Boston, London, Sydney, Berlin, Chicago and New York. This is only possible because of the thousands of runners who kept on running and believing in the Cape Town Marathon. 🇿🇦

22 - 23 May 2027, here we come 🎉🇿🇦🇿🇦

It has been reported that a 125-decibel sound level was recorded at the Scotland v Haiti game during the pre match anthem singing of Flower of Scotland - the loudest ever noise level at a World Cup match. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@RoryPetzer @ComradesRace I thought you were excellent. All day! Thank you, you made us proud 🇿🇦

Blue bags up.

Japan 2, Netherlands 2 — an absolute thriller in Arlington. And then the real show started.

The Japanese end pulls out thousands of bright blue bags. First they wave them like flags, bouncing and chanting until the whole section is one giant wall of blue. Then — same bags, new mission. They fan out across the stands and scoop up every bottle, wrapper and cup till the seats look brand new.

And who's right in the middle of it, grinning with a bag in his hand? Jameis Winston. Giants QB. Heisman winner. Out there cleaning up with the Samurai Blue like it's the best gig of his summer.

No chore. No lecture. Just a party that cleans up after itself.

Best fans on the planet. 🇯🇵💙

A ‘no vote’ is still a vote. A vote for Joburg to continue down this path of destruction.
