British politics is certainly far more compelling than the kind of third-world politics the ANC and its woke, left-leaning and corrupt allies attempt to practise. I therefore prefer following British politics. It is considerably more engaging and intellectually stimulating.
The battle lines have been drawn and the table has been set for a political fight unlike anything seen in British politics in recent years. British Minister of Health, Wes Streeting, is in all likelihood heading for resignation, which could trigger a fierce leadership battle.😳

Congratulations to US Vice President JD Vance on the pregnancy of his wife, Second Lady Usha Vance. Wishing you both happiness as you prepare to welcome your new addition.
@antheafrederick Nie geweet jou man is oorlede nie. Net geweet jy moes getrou het want jou van het verander. Jammer om te hoor. Sterkte en asb koester die mooi herinneringe.
@antheafrederick Hello Anthea ek wil net se ek het groot geword met jou op die radio toe nog Anthea Warner was. My oorlede ouma het jou gelove en sy het ons almal liefgemaak vir radio. Darem nog bly om jou stem op RSG te hoor. Mooi dag en 'n geseende Kersfees en 'n nuwe jaar.
As the custodian of South Africa’s population register, I can confirm that the legal basis for racial classification and the cornerstone of formal Apartheid, the Population Registration Act of 1950, was repealed in 1991. This was followed by the creation of a non-racial population register and ID system that we are now working day and night to modernise and digitally transform.
The legislated evil of the Population Registration Act has not been replaced by any new law reintroducing mandatory racial classification, which undergirded abominations like the pencil test and job reservation. The obvious result is that no basis exists in law to compel any person to again become racial classifiers or “pencil testers” of their fellow South African citizens. And that is how it will remain under my custodianship.
Can a man who is brown & Hindu be English? A ridiculous question says the first British Asian to be Prime Minister but it's one asked by the woman who was his Home Secretary @SuellaBraverman. Listen to his answer ...
I waited for the sun to be out in full swing before starting my run today and filled a bucket of sweat to show for it...hehehe. I am making sure I am getting enough practice in so that I am ready for next year's big marathons. It is best to be prepared for all possibilities.
This newspaper, China Daily, should be mandatory reading for economics students, seasoned economists, policy makers or anyone who wants to understand the world of economics and China in particular. 👌
The last of the legends in Afrikaans literature are no longer with us: Jakes Gerwel, Breyten Breytenbach, André P Brink, Adam Small, Karel Schoeman, Vernie February, Ampie Coetzee and Jan Rabie.
The end of an era.😭
