A message from Pep Guardiola’s daughter, Maria. 👇
“papi ♥️ We blinked and it’s been 10 years. 10 seasons. Hundreds of away games, trips to Wembley, too many Bernabeu nights, and millions of memories.
“Football was never just a sport. It decided where we lived, how often we moved, the languages we learned, the friends we made and the emotions we felt. From as long as I can remember it was football stadiums. Moving to Doha, Mexico, Rome, Brescia, Barcelona, New York, Munich and Manchester. Thank you for giving us a childhood built around sport, something so rare and special.
“We moved again, for the 8th time in 14 years. Manchester is very hard to put into words. You changed the most respected league in the world. You achieved things and broke records that may never be repeated. And we got to experience all of it from the closest seat possible.
“The happiest and saddest tears came from football, because watching you live every second so intensely made us feel everything with you. Those 90 minutes where the world feels like it stops.
“We think people forget quickly because football moves fast and a new season always starts. But as time passes, we’ll realise just how impossible those numbers really are. 41 trophies in 16 years.
“Years from now people will talk about football and try to explain what this era felt like, they’ll talk about your teams, the way they made people feel. Because beyond the trophies, you gave us memories we escaped real life for.
“It has been a privilege to watch and support you for almost 25 years. Thank you for always bringing us close to everything, for including us in it all. The biggest privilege has been to live it all beside you.
“As citizens, football fans and rivals we will miss seeing you on our screens every week. Because without realising it there is a final match, a final whistle. And none of us are ever really ready for that moment.
“Thank you papi and mami, the beautiful things in our lives always trace back to this game.
“For the world these were historic football moments, for us they were family memories, and I don’t think any of us realised while living it, that we were inside football history. And that stays long after the final whistle ♥️”

My mom passed away when she was only 32 years old. She had barely lived. One day she went to work and came back home in a coffin. From a very young age I have always known that life is too short and It can end anytime.
Be happy, do the things you love. Stay away from situations and people that make you uncomfortable, sad and depressed. Be kind❤️
KZN Top Cop Lt-Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi Warned Taxi Bosses To Stop Intimidating Hitchhikers.
KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi warned taxi bosses not to harass people when they are hitchhiking.
Mkhwanazi presided over a special meeting between rival taxi associations, the KwaMaphumulo Taxi Association and KwaDukuza Taxi Association aiming to quell the ongoing tensions between the two taxi associations who have been fighting over routes among other tensions.
Mkhwanazi warned the taxi operators during his visit to meet with two taxi associations from Ntshwaini in KwaDukuza which are said to be at loggerheads over routes.
The long-standing tensions have led to disruptions in traffic flow and violence.
He told the taxi bosses that South African roads belong to everyone and that private citizens cannot be intimidated or stopped from assisting others with transport.
Mkhwanazi made it clear that the law does not grant taxi operators the power to control who gives a lift to whom.
“A person who wants to take a lift will take a lift. If they want to take a taxi, they will take a taxi. If they want to take a bus, they will take a bus. It is not for you to decide how someone must travel. If I ever hear that there is an association that stops cars on the road and tells people they are not allowed to take a lift and must use a taxi, the moment I receive that report I will arrest the person responsible.
"Even if it is a security company doing that, I will report that company to the PSIRA office and have its licence taken away. Once that security guard is arrested, the entire company will be shut down. If it operates in other places, we will deal with that in court and close it," he said.
Mkhwanazi further said: "If a taxi driver who belongs to an association does such a thing, it means that person is working for that association. We do not care whether they own the taxi or not we will shut down that association. Those taxis will not operate. If members of the association want to test how powerful the government is, they should start with us. Challenge the government and you will see the power it has.”
According to him, intimidation of motorists or attempts to block private vehicles from transporting passengers will not be tolerated.
The commissioner’s statement has been widely interpreted as a warning to those in the taxi industry who believe they can enforce informal rules on the roads.
He stressed that law enforcement will act against anyone who attempts to take the law into their own hands.
Community members and road users have welcomed the statement, saying it reinforces the principle that South African roads are public spaces governed by the law, not by intimidation or private interests.
“Cheating isn’t enough to leave that man. Every single man cheats. If that man is treating you well, not beating you, he’s providing, then cheating is at the bottom of the list.”

Choose your partner wisely man. My brother passed away four years ago, but his girlfriend at the time still calls my mom almost every day. She never misses family celebrations and is always there whenever anyone needs support. Even now, she still honors him like he’s here. That kind of loyalty is rare.
High mileage is the most abused phrase in the used car market.
Mileage only tells you how often a car moved not how it was treated.
A serviced 150k mile car will outlive a neglected 40k mile car every time.
