If you are planning to fly between #Maseru and #Johannesburg this week, you may need to adjust your travel plans & fly via Bloemfontein instead.

@Fly_Airlink, currently the only airline operating the Johannesburg–Maseru route, has suspended all flights between the two cities.

@PolokoMokhele_ @Fly_Airlink We wait for the day they tell us the real truth behind all these. In the meantime people should just fly via Bloem and drive down. Its hustle free.

Is the Menkhoaneng to Thaba Bosiu trail marked? Wouldn’t it attract more tourism if it was so that people that want to take the walk anytime of the year on their own can do so?? It doesn’t really have to be only when that annual event happens.

@Chelseafc_Newsg @Motlatsi_RC If you describe SA as our daddy,thats even more reasonable to do what daddy says because he is an elder and a provider... social moral logic..

Perhaps there is a need for more young patriotic leaders like Traore to help Africa.

[Samuel Munzele Maimbo @SamMMaimbo]

Africa has 60% of the world's uncultivated arable land yet imports $45B in food annually. 🌱 This contradiction represents our greatest challenge & most significant opportunity.

My vision: scaling agribusiness, financing infrastructure & implementing climate-smart practices. 🌍
