We seriously need to start talking more about the cost of electricity, especially in Gauteng. People are struggling to keep up with these prices. At this rate, one day we’ll wake up and one unit will cost R100.
Shout out to @CheckersSA@Sixty60_Tweets for being pioneers in efficient grocery delivery in 🇿🇦.
Placed an order at 06:10, delivery arrived by 07:08 — that means the staff are starting before 7am to make this happen. 🙌 Love you guys, and well done to the entire team! 🕖
@DietitianMoloko That’s the going price for most specialists, you start questioning if there is even a need for medical aid anymore ? Why not just get hospital cover?
I hope when you watch #ThePolygamist, you’ll watch beyond the drama …
Your greatest lesson should be to decenter marriage, husbands and men altogether.
You can have them; but they shouldn’t be your entire identity. ❤️🙏🏽
Elon just created 4,400 millionaires in a single day.
400 of them are now worth over $100 million.
These aren't VCs. They're SpaceX employees, and the list includes welders, technicians, and cafeteria staff, because for two decades the company paid every level of the workforce in stock instead of higher salaries.
Juan Hernandez immigrated from Mexico and took a $28 an hour contractor welding job in 2015. He says he didn't even know what SpaceX was. The company gave him a $10,000 equity grant and let him buy more shares through payroll deductions. That stake is now worth $880,000.
Trevor Hise's parents wanted him to take a stable job at General Electric. He picked SpaceX instead, stayed 12 years, and accumulated over 100,000 shares. At the $135 listing price that's $13.5 million. He's 37 and semiretired. His words: "The magnitude of this has been ridiculous."
The most telling detail came before the listing. Over 100 employees quietly banded together and negotiated a group wealth management deal covering up to $5 billion, because none of them had ever needed a wealth manager before.
Software IPOs have minted millionaires for 30 years. This is the first one where the money went to the factory floor.
Mahikeng is in mourning after a deadly armed robbery at Totobola Butchery claimed the lives of its owners, Sergio “Search” Gomes and his wife, Marlene “Ma-Totobola” Gomes.
Six masked suspects stormed the busy butchery, robbing customers and staff before forcing the couple to their nearby home in an attempt to access a safe.
During the ordeal, shots were fired. Marlene Gomes died at the scene, while Sergio Gomes was rushed to hospital but later succumbed to his injuries.
No arrests have been made. SAPS has opened cases of robbery with aggravating circumstances and murder, and is appealing to the public for information.
The Gomes family, long-time operators of the well-known business, are being remembered by the community, with customers, staff and residents left shocked and devastated.
