🚨 Mikel Merino on his goal against Portugal:
🗣️ “The coach wanted to sub me on in the 50th minute, but I told him to wait because I was studying the game and how the defenders were positioning themselves. It took me 35 minutes to analyze their defense, and I told Raya I would score in the 90th minute, and I delivered. See you next game.”
Moved into a new apartment this weekend and the toilet has a bidet, man I gotta say that targeted stream of water up my ass is a thing of beauty. Why isn’t everyone using the WC like this. 🥴
Crazy to think that a number of people, mostly that province that hosts the Comrades Marathon, are inclined in this kind of thinking and will create back-a-buddy campaigns to support and get behind whatever retarded idea this gent comes up with
Phakelumthakathi: South Africa can pay South Africans 1 million every year for the rest of their lives.
We don’t even need to work. We can have legal immigrants work for us like in Dubai.
I would transform SA to the 2nd-most beautiful country in the world. Better than America.
African teams fall of the same fate. Poor finishing, no endurance and a lapse in concentration in the last 10 minutes of the game.

Dina Pule? ANC tradition trumps right and wrong? How did she leave parliament the first time? Here is a reminder:
July 2013, President Zuma removed her as Minister of Communications. Even by Zuma's low standards, she was not fit for office.
A parliamentary ethics inquiry subsequently found that she had breached Parliament's Code of Ethical Conduct. Pule had failed to disclose material aspects of her relationship with Phosane Mngqibisa, enabling him to benefit improperly from government-related activities. She also misled the inquiry on key facts.
Public Protector Thuli Madonsela issued a report finding that Pule had acted unlawfully and unethically, concluding that she had "persistently" misled investigators and recommending that she apologise and repay public funds spent on Mngqibisa's travel.
And today, 13 years later, @CyrilRamaphosa thinks this doesn't matter. It matters to many voters and you can not wish us away.
President Thabo Mbeki touches on the Nugent Commission, established by President Cyril Ramaphosa in 2018 and chaired by Judge Robert Nugent, to investigate governance failures, capture and the deliberate destruction of South African Revenue Services (SARS).
I am sure President Mbeki would fall off his chair if he were to find out that one of the senior SARS executives who was suspended during the post-Nugent clean up in 2019 has now been appointed by Buti Manamela as the Administrator of NSFAS to look after over R 50 Billion meant for students annually.
In the same way a political decision was taken to destroy SARS, a political decision seems to have been taken to destroy NSFAS.
Perhaps, we must write to SARS and the National Treasury about this dodgy appointment.
Mbekezeli Mbokazi. A 20-year-old dropping a masterclass like this in a World Cup knockout game? The student just became the teacher. 91% pass accuracy. Six ground duels won. Five clearances. Three recoveries. Two tackles and an interception. The future is bright for this baller.
A Gentle Reminder:
Presidents, Ministers, Members of Parliament, Councillors and all public representatives are your servants. They exist solely to represent your interests as citizens. We are your “leaders” simply because you elected us to be in positions of authority. Truth of the matter is, the ultimate leaders in a society are the people.
The people delegate their power to a few to be in decision making bodies like Municipal Councils and Parliament. That doesn’t change the fact that the people in these positions are given power by the people and must exercise that public power in a manner that advances the interests of the people and must always be answerable to the public.
When we go to the elections in November, remember to vote for your SERVANTS. Do not vote for BOSSES that do not sympathise with your struggles and view something as a problem only when it affects them personally.
So my dad has been ending every phone call with "stay dangerous" instead of "goodbye" for like six months now. We all thought he was just being a weird dad. Turns out he's been mishearing the ending of a podcast he listens to. The host says "stay curious" but my dad is slightly deaf in one ear. He's been going around telling his coworkers, my grandmother, and apparently his DOCTOR to "stay dangerous" this entire time. My mom only found out because his doctor called to check if everything was okay at home. My dad has now decided he likes his version better and refuses to stop. Yesterday he told a nun to stay dangerous.
