Boks v Aus in Perth at 11:45am. Proteas v Aus at Wanderers at 10am. Two sporting blockbusters, overlapping.

It’s a rehearsal for 2027: @rugbyworldcup in Australia. @cricketworldcup in SA.

A small test of the attention economy & a fascinating glimpse of what’s coming next year.

[Ravi Naidoo @ravinaidoo]

Happy Heritage Day, optimists.

Giving thanks today to my forebears, who had the courage and good sense to board the SS Pongola in 1904, bound for Durban.

This country asks much and gives more. Its contradictions are part of its beauty, and I am blessed to belong to both. 🙏🏽

Hamstring Quartet.

[stuart hess @shockerhess]

If you're still keeping count, thats 4 South African fast bowlers, now out of the ODI series against Aus, with hamstring injuries. Kwena Maphaka, joins Rabada, Ngidi and Baartman on the hamstrung list.... #epidemic

Even the pets are hyped about the match later today.

@MichaelJordaan Xiaomi the difference. 💁🏽‍♂️

[Ravi Naidoo @ravinaidoo]

That rolling maul maybe the most beautiful thing I’ve seen all year. #boks

[Ravi Naidoo @ravinaidoo]

In every instance, the scrum tutor addressed the Boks only… look at replays, no eye contact with El Collapso, just the Boks.

This Rennie is dyspeptic.

Dave Rennie is STILL NOT happy with the #Springboks scrums and will provide feedback #rgr26

In the history of the men's FIFA World Cup, every championship-winning team has been led by a manager of their own nationality. This pattern has remained unbroken from the inaugural tournament in 1930 up through the 2026 tournament. 😬

Wow… Spain is turning it on here…. Sublime football …. Tiki-taka on display

Interestingly said iconic tongue was a graphic design flourish by John Pasche, and was inspired by the Hindu Goddess, Kali … 👅

Last night, the London skyline lit up with The Rolling Stones iconic tongue and lips in a striking display to celebrate the new album Foreign Tongues, released tomorrow 🎇

Super chuffed with the team @rainSouthAfrica who launched Unlimited but affordable 4G/5G Mobile today. Plus a very cool, free-to-use smartphone. Incredible transformation of the floundering WBS that a group of us bought in 2015.

If Bafana Bafana defeats Canada, their next match in the Round of 16 will take place on Saturday, 4 July 2026. Add to this, the Springboks vs England match, and the small matter of the HWB Durban July, and that’s one hell of a sports day, Mzansi. ☺️

Can graphic design really change the world?

Legendary Graphic designer and partner @pentagram Michael Bierut, shares one of the most famous examples of graphic design's real-world impact.

A ballot design created for the 2000 US Presidential Election became a case study in how layout, typography, and information design can influence human decisions at scale.

For graphic designers and design students, this story is a powerful reminder that design isn't decoration—it's communication. And when communication fails, the consequences can be enormous.

What do you think: should designers be held responsible for how people interpret their work?

A must-watch for graphic design students, UX designers, visual communicators, and creative professionals.
