It’s okay Tatjana, you can go. Helen can also swim.

One of the more interesting options being floated within the ANC for partnering with the DA is a confidence-and-supply proposal. This means the DA governs alone in metros where it is the biggest party and the ANC does the same, with each party protecting the other from no-confidence votes.

I like this idea because it gives voters what they asked for AND it gives everyone a chance to see who governs well. Plus, it removes the instability within councils where parties trying to work together fall out.

I doubt the ANC will agree to it, though, because it would see the DA govern alone in the three Gauteng metros AND Nelson Mandela Bay, while the ANC takes Mangaung and Buffalo City.

Still... a sensible option.

Malaysia Athletics scooped up SA’s leading sprint coach, Thabo Matebedi in July 2026. He’s now out there tasked with leading that country’s sprint programme through the 2026 Asian Games and 2027 SEA Games and getting their team qualified for LA 2028.

Who did he coach? Our international superstars Sinesipho Dambile, Bayanda Walaza and Mukona Manavhela, and previously Gift Leotlela.

One of the reasons stated for leaving: our athletics federations and fraternity are a mess. Common denominators. Spot patterns. Follow the stories. 🍎

@RobinAdamsZA We need a South African version of sandpaper gate.

[Junaid #JB17 @JunaidSamodien_]

@RobinAdamsZA Agreed. Could have used the opportunity to reassure other athletes as well, but sadly, our government only sees the current not the future.

@RobinAdamsZA We as @SADeafRugby just came back from Japan. Not one cent given. We did it and are proud of it but it was expensive and tiring. We lucky to have a great administrative body who never gave up

It is deeply sad that #SouthAfrica is losing its most decorated Olympian. Is it really too late to address the issues that is compelling her go and compete for another country?

[Robin Adams 🇿🇦 @RobinAdamsZA]

Nah fam.

Missed opportunity to take Swimming South Africa to task for their long-running shitty treatment of our star athlete. AND for Swimming SA now telling athletes to pay R55K themselves to go and compete in Beijing.

On what planet is that OK?

Fire the lot of them!

South Africa makes a comeback!

#OnThisDay in 1991, @OfficialCSA played its first International match (and first-ever ODI) in Kolkata after a 21-year absence from International cricket.

Making his debut at the age of 41, Clive Rice summed up the moment beautifully:

"I know how Neil Armstrong felt when he stood on the moon."
