CHAMPIONS! Please help! I need Honourable @GaytonMcK to please check his DM. I think I missed the most important message of my life. 😭❤️🇿🇦🏆 #BafanaPride

“A text message arrived from my daughter’s friend at 1 AM: ‘Your daughter is really drunk at this party. She needs help but won’t call you. Can you come?’ I was terrified and furious but grateful. I got there in twelve minutes. My seventeen-year-old daughter was barely conscious, surrounded by drunk teenagers who’d been taking videos. The friend who texted me, a girl named Aisha, had stayed sober and chased everyone away. ‘I’m sorry to snitch, but she’s really bad. She needs a hospital.’ Aisha helped me get my daughter into the car, came to the ER with us, and stayed until 4 AM when my daughter was stable. She held my hand while I cried. ‘Thank you for calling me. You probably saved her life.’ Aisha shook her head. ‘My cousin died at a party like this. Everyone was too scared to call for help. I promised myself I’d never let that happen to someone else.’ My daughter was humiliated and angry at first, but she eventually understood that Aisha’s call had prevented alcohol poisoning or worse. Aisha remained her friend through the fallout. Thirteen years later, my daughter is a pediatric nurse, and Aisha is an EMT. They’re still best friends. Together, they run a program teaching teenagers about party safety and bystander intervention—they’ve presented to 4,200 high school students across our state. Last month, a student who attended their presentation called 911 for an overdosing friend. That friend survived. When the student thanked them, Aisha hugged her. ‘You did exactly what you were supposed to do. You saved a life.’ My daughter credits Aisha with saving her that night and inspiring her career. I keep Aisha’s original text saved on my phone: ‘The message that changed everything.’”

I don't want to complain about the rain in Joburg, we are always grateful but can we please keep it to afternoons only? Or at least give us one day of the weekend with sun? I am like a solar panel. I need some sun asseblief.
Amé Mia Green, 8, was shot and killed by her father in Amberfield, Centurion, on 22 November 2025.
It is alleged that Amé was killed after her father refused to adhere to the court order of split custody. Her father, Warren Green, allegedly took his own life after murdering his daughter.
We are heartbroken by the loss of yet another beautiful soul. When is enough, enough? #WomenForChange #UnburyTheTruth
