@SSRugby Hi - Will you be televising the Boks vs Barbarians game on the 20th June? And the SA A vs Zim game? Thanks @SuperSportTV

Un nene mexicano fue al hotel de Sudáfrica con un cartel y su ÁLBUM DE FIGURITAS para que cada jugador le firme.

Luego, bajó el DT para regalarle una camiseta y los futbolistas hicieron fila para sacarse una foto con él.

Esto es el Mundial, carajo. 🥹🇿🇦

@geoffreyyork @RediTlhabi The same SAFA who fielded an ineligible player and nearly cost us getting to the World Cup…

@zilevandamme Pray tell, where can I buy Amazon LEO in South Africa?

@RediTlhabi @CyrilRamaphosa Will be shocked!

South Africa's tourist accommodation income 🛌 rose 12.1% y/y in March, via @StatsSA.

This was due to a 11.1% increase in stay unit nights sold and a 2.7% increase in the average income per stay unit night sold.

Hotel occupancy rates of 57.5% are well-above March 2019's pre-pandemic figure of 52.3%.

"If we lose test cricket, we will lose the cricket we truly know. History remembers legendary test careers not franchise triumphs. Cricket without Tests has no real meaning. Winning a T20 World Cup may put you at the centre of world cricket today, but whether that is truly good for the game remains open to debate.
Test cricket earned its name because it challenges every quality a player possesses, technique, patience, temperament,endurance and character. It is not simply about clearing the ropes for entertainment; It is about battling through pressure, adapting to conditions, and surviving the physical and mental demands of five intense days"
- Sir Ian Botham

South Africa will eventually look like North Korea from space.

@ncakos316 I hope @WanderersZA @LionsCricNews are following all of this, and will market the hell out of the JHB test starting on the 17th Dec. We need a decent crowd for the first two days at least...

@zilevandamme @RediTlhabi We live in South Africa, not America, where there are no rural alternatives…

Herman, let’s tell the truth. You left the DA because you thought the panel I chaired in 2019 would recommend you resign. We had no intention of doing so and never did. You left anyway. No one pushed you out. Having said that, I will also say that the hour we spent with you was astonishing: I have never in 35 years in politics come across someone so utterly narcissistic, which is extraordinary given, well, some of the people I have come across! We were left stunned. So well done on leaving.

@KelRo736 @diefilosoof I can't get decent internet in Dullstroom. I would chew my arm off for Starlink. I'm no fan of Elon, but you can't say we don't need his product...

@SurferSilverza My experience at European aiports is almost always worse than it is at OR Tambo...

The problem with casting a closer relationship with Europe as the solution to the world's current economic malaise is that it kind of misses the point.
The key problem at present is a shortage of ENERGY.
Europe has an energy deficit.
Up until 2022 it filled that gap with gas from Russia.
Now it fills that gap with gas (and oil) from the US and Middle East.
It swapped one dependency for another.
We can debate whether that dependency is inevitable, the extent to which it's a function of geology and/or political decisions taken years ago.
Regardless, right now Europe is highly exposed to the problems in the Gulf. And without US energy imports it is in BIG trouble.
A closer relationship between the UK and the EU does not solve this conundrum.

@richardgibsonDM @HomeOfCricket KG Rabada in the World test final against AUS. SA were allocated the home team for the match. Same for Markram for his hundred.

You want the NATO allies to join you in a war you started without ever consulting these allies about the war or explaining your war aims. We’re meant just to meekly fall in line.
You recently supported a US invasion of a NATO ally (Denmark/Greenland) but now you want these same allies to join your war.
Your president disparaged and misrepresented the role of NATO allies in Afghanistan. But now you want them to join with you again in a war of your making.
You went to war with Iran without a thought of how to keep the Strait of Hormuz open and without involving your allies in the matter. But now you want the NATO allies to bail you out, even though there’s still no plan for Hormuz.
You want the NATO allies to join you in a war in which you still cannot articulate the endgame. Or what victory would look like.
You went to war thinking the Iranian regime would quickly topple, that Tehran would not attack the Gulf States or close Hormuz. Why would we align with such Epic Stupidity?
You and other know-nothing blowhards started this war all on your own. You can finish it on your own. If you’re able to …
