🇿🇦 A FIRST FOR SOUTH AFRICA.
We built a humanoid robot that listens to you speak — in ANY of our 11 official languages — and replies back in that exact same language. Automatically.

No settings. No menus. It just knows.
Speak isiZulu, it replies in isiZulu. Speak Xitsonga, it replies in Xitsonga. Speak Afrikaans, it replies in Afrikaans.

This has never been done before in South Africa.
Not a chatbot. Not a script. A physical, thinking, listening, speaking robot — built from the ground up by a South African, for South Africans.
This is Fuze🇿🇦.

You'll regret it if you get married, you'll regret it if you don't get married. You'll regret it if you have kids and you'll regret it if you don't. Kierkegaard said this 200 years ago as follows - whatever you choose, you'll regret it, because the problem isn't in your choices, it's in romanticizing your life. A person always finds an untravelled path alluring and mysterious. That's why the issue isn't making the right choice. It's choosing and deciding which regret you'll live with. In life, we must choose our regret.

MP ADAMS' COMMISSION TESTIMONY ON ICT SUPPORT PROVIDED BY PARLIAMENT

Parliament, Tuesday, 11 August 2026 - Parliament has noted statements made by National Coloured Congress Member of Parliament Mr Fadiel Adams during his appearance before the Madlanga Commission this morning, in which he attributed delays in accessing correspondence from the Commission to persistent problems with his Parliament-issued laptop.

Mr Adams indicated, among other things, that his laptop had been problematic for approximately 18 months, was frequently either frozen or in for repairs, and that this had affected his ability to access information.

Ordinarily, Parliament would not comment on explanations offered by a Member in proceedings before a commission of inquiry. However, insofar as these claims create the impression that Parliament failed over an extended period to provide a Member with functional tools of trade necessary for the performance of his constitutional responsibilities, the institutional record requires clarification.

Following Mr Adams' remarks, Parliament reviewed the ICT Service Desk records relating to technical support logged for him during the relevant period.

The records do not reflect any reported incident of persistent laptop malfunction, hardware failure, repeated freezing of the device, or the laptop being repeatedly submitted to ICT for repairs.

The ICT incidents recorded during this period relate primarily to routine user-access and account-support matters. These include a Windows password reset in January 2025, an ERP/Marang password reset in June 2025, assistance with logging into a device in July 2025, a Wi-Fi update in January 2026, and an ERP/Marang eDisclosure-related request in June 2026. These matters were recorded through Parliament's ICT Service Desk and were closed.

Password resets, authentication or login difficulties and connectivity configuration are routine ICT support matters and are materially different from a device being technically dysfunctional or unavailable for an extended period.

Parliament therefore has no ICT Service Desk record supporting the assertion that Mr Adams' parliamentary laptop was persistently dysfunctional for approximately 18 months in the manner described before the Commission.

It is also important to clarify that Parliament's provision of tools of trade to Members is not limited to a single laptop. Members are provided with multiple ICT devices, including a laptop, tablet and smart phone, precisely to support continuity of access and enable Members to perform their parliamentary responsibilities.

Where a Member experiences a technical problem with an allocated device, established ICT support channels are available for the incident to be logged, diagnosed and resolved. Alternative Parliament-issued devices also provide continuity of access while a particular device is being attended to.

Parliament's clarification is confined to its own ICT and administrative records and should not be construed as commenting on the substance of Mr Adams' evidence before the Commission, which remains a matter for the Commission.

A CALL FOR ATTENTION TO PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP

President Donald Trump, I am calling your attention to the situation in Osun State, Nigeria, as we approach the election.

There are growing concerns about tension and the possibility of violence, intimidation, or disruption of the democratic process. Osun people deserve to exercise their constitutional right to vote freely, peacefully, and without fear.

I appeal to the United States and the international community to pay close attention to the election and encourage all relevant authorities to ensure that every voter is protected and every vote is respected.

We do not want bloodshed. We do not want intimidation. We want peace, transparency, and a free and fair election. @realDonaldTrump

[aether @bluewdrift]

Keep your problems smaller than your life. A flat tire is a flat tire. A bad meeting is a bad meeting. A canceled flight is just an extra two hours. These things become catastrophes when you let them. But they stay manageable when you remember the depth of your real life- the people you love, the work you care about, the beautiful years still ahead. Zoom out. Fit your reaction to the size of the problem.

Terrible things are happening in Cape Town, yet somehow there are people in Johannesburg who are salivating at the thought of Helen Zille being their mayor

[Nhlanhla M 🇿🇦 @Nhlanhl16634918]

@SizweLo Cape Independence is the end goal in my opinion.. Flush out the locals and have them relocate to other provinces then neturalize the foreigners to a point where they become a majority and then vote for Cape Independence. They playing the long game as usual.
