Imagine being so talented you could make marble appear soft to the touch. Gian Lorenzo Bernini was only 23 years old when he created this breathtaking masterpiece in the 1600s.

Gian Lorenzo Bernini was just 23 years old when he finished The Abduction of Proserpina in 1622. Widely regarded as one of the greatest achievements of the Baroque era, the sculpture is celebrated for making solid Carrara marble appear remarkably soft and lifelike. Its most famous detail depicts Pluto’s fingers sinking into Proserpina’s thigh, creating the astonishing illusion of flesh yielding under pressure.

Through dramatic movement, deep shadows, and exquisitely polished surfaces, Bernini transformed rigid stone into what seems like flowing fabric, delicate skin, and even tears. Today, this extraordinary display of artistry and emotion can be seen at the Galleria Borghese in Rome.

Just spent an hour at a branch of one of the big banks and the staff are wearing their Springbok jerseys. The bank sponsors the Springboks.

In other news, Bafana Bafana start their World Cup next week.

Mboweni was born in a small village outside Tzaneen, Limpopo, that colonial authorities had named Bordeaux (after the French city). However, the local residents struggled with the silent letters and French pronunciation. In a brilliant act of everyday decolonisation, the community defiantly rechristened the village Bodweni, which translates to "in the pot" or "from the pot" . Mboweni often looked back on this as the symbolic "pot" that cooked his early political awareness and fierce thirst for knowledge.

😂 maybe that's why he liked his pots. RIP OG

Bra, like we know it but I don’t think we fully grasp it 😂 .. boys from the dusty streets of Gqeberha, Tembisa, Soweto, Musina, Polokwane, Bethlehem will be doing their thing in-front of 1.1 billion people with every possible dignitary watching, Presidents, Popes and Monarchs.

Dating used to be two people building a life together. Now it feels like one person funding a lifestyle while being treated as easily replaceable.

Why do pan africanists always target Venda and Tsonga people when they invent tribalism? Is that their own confession of how lowly they view Vendas and Tsongas? Internalized tribalism they project onto patriots🤔
