Read books. Read articles. Read research papers. Listen to music. Listen to podcasts. Listen to people who think differently from you. Dance to the songs you love. Go swimming. Go for a walk without carrying your phone. Go hiking. Go for coffee hopping. Buy magazines. Read old newspapers. Sit in a library. Visit a museum. Watch the sunset. Watch the sunrise. Stare at your walls. Stare at the ceiling. Stare at the stars from your terrace. Sit in a garden and observe people passing by. Watch the trees move with the wind. Listen to the birds. Listen to the rain. Sit in silence without feeling the need to fill every second with content. Write things down. Carry a notebook. Journal your thoughts. Sketch badly. Paint something. Learn an instrument. Grow a plant. Cook a meal from scratch. Call an old friend. Travel somewhere nearby. Get lost in a new neighborhood. Visit a bookstore and leave with a book you weren't planning to buy.
this is life all about.
I think we genuinely need to do away with sex scenes in movies and series. Most adults don’t choose a film because it has sex scenes we watch because of the story, acting and production itself. We live in a world where children are violated at horrifying ages yet entertainment keeps pushing sex like it’s something society still needs to be constantly exposed to.
If someone wants to watch nudity or explicit content there are platforms made specifically for that. Movies don’t need to keep feeding audiences sexual scenes as if it’s groundbreaking cinema. Directors probably think they’re adding depth or realism but honestly a lot of us adults are just uncomfortable and tired of it at this point.
People don’t realize that you can actually push someone so far that they no longer want anything to do with you anymore. This applies to friendships, relationships, or even family. Sometimes, people assume that because you love them, whether as a friend, partner, or family member you will continue to tolerate anything, disrespect, neglect, hurtful actions , lack of effort, or emotional stress.
Everyone has limits, and there is only so much one person can take before they choose peace over connection.
Even the most patient, kind-hearted person can reach their breaking point. When someone continuously feels unappreciated, misunderstood, or mistreated, they can reach a place where they emotionally disconnect. And once someone emotionally disconnects, it is very hard to repair that relationship.
Hi @StandardBankZA I bought electricity on my app, at 14h35 this afternoon... I still have not received the voucher number via sms.
I need help, please?
These guys are good, extremely good 👏🏽
The Madlanga Commission team has shown professionalism, precision, and teamwork at the highest level. When you leave there, you are completely finished — they mean serious business ⚔️
• Commissioner Mbuyiseli Madlanga
He chairs the commission with experience, intelligence, and calm authority. Calm on the surface, but very sharp and vigilant. He is also quick to bring you back on track when you start going off track, all while wearing a smile on his face.
• Commissioner Baloyi
Exceptionally vigilant. She asks critical, well-thought-out questions and does not allow anyone to escape without giving proper answers.
• Commissioner Khumalo
A sniper. He listens patiently and takes his time, but when he finally comes in, he shoots straight to the head and never misses. He is also extremely precise with annexure pages, paragraph numbers, and specific lines.
• Adv Chaskalson
He lets you finish yourself off, then steps in to close the chapter. He may chuckle lightly while asking questions, which can make the exchange feel less tense at first. But his questioning technique is precise and strategic. His questions may sound similar, yet each one is slightly different. For witnesses who are not telling the truth, this quickly becomes confusing, as their answers begin to contradict each other.
• Adv Sello SC
She leads evidence in a friendly and relaxed manner that makes you feel comfortable. Once you start talking, she tightens the grip and by then, it’s too late to defend yourself.
• Adv Hassim SC
Robust, informed, and straight to the point. She knows your background and your statement better than you think you do. She finishes you early and decisively.
• Each of them brings a unique strength, and together they function as a formidable team.
Big up to the entire Madlanga Commission. We appreciate their work and hope it will not go to waste. We trust that President Cyril Ramaphosa will use their findings wisely and decisively.
