You can't even set most gym treadmills to the speed this guy just broke the MILE world record at. They max out around 12 to 14 mph. Josh Kerr held 16.2 mph for the entire mile today: 3:42.66, breaking a record that had survived 27 years.

The pace on this new mile record is just wild.

It works out to 13.8 seconds per 100 meters. Go sprint 100m all-out right now. If you're slower than 13.8, Kerr was moving faster than your sprint, and he did it 16 times in a row without stopping.

In 1954, Roger Bannister ran the first four-minute mile, a barrier people once argued was the limit of human physiology. Put Bannister's race on the track next to Kerr's today, and Kerr finishes while Bannister is still 110 meters back, coming off the final bend.

The man who lost the record, Hicham El Guerrouj, set it in 1999 with no pace lights and no super spikes. Beating him took 27 years of shoe technology plus a four-month engineering project Kerr named after the goal time itself. The margin: 0.47 seconds.

And El Guerrouj isn't finished. His 1500m record, set the year before on the same track, turned 28 this week. Only three men since have even broken 3:27. One record fell today. The harder one is still standing.

This is a little bit technical, but if you have ever been a victim of a digital bank scam, you MUST read this; it gives brilliant counsel on what your rights are and what you need to do if your bank doesn't play ball. Thanks @DirkdeVos for this:

WAPFSA warns that #SouthAfrica’s #rhinos face a critical tipping point due to escalating #poaching and controversial government policies that favour trophy hunting and the commercial wildlife trade.

There are two northern white rhinos left on earth. One is Fatu. The other is her mother, Najin, and today she is the birthday girl.

[Sue Spurgin @SueSpurgin]

Still fierce. Still defiant. Still fighting to survive. 🖤🦏
With fewer than 7 000 black #rhinos remaining in the wild, every sighting of these extraordinary animals is a privilege. May future generations inherit a world where they remain wild, free and of course "horny!'

#SouthAfrica 3 #Rhinos slaughtered, 2 brutally dehorned. 1 poacher killed in anti-poaching shootout. After #DawieGroenewald escaped jail time for #rhino horn trafficking, are poachers now feeling even bolder because profit outweighs risk? https://t.co/uxOWvnwZA2

This weekend is voter registration weekend. This means that the IEC will be at every voting station ready to register voters for the upcoming municipal elections.

If you have registered previously and you have not moved since the last municipal election in 2021, then you more than likely don't have to register again, but I suggest you just check your registration status to see if you are still voting in the right area.

There are four methods for you to check your registration and two to register to vote.

1. You can check your registration status by SMS'ing your ID number to 32810

2. You can check your registration status here: https://t.co/bTR7AKlYW1

3. You can register to vote online here: https://t.co/Mo8KMz6KhI

4. You can go to your nearest voting station in person and register to vote. You can see where your nearest Voting Station is here: https://t.co/87vh4EHIGn

I know that many people are frustrated with the state of South Africa and don't even want to bother voting, but this is a right that many people died for. Do the right thing and ensure you are registered to vote and VOTE in the upcoming election to change South Africa for the better.

[Sue Spurgin @SueSpurgin]

The very thing that makes #rhinos iconic has become the reason they are slaughtered.
Rhino horn is NOT medicine. It is NOT a status symbol.
The only place it belongs is on a live rhino.
Get the point?
Don’t let them fade to grey…
before they disappear forever 🦏⚫⚪

My friend @deanwingrin is bringing out a new book on the SAAF

This new book, "Strap In and Fly: Exploring South African Air Force Aircrew Flight Gear since WWII" by Dean Wingrin, takes a deep dive into the often-overlooked world of the South African Air Force’s (SAAF's) aircrew equipment. From the rudimentary leather helmets and goggles of the immediate post-war era to the cutting-edge, integrated systems of today, the book charts the evolution of flight gear, showcasing how it has mirrored the advancements in aircraft technology and the changing strategic landscape.

Due to launch in late September/early October 2026, register your interest now!

There’s no payment required at this stage, just let us know if you're interested. Please enter your details below, and G5 Books will contact you with more information closer to the launch.
