A young unemployed TVET graduate says he owes about R74,000 for a qualification that has not helped him secure a job, with rising penalties making it harder for him to study further, and he is now calling for urgent assistance from the department.
@ManCity The exodus has started. Remember the names. Yaya, Aguero, @21LVA, @fernandinho and then KDB decides to go on a free. Same with Bernado. City moves on being serial winners. Scary fact
Trafford’s best moment today wasn’t even the penalty save IMO.
There was an instance, around 34:40. Liverpool were on top. Bernardo has the ball, trusts Trafford, plays it to him under pressure. I instinctively blurted out ‘punt it’.
Instead he receives, manipulates the presser and invites him, plays it calmly to Khusanov, and in that second, City have created a gap to exploit.
From there, City go from one box to another, win a corner, and score the goal. Thereafter, Liverpool crumbled.
Momentum shift. Similar to the League Cup final.
Of course the saves were lovely, but little moments like that matter I think.

White people under apartheid at the University of Port Elizabeth paid R2840 p/a for fees — 84% of its was subsidised by the state, leaving them with a debt of R440 p/a if they managed to complete a 3 year degree in 5 years. Don’t buy their “we worked hard for our things” rubbish
I wonder how many of you knew that this is almost one company.
Sandile Zungu is the largest Black shareholder at Lanseria International Airport.
He saved Lanseria from having 38% of it falling into foreign hands. He bought that stake for R400m in 2024.
He also owns 100% of AmaZulu FC.

Every time I lose my head after a defeat that falls on Pep, I remember this phone call to Sheikh Mansoor after his first trophy, the 2018 Carabao Cup against Arsenal. I still believe in this man.
@bensmithrugby@RassieRugby, did you see this nonsense this dude is posting!
We don't do negativity.
When we win the RWC 2027, please no politicians, just the ouens that "kotsed" while training deserves it!
This is a poor take from Ben. The Springboks are absolutely winning it in 2027. They will manage to stay at their peak especially when they are under the second-greatest coach the sport has ever seen, a man who knows exactly how to navigate a World Cup. They’ll go back-to-back-to-back, becoming only the second team in history to pull off a three-peat after the Black Ferns. That would lock them in as the second-greatest team in rugby history in terms of RWC titles, where they absolutely deserve to be.
And this time, they’re going unbeaten. There’s a big chance their pool games land in Perth, basically a mini South Africa and they’ll roll through those for the first time since 2007 since they won’t meet either all blacks or Ireland this time. Most of the players you mentioned are 40–50-minute guys anyway, which is completely manageable. Half of them won’t even need to touch the field in the group stage. Which means they only need 160–200 brutal, clinical minutes in the knockouts to win another World Cup. And if there’s one thing the Springboks know, it’s how to get it done.
Save this tweet Ben.

Dear South Africans: Heads of State and their delegations, multinationals, global development, and multilateral agencies are used to DRAMATIC protests outside Summits. From UNGA, COP, World Bank/IMF to G7, they know that people protest with billboards, placards, blockades.
At the G8 Summit in 2005, protestors threw red paint outside George W Bush's plenary to protest US war in Iraq. A massive protest against Tony Blair took place in Edinburgh. At Climate conferences, thousands of protestors turn up, inside and outside plenaries.
At EU Summits, world leaders are lampooned right outside the venue by angry protestors. Outside the White House, a huge statue if Trump and Epstein was displayed. At Times Square, massive billboards of protest are displayed.
None of the delegates descending on Johannesburg are going to crap their pants because of billboards.
Their foreign missions have briefed them extensively about the true state of affairs in RSA. They know the good and the bad. They will go to restaurants and the Kruger Park and see that the billboards on race laws are crap.
International Businesses have operations in some of the most unstable and volatile countries. Enough energy on Afriforum and Solidarity's billboards. On second thought, they are actually flaccid. Move on, focus.
The Inequality Report Commissioned by RSA is important. It succinctly highlights the nexus of inequality and threats to democracy. It tells us that 1% of the world's wealthiest increased their wealth by 41% in 5 years; that countries experiencing inequality have a 7x chance of seeing a reversal of Democratic norms. Now, will world leaders adopt inequality as a global emergency? That's what matters here..not some orange billboards.
