⚠️ URGENT: NEW KIDNAPPING SCAM IN SOUTH AFRICA - PLEASE SHARE ⚠️*

Ladies, please be careful in town, taxi ranks, malls, and parking lots. There’s a new method kidnappers are using:

*How the scam works:*
1. *The approach*: A man in a car stops next to you. He calls you by a name or says “Hey, get in the car! We’ve been looking for you.”
2. If you refuse and say you don’t know him, he immediately switches tactics.
He turns to people around and says loud enough for everyone to hear:
_“Don’t worry guys, she’s my wife. She has amnesia / she’s mentally ill. She gets confused like this. I just need to get her home.”_
3. *Why it works*: People don’t want to interfere in “family problems” or with someone who “has a mental illness.” So they look away. That’s exactly what he’s counting on. That’s how he gets you into the car. That’s the strategy

*IF THIS HAPPENS TO YOU:*
- Do NOT get in the car for any reason.
- Be loud and specific*: Yell “*I DO NOT KNOW THIS MAN. THIS IS KIDNAPPING. PLEASE CALL THE POLICE AND HELP ME.*”
The word “KIDNAPPING” makes people react way faster than “I’m fine.”
- *Draw attention*: Drop your bags, sit on the ground, scream. Make it impossible for him to look normal.
- *Call for help*

*AS A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC IF YOU SEE THIS HAPPENING:*
- Don’t assume it’s domestic. Don’t walk away, help the victim.

- Step in and ask the Scammer directly*: If they know the person they are trying to take, if they say yes, Ask the lady (victim) to whisper her name to you or the Lady(victim) to show you her ID…then Tell the scammer/kidnapper to tell you the name of that lady(victim) he’s trying to take.… if the scammer gets the name wrong it simply means he was trying to kidnap the lady….
- *Call 10111 or SAPS* right away and tell them you suspect a kidnapping.
- *Take details*: Car color, make, license plate, location, what the man looks like. Send to police and share to warn others.

Kidnappers are using our fear of “getting involved” and stigma around mental illness against us. Let’s not let it work.

*Please share this with your sisters, mothers, friends, coworkers, and WhatsApp groups.* One share could save a life.
Stay in groups where you can. Trust your gut. If something feels off, it probably is.

*Emergency numbers for Johannesburg:*

One of funnier moments from Speed's World Cup run.

Two people ask for a selfie at Spain vs. France. He thinks randos. It's Ana Botín (Exec Chair of Banco Santander) and Juan Rigo (head of Mercadona, Spain's largest grocery chain).

Botín says "he's the Walmart of Spain and I'm the JPMorgan of Europe."

She pitches him to open a checking account at her US brand OpenBank with a juicy 4% deposit interest ("OpenBank like OpenAI").

Two billionaires and some of the "most important people in Europe" but Speed "has more followers" lol

A Russian training exercise using an aircraft YakB-12.7 machine gun bolted to a ground stand quickly turned to chaos when the immense recoil overpowered the mount.

I’ve long suspected the Starlink connection to Tony Leon’s firm. Now, did he advise Musk to run the deeply racially divisive campaign of white genocide lies that would make Bell Pottinger blush? The damage to South Africa is incalculable. Questions that need immediate answers.

Apple has an AI book slop problem. A big one.

A month ago, I found more than ten AI knockoffs of my book on Apple Books. Apple took them down. Today, others have popped up. Same problem for many other bestsellers.

Our country has enough money to invest R10bn per year on economic developments in all neighbouring countries, that would have developed the whole region. We have Eskom , Transnet , water boards to provide real skills. We didn’t, we opened our borders instead
