Met a kiwi fan on a flight now. Said he was adopted by an SA family after the Lions game. Went to their house for a braai after, came back next day for a family lunch, ate his bodyweight in meat & sat sharing stories by the fire till the embers died. The spirit of rugby lives.

Can we talk about that second image and the three people standing on the roof taking in THE ENTIRE SHOW 😱

@DummySwitchPod :( would have been great to have him back at the shark tank

🚨 The R400 Billion Disaster

In 2007, South Africa was told that two new power stations would solve the electricity crisis once and for all.

Butttttt, fifteen to eighteen years and somewhere between R300 billion and R450 billion later, Medupi and Kusile became two of the most expensive coal power stations ever built.

Instead of ending load-shedding, they helped prolong it.

This is the story of how two flagship projects turned into one of the largest infrastructure failures in democratic South Africa.

I’m releasing Part 1 of the series, Darkness by Design - with both the full video documentary (YouTube and X) and the detailed written article dropping at the same time.

The trailer is live now.
The full episode and article drop this evening...

@SARugbymag @thepaulwilliams @SharksRugby new attacking style could really suit Nohamba

ANC procurement scandal exposed: Dept of Correctional Services was paying R726.57 per litre for cooking oil... while the market price is R29. Gravy powder? R3,735 vs normal ~R920. For 150,000+ inmates.

New Minister Pieter Groenewald just slashed it to R26-R29/litre and is reviewing thousands of dodgy contracts. How much was stolen over the years? Time for full accountability.

@jppietersen14 @SharksRugby Tinus de Beer would be a fantastic signing!

10.8 - Defenders beaten per 80 minutes in the @URCOfficial this season (min. 200 minutes):

10.8 - Zekhethelo Siyaya

Unstoppable.

Did You Know?

Starlink gives 1GB of Data at R1.

10 GB of Data at R10.

This is a serious threat to MTN, Cell C, Telkom and Vodacom.

Remember Gwede Mantashe's son is a chairman of MTN.

[Don @Don_Bran1]

Siyaya is an incredible talent! Fassi will have his hands full when he comes back from injury.

Sharks also have Luan who had his debut at 15 recently and looked fantastic he plays 10 and sharks are in need of a new flyhalf.

@DummySwitchPod Big loss!

[Don @Don_Bran1]

@jaredwright17 Any idea when we can see Manu back in action?

[Don @Don_Bran1]

@SharksRugby When can we expect Manu to be back in action?

[Democratic Alliance @Our_DA]

🚨52 corrupt contractors blacklisted!

Under DA Minister Dean Macpherson, Public Works has taken decisive action by blacklisting inefficient contractors, a major jump from just 2 contractors blacklisted between 2002 & 2024. We're rooting out corruption & protecting public funds.

[Karabo Khakhau MP @KaraboKhakhau]

🤣 At this point I want to register to vote in Johannesburg

[ScrapPensionsTax🇿🇦🗣💚 @NtatoRona]

@Brettbenraphael @Obieoberholster Wrong, ANC & its GNU partners, adding more Fuel Levies & Eskom tarrifs from April...this is no April fool jokes @Our_DA

[Don @Don_Bran1]

@simonrug Devastating for Faletau.

How bad are McNally and Notts injuries? Is Donnell back?

[The Rugby Philosopher @rugbyphilosophy]

This is pure defamation.

Using a photo of Rieko Ioane (who is completely unrelated to this story) is a disgusting way to get clicks. Rugby Lad should be ashamed of this ragebait garbage.
