A certain @PicknPay outlet in an affluent neighbourhood in the Southern suburbs of Cape Town refused me to take photos saying Pick 'n Pay has that policy in their shops. So, Pick 'n Pay, do they? Or do they just not want their commercial exploitations to be revealed?

@CapeTownFreeway But why are there congestion so early (05:40) in the day between Kraaifontein and Century City? Was there an accident?

Sê vir my daar is nie geld in die staatskas om werk vir almal te skep nie, en dat dit so is dat miljoene sonder werk moet sit, dan vra ek jou hoe de hel jy dit regdink dat 'n skoonmaker in die staatsdiens dieselfde as die ontvangsdame by 'n spa in die privatediens moet verdien?

@Oriana_RSA As a white child growing up in the 90s I often missed my mom because both parents worked 12 hours a day and on weekends. They had tw businesses. We were housemates, not a family. We had wealth, but not strong bonds. Today we have strong bonds even though we don't have wealth.

@BrentLindeque is so positive, he could make a Democrat positive about Trump!

[SMG @elridus]

@zeteo_news @mehdirhasan My question for Ask The Editor later today is this: In terms of right violations in his fascist's ways, can Trump officially be regarded as worse than Hitler yet? If not what should still take place before we can draw that conclusion?

@melindaSMACKED It was on 1 September 1999 that I took my last smack. I read this in Bamboozled on 1 September 2025. Truly a great coincidence.

“Piglet?” said Pooh.

“Yes Pooh?” said Piglet.

“I feel rather heavy today,” said Pooh.

Piglet looked up at his friend, puzzled. “Heavy? But you haven’t eaten all the honey again, have you?”

Pooh gave a little sigh.

“Not that kind of heavy. The kind that sits in your chest when you hoped for something wonderful, but instead… you lost.”

Piglet nodded slowly.

“Like when we try very hard to reach the top of the hill but our legs give out before we get there?”

“Yes,” said Pooh. “Only this time it feels bigger, like the whole country tried climbing, and we all tumbled back down together.”

They walked quietly for a while, their footprints soft in the earth.

“Pooh?” said Piglet, carefully. “Do you remember when we tried to build a kite?”

Pooh thought for a moment. “It fell down, every single time.”

“Yes,” said Piglet. “But every single time, we laughed a little louder, and ran a little faster, and learned something we didn’t know before. And one day, that kite might fly.”

Pooh tilted his head. “So losing… is still part of learning?”

Piglet smiled. “Yes. Sometimes the falling teaches us how to stand stronger. And sometimes, it just reminds us that standing together matters more than winning.”

Pooh’s tummy gave a small rumble, and he chuckled. “And you know, Piglet, whether we win or lose… there is still honey.”

Piglet grinned. “Exactly, Pooh. There is always honey. And friends to share it with.”

And with that thought, Pooh’s heart felt lighter. For even in the shadow of losing, there was sweetness still... in honey, in hope and in walking side by side with a friend.

@GodPenuel What I appreciate about Penuis that he isn't afraid to ask the questions I as a white person have been too afraid to ask. Go forth and don't stop! You and @iamSivN are my go-to sources to undertaking blackness. Where others fail you have survived. I solute you both.
