@FER44Rl There should be no safety car deployed in the last 10 laps IMO. If there is an incident that requires a safety car in the last 10 laps, the race should be red flagged. Fair and dramatic
Dear @UnionStGilloise
There is one thing I’d like you to know about South Africans🇿🇦.
We may banter & argue amongst ourselves, but the moment one of our own moves to Europe, we unite behind them. That’s who we are.
Now that Relebohile Mofokeng is part of your family, we expect to see him everywhere. We want training photos, matchday content, behind-the-scenes moments, we want to watch his journey every single week. Let him become one of the faces of your social media. 😮💨
If you need an example, have a look at what Chicago Fire & the MLS social media team have done with Mbekezeli Mbokazi. They’ve embraced the South African audience, & we’ve embraced them right back. We’d love to see the same energy for Rele.
Trust us, South Africans will follow all your social media pages, engage with your content, & support the club because one of our own now wears your badge. 💃
And one last thing, we already know about the Belgian Super Cup final on 31 July against Club Brugge. We want to see our boy on that pitch! A potential Relebohile Mofokeng vs. Shandre Campbell showdown is something every South African football fan is looking forward to.
Please don’t disappoint us.
Yours faithfully,
A South African football fan 🇿🇦
PSA: South Africans are going to be absolutely insufferable on X for the next few days.
If you think we are already insufferable....well, we're going to be worse.
Sorry, not sorry.

4-year-old Andile Mbambo, popularly known as Andile The Calculator, has taken social media by storm with his sharp mathematics skills. His father Xolani Mbambo asks his son to compute complex numbers. The two have stolen the hearts of social media users with their fun father and son bond. They speak to @MpumiNgubeni .

@UncleCul Without joking man, it's interesting how we have so much going wrong yet so much going on for us. The people too make it so bearable. I just can't get over the character, soul and grit the entire nation has. Running away from our problems? Not a South African thing to do.
Most so-called political analysts lack technical depth in economics, law, and political theory. They argue from emotion and ideology, not evidence—consistently falling short. Instead of educating, they fuel confusion, laziness, and ignorance.
This isn’t analysis. It’s performative noise disguised as insight. Substance over slogans.
@mailandguardian Time to drop this victim mentality.
Adv Ngcukaitobi voluntarily took on this case. As a lawyer, he simply did the right thing. No one set him up.
@CweBophi The Mandela’s in general exemplified remarkable selflessness for SA’s liberation. Similarly, the Hani family and many more. Yet this came at a profound cost to their children’s development. We owe them deep gratitude and much more.
@mteton@Stanton1000@mkhayist @umeh098 The question also asks the number of dots we can see/perceive, doesn’t necessarily say we can extrapolate. I’ll revise to 8. 😂. I don’t see number 9.
**IN THE SPOTLIGHT: BARLOWORLD
Barloworld’s Buyout: A Case Study in Leadership, Ownership, and Economic Transformation – The Journey
I did not go looking for the Barloworld story. It found me. I still remember the moment it crossed my path. It was not only the weird headlines that caught my attention. It was the noise behind them. The panic. The distortion. The easy narratives being tossed around by people who had not bothered to interrogate a single document, governance paper or the MBO structure itself.
I saw a leadership story being flattened into political theatre. I saw a complex transaction being reduced to caricature. And something in me refused to let that stand.
It arrived as a murmur. A headline stripped of context. At first glance it looked like another corporate transaction. But within weeks it became clear that something deeper was unfolding. Because in South Africa, when a Black man with a spotless record suddenly finds himself under intense scrutiny from the establishment, something is up. The young ones would have simply said, “This is suss.” Hehe my son should not see this.
South Africa was watching a leadership transition it did not yet understand, a transformation milestone being flattened into noise, and a governance process being misrepresented by people who had not read a single document beyond a press release.
I recognised the danger immediately. Not for Barloworld alone, but for what this moment meant for the credibility of Black leadership, the integrity of governance discourse, and the public’s trust in how major corporate decisions are made.
If this narrative was left unchallenged, it would cement yet another myth that competence and transformation cannot coexist.
The Barloworld buyout will be studied in boardrooms, business schools and governance circles for decades.
Read the full retrospective on this landmark transaction, now available in the latest edition of the Executive Leadership Magazine.
If you followed Parts 1–7, here is the full journey.
If you didn’t, this is the version you need.
I invite you to take a moment with this piece. Grab your favorite cup, immerse yourself, let it settle, reflect on it, and share what resonates with you. I’d love to hear your thoughts.

China is an Engineering State. The US is run by Lawyers. Deng Xiaoping transformed China by building a technocratic state around engineers.
The stunning turnaround of @Eskom_SA was orchestrated by Engineers. The Minister, the Chairman and CEO are all Engineers
