@BoitumeloCaleb Having driven the tiggo 4 pro, I'd happily go for a second hand F30 320d, you posted one earlier in the month going for 280k, surely that's a better deal surely
Help us find this brother so we can assist him with lodging a complaint against @JoburgMPD
Lawlessness can never be celebrated!
@Jaca_Patrick we hope there’ll be a statement today on steps you will be taking on this matter and that these officers will be placed on suspension.

Lionel Messi, as the captain of Argentina, led his team off the pitch at Maracanã Stadium on November 21, 2023 and there was 27 minutes delay. Argentina won 1-0 over Brazil and this was a FIFA World Cup game https://t.co/Gfjd914Lup
BREAKING: Iran has attacked an oil tanker named “Skylight” near the Straight of Hormuz.
Maersk is now suspending all shipments through the Strait of Hormuz.
Twenty million barrels of oil passed through the Strait of Hormuz yesterday.
Today the number may be zero.
Not because Iran mined the water. Not because a tanker was hit. Because Lloyd’s of London picked up the phone.
War risk underwriters began canceling policies for strait transits hours after Operation Epic Fury launched. The Financial Times confirmed premiums surging 50 percent. Baseline war risk sits at 0.25 percent of hull value. For a hundred million dollar tanker that is 250,000 dollars per voyage. At peak escalation rates, one million per transit. Vessels linked to American or Israeli interests are becoming uninsurable entirely. No price. No policy. No passage.
The KHK Empress was loaded with Omani crude heading for Basra when it executed a U-turn mid-strait and redirected to India. The Eagle Veracruz halted at the western approach carrying two million barrels of Saudi crude bound for China. The Front Shanghai stopped off Sharjah with Iraqi crude destined for Rotterdam. Nippon Yusen ordered its entire fleet to avoid Hormuz. Greece told its merchant armada to reassess passage. Hapag-Lloyd suspended all transits.
None of them were fired upon. Every one of them got the same call.
More than fifty million years ago the Arabian plate collided with the Eurasian plate and compressed the Persian Gulf into a basin that drains through a single geological bottleneck twenty one miles wide. Twenty one percent of global petroleum. Twenty percent of all seaborne LNG. One fifth of industrial civilization’s energy supply forced through a tectonic accident narrower than the English Channel, bordered on one side by the country whose supreme leader was killed yesterday morning.
The USS Abraham Lincoln carries enough Tomahawks to sink every IRGC patrol boat in 48 hours. Operation Praying Mantis crippled Iran’s operational naval forces in eight hours in 1988. The Fifth Fleet has rehearsed this scenario for decades.
None of that matters. Aircraft carriers cannot force an underwriter to rewrite a policy. Tomahawks cannot lower a premium. The most powerful navy in human history cannot make a Lloyd’s syndicate decide that a VLCC transiting Iranian coastal waters represents an acceptable risk on a Saturday afternoon when missiles are landing in Dubai.
Goldman Sachs estimates Brent could peak at 110 dollars per barrel. JP Morgan projects 120 to 130. At those levels every airline bleeds cash. Every central bank watches three years of inflation fighting reignite overnight. Bypass pipelines from Saudi Arabia and the UAE handle roughly three million barrels. Hormuz handles twenty million. The math does not close.
Iran figured out something the Pentagon still has not.
You do not need to close a strait. You just need to make it uninsurable.

Stan Wawrinka praises Novak Djokovic:
"Novak is in a different league anyway. We never compare ourself to him. He's always there. He's always going to be there as long as he's playing. And it's always amazing the way he can push everybody."
Knowing when stages come to an end.
Knowing when to say goodbye when you feel that you will be remembered and respected forever.
Four months to give my all for this badge and for our goal.
Eternal respect and affection for Manchester United and its wonderful fans.
Forever Red Devil.
Roger Federer on Novak Djokovic:
“Novak was the party crasher of Rafa and Roger fans. When I first played him, I said 'He’s ok.’ But I wasn’t convinced. I didn’t give him the respect he deserved, but then he became a monster of a player."
