Let’s talk about some of the real victims of property theft. 70 years ago, on this day, Sophiatown’s destruction commenced. At dawn, 4000 police and soldiers cordoned off the suburb and houses were demolished. Trucks moved families to Meadowlands.

I'm super excited to be cheering on my brand-new colleagues at Sibanye-Stillwater in their clash against Mamelodi Sundowns on Saturday. Go Stars!

Cover Story: Inside the dark world of illicit mining by @janamarais

Illegal miners (nicknamed #ZamaZamas in #SouthAfrica, from the #Zulu term meaning “take a chance” or “try your luck”) have long been a feature of the #gold industry.

After a long hiatus from journalism, I had a lot of fun working on this week's @FinancialMail cover story about "Trump-proofing" the SA economy. Shoutout to Sean Uthum for a fantastic cover design as always! https://t.co/Z3DvWA7VtF via @BusinessLiveSA

The number of journalists killed during Israel’s war on Hamas is appalling and unprecedented.

79 in just three months, according to @pressfreedom

Journalists in Gaza are our eyes and ears for the truth, and must be protected, like civilians, under the laws of war.

[Lindsey Hilsum @lindseyhilsum]

More journalists have been killed in the first 10 weeks of the Israel-Gaza war than have ever been killed in a single country over an entire year, according to ⁦@pressfreedom⁩ https://t.co/FsTsHOZ5jI

It would mean the world to me and many others who have benefitted from Bessie Head's genius if we could get this campaign to digitise her letters at the Khama II Museum fully funded. They are just over $3000 short. https://t.co/cdUgtzUjdo

@TheBookerPrizes Read @dbbovey's Finding Endurance cover to cover, pausing only to add wood to the fire (and thanking my lucky stars I didn't need seal blubber). Whether your genre is travel/adventure/memoir/self-help/management - this book is a treat.

@GTalevi @CityofJoburgZA Mine up 62%... quite incredible given that house prices have gone nowhere in my neighbourhood since I've moved there 7 years ago.
