Dear Peterson,
You could have kept 30 clean shits, stoped 15 penalties, even saved the Rand, but nothing would have convinced Hugo Broos to select you. Nothing at all.
Chin up, he's going, you will not only get a call up, but you will own that No 1 spot.
Themba Zwane’s selection to Bafana Bafana has nothing to do with Football:
— It is a loyalty reward, this is his final call up, next World Cup he will be 41 years.
Ricardo Goss’s selection to Bafana Bafana has nothing to do with Football:
— It has everything to do with the owner of Siwelele FC who happens to the current Minister of Sports.
The good news ?
It is only 3 games and we will never see Hugo Broos’s face again.
They must give Bafana Bafana to Benni McCarthy after this, Pitso had his fair share, he did nothing.
It is high time to invest in our own.
St. Joseph holds a distinguished place in Catholic piety as the foster father of Jesus Christ and the husband of the Blessed Virgin Mary. A humble carpenter from Nazareth, he exemplified the dignity of honest labor through his daily toil, providing for his family with quiet devotion and integrity. Though the Gospels offer limited details about his life, portraying him as a just man who obeyed divine guidance, his example has inspired generations to view human labor not merely as a necessity but as a participation in God’s own creative work.
The Church formally honors St. Joseph the Worker on May 1, a feast instituted by Pope Pius XII in 1955. This observance coincides with International Workers’ Day, offering a Christian response to secular and ideological movements of the era. By elevating St. Joseph as the patron of workers, the Church underscores the sanctity of human labor, which finds its roots in the Book of Genesis and reaches fulfillment in the life of Christ, who himself learned the carpenter’s trade in Joseph’s workshop. Pope Pius XII emphasized that no worker had been more profoundly penetrated by the spirit of the Gospel than this silent saint, who lived in intimate communion with Jesus through both family life and shared labor.
St. Joseph’s life demonstrates profound virtues essential to workers across all ages: piety, diligence, humility, responsibility, and trust in providence. He protected and sustained the Holy Family amid uncertainty, from the flight into Egypt to the challenges of daily existence. In doing so, he models how ordinary tasks, performed with love and fidelity, contribute to the divine plan of salvation. His patronage extends to craftsmen, engineers, and all who labor, reminding the faithful that work, when united to Christ, becomes a path to holiness.
Did you know? The Catholic Church has produced more hospitals, schools, universities, and orphanages than any other institution in history. All because of the command to love our neighbor. The faith has always been deeply practical.
Are you proud to be a Catholic?
'May the Lord grant a fitting reward to all those who have loved me and who continue to pray for me. The suffering that has marked the final part of my life, I offer to the Lord, for peace in the world and for fraternity among peoples'
Final Testament of Pope Francis, 2022
The blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus) produces milk so rich and thick it resembles flowing cream… perfectly adapted so her calf can feed underwater without it dispersing. A quiet, powerful reminder that every detail in nature is crafted with astonishing precision. Nature is magical 💙
"Remember that when you leave this earth, you can take with you nothing that you have received - only what you have given: a full heart, enriched by honest service, love, sacrifice and courage."
