If you live here long enough, this is the Joburg crime experience: someone you know personally is killed. In this case: Steven Gruzd, a very well-liked analyst and foreign-policy expert. Kidnapped and killed. Shocking and tragic.

1/2 Congratulations to ESKOM for making strides in the resolution of load-shedding. Eight of the fourteen power stations are registering EAF of 70% and higher, including one performing at 91.1%. This is a remarkable improvement from the average low of 48% in early 2023.

When I pray for peace, I pray not only that the enemies of my country may cease to want war, but above all that my own country will cease to do the things that make war inevitable.

We have been discipled by our culture into meanness and not mercy.

Jesus says, “blessed are the merciful for they will be shown mercy.”

These words are not a condemning lecture but an invitation to consider the humanity of others.

The Springboks will end the year at No 1 for the sixth time since the World Rugby rankings were introduced in 2003, and the fifth time in the past six years. https://t.co/x9Jx8s11fW

What leads us to ignore experts isn't their knowledge. It's their arrogance.

Evidence: Scientists are more credible when they admit what they don't know, acknowledge what they got wrong, and update their views.

Trust is earned by expressing humility, not by asserting authority.
