Never missed watching a Protea test match together, even win the first ball was bowled at 2am in morning. Special to be at Newlands with my mom on such magical day.

At a certain age - not sure exactly which and not sure exactly how - you become legally obliged to answer any comment about the rain with "Sjoe, ja no, but we really need it hey."

Hi guys. Anyone know someone selling tickets for today? Mates had 9 tickets and been scammed and flew down for this match, one from Dubai. Pls share.

[Dean Oelschig @DeanOelsch]

Often we don’t nearly appreciate our greats enough while they’re playing and then miss them when they’re gone. Fourie du Preez, Dale Steyn, Kallis some examples. And now we have Pieter-Steph du Toit. One of the best ever. Lucky to watch him as he plays his 100th match today. 🐐

[Mike Stopforth @mikestopforth]

@VinnyLingham Nice! Couldn't agree more. Poker is life.

[Dean Oelschig @DeanOelsch]

Loved making this for Pick n Pay and Bokke! What a team! A real privilege to work on this. Featuring cameos from Dan Carter, RG Snyman, @RugbyPodcast, Big Jim, Siya, Sous, Eben, Edwill, Bismarck, Oom Daan and Impi. We really set out to make a different kind of rugby ad. Enjoy.

⚠️ Scam alert ⚠️
Capitec CEO Graham Lee Deepfake.

By now, you've probably heard of deepfakes. These are fake AI videos, often used by scammers to get you to send them money or hand over your personal details. We’ve discovered a recent one doing the rounds...

"Earn R100k online!"

"10x your money in 1 month!"

Scammers don’t win because they’re smarter than you. They win because they understand you. They know how to create urgency. Curiosity. Excitement. Trust.
By the time you realise it…it’s too late.

Introducing: Slam the Scam. 🧵

If you think the Indian broadcast is biased, don’t be ridiculous.

@Laurenterras @ExclusiveBooks Thank you so much for the support Lauren!

[Lauren Terras @Laurenterras]

Embarrassed to admit I didn’t know about this book. Fixing that immediately — straight to @ExclusiveBooks after #PulseConference2026.

@mikestopforth you are an absolute showman. Insightful, engaging, and impossible to ignore #pulseconference26
