I cannot believe we used to have medical and food fact checkers here: Dr Sindy and Chef Lesego... Twitter used to be sectional.. CBD, Sandton, Gym, Sports, Properties, Entrepreneurship, Entertainment, Cooking, Medical, Legal and Political. Everything got fact checked here, nothing went unchecked 🤣 Sometimes we would clash but we had ways to handle things.
Today, it's just a place full of idiots and robots. Covid and Elon Musk ruined this platform
The literacy crisis isn’t that people can’t read the words. It’s that they can’t understand the context, infer meaning, recognise nuance, identify contradictions, or draw logical conclusions from what they’ve read.
Two young South Africans looked at the e-hailing industry and saw the same problem drivers have complained about for a decade.
You work 12 hour days. You cover fuel, maintenance, data, your own safety. Then a platform based on the other side of the world takes 25 to 45 percent of every single trip.
Persy Qamata and Msizi Mtolo built Bro Cabs because they were done watching that math play out on SA roads.
Their model is simple. Zero commission. Drivers pay a R300 once off verification fee, then R600 a month. Every Rand from every trip after that belongs to the driver.
Their words, unsoftened: when a driver hands over 30 to 45 percent of every trip, he isn't building anything. He's just surviving.
It's not only about the money.
Bro built its safety stack around the reality of SA roads. Panic button. Verified drivers. Live trip sharing. A 24 hour line where an actual person answers.
Big platforms treated South Africa like just another market to conquer and move on from.
Two local founders built something rooted here instead.
That's not a small thing. That's a driver keeping what he actually earned.
Built in SA. For SA. By SA.
I see ya'll asking why would they pair Matsheliso with Lesiba, the real question is why would they cast a groovist for marriage?

Les gars! You guys don’t realize how insane this was 😂😂😂
Déjà, le tennis est un sport sans chronomètre. Il n’y a pas de « temps réglementaire » On joue jusqu’à ce qu’un vainqueur émerge de la bataille.
Sauf à Wimbledon!!!!
Comme le tournoi est situé dans un quartier résidentiel, il est strictement interdit de jouer après 23h. Contrairement aux trois autres Grands Chelems (Roland-Garros, l’US Open et l’Open d’Australie), où les matchs peuvent se poursuivre bien après minuit et ne s’arrêtent généralement qu’à cause des intempéries.
Maintenant, ajoutons un peu de contexte!!!
Avant ce match, Coco Gauff et Belinda Bencic s’étaient déjà affrontées 7 fois. Coco menait 5 victoires à 2. Puis, lors du China Open 2025, une grosse dispute éclata entre elles lorsque Bencic accusa l’équipe de Coco de faire volontairement du bruit juste avant ses services. Une accusation finalement sans fondement, mais l’animosité était bien là!!!
Nous voilà donc pour leur 8ème confrontation!!!
Bencic remporte le premier set.
Coco répond en prenant le deuxième.
Direction un troisième set décisif: le pire scénario possible!!!
Pourquoi? Parce que les deux savaient qu’avec le couvre-feu de 23h, une interruption pouvait tout changer: le rythme, les sensations, le momentum… tout.
Et c’est là que le cinéma commence.
Un officiel arrive sur le court.
« Mesdames, il ne vous reste qu’un seul jeu avant le couvre-feu
🙆🏾♂️🙆🏾♂️🙆🏾♂️
Coco sert pour le match: si elle se fait breaker, elles reviendront le lendemain avec une Bencic complètement relancée après avoir recollé au score dans ce dernier set.
Et si elle tient son service, c’est terminé.
Imaginez la pression: les supporters de Bencic donnent de la voix. Le stade est en ébullition. Une seule occasion. Aucun droit à l’erreur.
AND SHE DID IT!!!!
Elle a gardé son sang-froid, conclu le match et évité une reprise le lendemain qui aurait pu complètement renverser la dynamique.
Absolute CINEMA

Unpopular opinion: Your child's name isn't the place to be creative. They'll have to explain, spell, and pronounce it for the rest of their life. Please be more intentional.
Jonasi called HIV Iqosi and his pride didn’t let him take ARVS, Essie wanted to take care of him when he was really sick- jonasi’s pride - “I am not going to die in Soweto”
He saw a gun from Joyce and he thought she wanted to kill herself: not him
On his last days his daughter asked for an apology : and he said”I am the parent “
His pride: his pride killed him the most
I see the sex addiction but his pride takes the cake.

#ThePolygamist should have been on SABC or Mzansi Magic, it is not reaching the right target for me on Netflix. I want the Jonasis, Joyces, Essies, Matipas and Lindanis across all social classes to see themselves and possibly reflect.
You’ve seen #ThePolygamist and saw how Jonasi went out… just know, that is not just TV drama, it is real life consequences.
Multiple partners without protection increase your risk of STIs and HIV. Ignoring treatment does not make it go away, it makes it worse.
Knowing your status is power. Using protection is responsibility. Taking your treatment is survival.
If you stopped treatment, come back, reinitiate and stay on it to achieve an undetectable viral load. This means living a healthier life with zero risk of passing HIV on to others.
Remember, prevention options such as PrEP and Lenacapavir can help protect against HIV, but condoms are still essential to protect against STIs like gonorrhoea, syphilis, herpes, chlamydia and more, as well as unwanted pregnancies.

Not sure if you’re aware, but a young woman died at @CartrackZA’s offices, and they’re reportedly super abusive.
Can you maybe interview the CCMA about why Caetrack allegedly has never lost a case there? And Dept of Labor, Human Rights Commission about holding them accountable?
