From the Bahamas to the top of the world. 🇧🇸 ➡️ 🇿🇦🥊

In 2017, a young, hungry Siyakholwa Kuse stood on the podium at the Youth Commonwealth Games in the Bahamas. He was just a kid proudly wearing the green and gold, introducing himself to the world and getting a taste of what international competition felt like. Back then, it was the start of a vision.

What followed was nearly a decade of absolute sacrifice. No shortcuts. Just relentless discipline, grueling gym sessions, heartbreak, and the unwavering determination to prove he belonged at the absolute pinnacle of the sport. Every single fight and every tough lesson was just preparation for something bigger.

Nine years later, the destination has been reached.

On May 16, 2026, the journey came full circle on home soil at Emperors Palace. Siyakholwa "One Way" Kuse put on a masterclass performance to defeat Melvin Jerusalem and capture the WBC World Mini-flyweight Championship. He didn't just win a belt, he made history as only the fourth South African WBC champion ever and the first to win it at home in over two decades.

From a youth medal in the Bahamas to the iconic green and gold WBC World Title belt in South Africa—the dream is officially reality.👑🇿🇦

Ntlabakanye being banned for what he declared on his form remind me of one time when I was young , and i got a hiding for going to play with my friends at the quarry.

my father said it was fine to go , but when i got home and told my mother where I was she gave me a hiding with the wooden spoon and I could not see my friends for a week.

I am not saying it was a good idea to go play at the quarry, but let me tell you I was not happy with my father : /

@talkcentss So it becomes a volume game and not a margin game, then yes, to your question. No brainer.

[Martin @mrtuckbox]

@talkcentss Does the lower price affect the producer or the entity if they thought they would make more per apple and grow turnover or is it not for profit?

21 year old Aldrich Potgieter has made history at every stage of his career, becoming the second youngest Amateur Champion, youngest Korn Ferry Tour winner, youngest player to ever shoot 59 on a professional tour, and the youngest winner from South Africa ever on the PGA Tour.

Today, he just shot his first ever round in the 60s at a major with a 3 under par 67 to currently hold a share of the lead on his PGA Championship debut. He said after the round:

“I think it helped this morning being out so early. There wasn't a lot of people out there this morning on the first couple of holes. So it was nice to kind of get in my own little space and kind of get a groove in early on.
It's nice being in America playing here over the last two years and kind of coming to these big events, playing more Signature Events as well. I definitely feel this week I'm more comfortable.

“I had some really nice finishes in the last couple weeks, kind of momentum moving in. So that's also nice.”

He went on to talk about how it feels to shoot his lowest round in a major:

“Yeah, it's nice to be on the leaderboard early on in the week. I think the last couple of weeks I didn't have that first round where I got myself close enough to the leaders, and kind of felt like I had to catch up a little bit.
So it's nice to be in this position now and getting in before hopefully the wind picks up a little bit for this afternoon. It's nice to get out early and get the first day done.”

If Aldrich were to win this week, he would be the youngest winner of the PGA Championship since it became a strokeplay event.

This video is less than two minutes long and I implore everyone to watch it. It is indeed rather extraordinary.

As Holocaust Awareness Ireland says, Patrick Kielty exhibits utter callousness with respect to the attacks on the Jewish community, astonishingly saying ‘the backdrop of that is obviously the horrors in Gaza, this is a complex thing.’

Boy George remains calm and says ‘if you don’t know any Jewish people maybe that’s the problem.’ He then asks the audience ‘do you know any Jewish people?’

Boy George is visibly taken aback by the ensuing silence, and vocalises his shock twice, remarking that it is ‘weird’ and ‘surprising me a little bit.’ Patrick looks uncomfortable and ends puts an end to the topic with a dismissive ‘mmm’.

Extraordinary viewing. Just extraordinary.

Very interesting sportsbiz read. In France, the Top14 rugby TV deal is now bigger than the equivalent football one, and the bottom club in the Top14 gets more money than many clubs in football's Ligue1.

Lionel Messi's iconic free-kick goal against Liverpool. It’s from the 2019 UEFA Champions League quarter-final (his 600th goal for Barcelona). It is so perfect👏

[Sana Ebrahimi Ledene @__Injaneb96]

Let me show you how this works:

It’s Friday morning. You’re in America. Coffee in hand. Half-awake. Scrolling.

A headline hits you:
“America/Israel bombs residential building, 20 civilians killed, including 5 children.”
(These numbers are imaginary)

Your stomach drops. You glance at your kid. Or think about your nieces and nephews. Now you’re not just reading anymore, you’re feeling anger, rage, disgust.

By the time you get to work, the story has already settled in your mind as truth. At lunch, you bring it up. Your coworkers nod. Of course they do. Why wouldn’t they? It sounds real.
Now five more people carry that same anger.

They go home. They repeat it.
To friends. To family. Online.
Just like that, one headline becomes thousands of convictions.

But here is what never made it into that headline what you did not see, what no one bothered to check:

It wasn’t America. It wasn’t Israel.
It was a failed missile fired by the IRGC that fell on its own people.

And by the time the truth shows up, if it ever does, the damage is already done.
This is what an information war looks like in real time.
