Dr. Sthabile Kolwa, UNISA Astrophysics lecturer, is heading to the United States of America this coming weekend as a Fulbright Scholar at Stanford University until 31 July 2026. Dr. Kolwa is a Senior Lecturer in the Mathematical Sciences Department.
Making use of observations from state-of-the-art telescopes such as MeerKAT, she studies the life cycles of galaxies. Her research in the US will explore observational astronomy, focusing on the formation and evolution of galaxies. Specifically, she will study supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at the centers of galaxies, investigating whether inactive galaxies are massive enough to host active galactic nuclei—the core of her research.
The University proudly supports her and looks forward to sharing updates on her journey and discoveries upon her return.

“Pilot Alleges Racism and Irregular Fees at Progress Flight School
A commercial pilot has come forward with serious allegations of racism, financial misconduct, and retaliation at Progress Flight School, where he trained between 2019 and November 2023.
The pilot alleges that instructor Hennie Schoeman directed racist insults at him during training, at one point saying: “I can find a monkey or a baboon to fly like you on autopilot.” The pilot described this as the most devastating moment of his training, leaving him humiliated and emotionally scarred.
He further claims that Anemie English, wife of the school’s owner John English, also made racially offensive remarks. Despite these experiences, he delayed reporting the matter to the South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA) until after completing his training, citing legal advice and fear of further delays.
Upon completing training, the school allegedly demanded R100,000 in disputed fees. The family says the statement provided was inadequate but paid the amount to secure the issuance of the pilot’s license. Another student later alleged that Schoeman admitted the money was needed to settle Anemie English’s personal debts.
Instead of addressing the racism allegations, the school allegedly threatened legal action, accused the pilot of coaching witnesses, and shut down a student WhatsApp group after his mother raised concerns in a letter. The pilot reported the matter to the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) on SACAA’s advice but says the SAHRC has failed to act for more than a year despite repeated follow-ups.
The pilot also claims that more than 30 students left Progress during his training and that negative Google reviews have been removed, raising further concerns about the school’s reputation.
To date, neither Progress Flight School, SACAA, nor the SAHRC has issued a public statement in response to these allegations.”
I grew up adoring Mahatma Gandhi. I don't know what bullshit they taught in school that influenced that adoration.
Then, I picked up books.
That guy was a racist piece of garbage - absolutely detested Africans.
One of his life goals was to see a world where, he didn't mind Indians inferior to the whites as long as they were classified superior to Africans.
One of the first "fights" he fought on landing South Africa was the enforcement of two separate entrance doors for whites and Africans.
Please pick up history books. It will shock you the amount of reinforced revision we were forced to ingest as children.
Just be open minded, be malleable - because you'll find punctured holes in the very religion, tribe and ideologies you adore.
Fuck Mahatma Gandhi.
We're making steady progress on restoring streetlights. For 4 years, the city wasn't budgeting for streetlights! Last week, we restored 1,760 streetlights across all regions. Here are some of the streets that have been restored. One by one 🙏
Vuka, Tshwane. We have a city to build 🇿🇦♥️🇿🇦
@jsteenhuisen I'm not a Tshwane resident but I visit regularly.
I'm happy with @nasiphim. If the DA wants support... they must assist her in her work.
It'll help us see your ppl who genuinely care about the ppl.
Thank you.
@jsteenhuisen Good morning John,
Don’t worry about Tshwane ActionSA Mayor and her partners are busy fixing the city from all the Problems You and Your DA did for 8 years running Tshwane.
@jsteenhuisen The Current Mayor is doing exceptionally well. Sometimes putting the best interests of Citizens mean we don’t have to contest for the sake of it.

Community take a stand 👇
First it was a Kenyan Senator praising Traore in Kenya's parliament, now a Namibian politician doing the same.
Admiration of the revolution is spreading from West to East to South.
Something is happening in Africa and no one will stop it.
The city of Johannesburg is filthy. It is filthy, the roads are appalling and it is not a World Class African City. We will remember this in 2026 at the voting station.
@Recon1_ZA @RediTlhabi That was a really long essay and I for one hope everything you said in it is true so you can leave as soon as possible and take as many of your kind as possible so the rest of us SOUTH Africans black and white who want to live together can do that without you 👍🏾😂
