Absolutely the best decision, well done Sir. These free rides all over the world for “super fans” are bullshit, whilst our real athletes are struggling to fund their own trips when representing our country.

[Gayton McKenzie @GaytonMcK]

I have stopped all trips for super fans, we have athletes & artist who are struggling to raise money to attend sporting events and exhibitions, how do we justify paying for fans? We shall no longer be paying for these trips and will use that money where it’s needed the most.

@jennaChallie1 Wholeheartedly agree results paying off for international athletes. Unfortunately not SA athletes. We are worlds behind the rest. Blame can be apportioned to the various federations. Board members need to stop pilfering, feeding themselves, use the funds for developing youngsters

@jennaChallie1 @PUMASouthAfrica @BrettBellinger @brettchallie Great stuff Jen, stoked for you. Here’s to new beginnings with @PUMASouthAfrica

Couldn’t agree more, great read and even more inspiring then @OscarChalupsky his stellar paddling performances over the decades.

One of the most extraordinary & inspiring books I’ve ever read. If you don’t know ⁦@OscarChalupsky⁩ or his story, you should. He’s a testament to the awesome power of the human spirit to overcome any adversity. Thanks for sending Oscar - I loved it. 👍

Maybe working on a school project, customer presentation, a merger and acquisition, attending a course on self-improvement. The best tasting meals take minutes to eat yet hours to prepare. The sweet taste of Success is worth the bitter hours of sweat and toil.

Honestly, with the number of blinders that @JimmyNeesh has taken in the @SA20_League if he was on Tinder, he would be the catch of a lifetime

And so the events begin again, so good to be back @bedfordviewathletics with @modernathletemag putting on the @dischem_pharmacies 21km

You can have all the right kit, but with the wrong mindset, you may as well have none.

@NatalieGermanos @therealdevos17 By the looks of your Propic, doesn’t look like you would’ve made the Ter Horst Girls 3rd team. Let the lady do the job she’s duly been assigned to do and you spend your time trying to decide which team you actually support 🤦‍♂️
