https://t.co/RWIomKlpXj - great detective work on SASSA SRD grant fraud by some first-year @MatiesCompSci students. Let's hope this gets some serious attention @SisisiTolashe @The_DSD @dailymaverick @NPA_Prosecutes

@WXVRugby The WXV2 website still says 38-26 - when this is corrected, then South Africa should have a 3rd bonus point after Round 2, right? (Is there info somewhere on tiebreakers at the end of the tournament?) @WomenBoks

[Steve Kroon @skroon]

Congratulations to all the winners! (But especially to Jacobie as a past @MatiesCompSci student ;)
