@FlySafair why are your PE staff members rude, your flight controller especially. You had a large group of sports teams and tour groups in check in . We have to wait hours in a line . I get to bag drop I’m told no your where late. I was not I have been in the line for hour .poor
Her phone was placed back into her hands, and when she was told to open the banking app, the familiar interface recognised her face immediately, showing the same balance she had stared at in her kitchen, except now the number was no longer a future to be protected but an instruction waiting to be carried out under fear.
I think the biggest problem we have as South Africa is being Crime Apologists. The ILLEGAL miners at Stilfontein are not trapped, they don’t want to come out because they will get arrested. And yet we have calls to send food and ARVs into the shaft? Where have you heard where criminals make demands for nourishment while they conduct crimes? It’s insane!
As Opening Ceremonies go this one is already an incredible, brilliant, beautiful, innovative and a wonderful advertisement for all the fantastic things about France.

The first time I met Dr Tshepo Motsepe, we were sitting together at an event where former President Mbeki and I were scheduled to speak about the importance of encouraging South Africans abroad to return home to build the country. I was suffering from a cold and sneezing uncomfortably. A highly qualified doctor, she texted her driver a prescription for me and before long I just saw medicine being delivered. I have seen her a few times since in different circumstances and each time I left with one impression of a kind, caring and nurturing human. A mother.
When I see the regrettably unAfrican social media critique of her at 71, I wondered what happened to us. Our humanity and culture.
Looking at our own mothers, at 71, many would have lost a step or syllable or two, and have wrinkles that merit the journeys they have travelled: Raising children and communities. Building careers and families. All the while being underestimated; taken for granted; earning less while doing the most; being abused and used; walked all over and not appreciated.
Despite our best efforts, we can't dictate what nature serves us. Certainly, I don't know where or how most of our grandmothers, mothers, sisters or aunts would look like at 71. Or how anyone of us would. But I sure hope and pray I would be as dignified, qualified and respected as Dr. Tshepo Motsepe is in her field and society.
She has bothered no one. Has never been in the papers for the wrong things. Never sought the limelight or approval of public. And obviously hasn't resorted to the short-cuts most of us take with botox, bleaching, BBL, weaves, and the likes that seek to defy or redefine nature.
She is like most of our mothers, and just happens to be in the public eye because she married the most public of figures, the President of the Republic, Cyril Ramaphosa. She deserves the respect and adulation we pay our mothers and women like her who have carved their own paths and successes. Unless what we are reflecting in these social media streets is how we treat our own mothers.
This is scary , this exposes to me how our Government is not leading, we should be delivering even to the poorest of the poor. The three next largest economies , combined dont collect our monies, in total and per capita.
@RediTlhabi Here is the truth if you watch this , Cuito Cuananavale was the biggest tank battle since WW2. Cuba , USSR , MPLA , Mk and Swapo( had bases in Angola) fought UNITA , US , Mobuto Zaire . It was Inconclusive but they had to end the war in Angola, Free Namibia and SA after that
