Seeing lots of comments on the red card, so here’s my perspective: a croc roll ended my career, paralyzed my foot, led to 4 surgeries, and brought lifelong mental challenges. Croc rolls aren’t just dangerous—they’re life-changing. Player safety has to come first.

‘Sorry, my bad.’ - English person admitting a mistake. ‘Sorry, my bad.’ - Afrikaans person telling you to get out of their bath. Have a nice day. ❤️

The Irish just don't get it. It's not about just performances over a relatively short period. It's pedigree. The Springboks & All Blacks have pedigree. That essentially takes a century to earn, cultivate and obtain. The Irish, as great a side as they are now, don't have pedigree.

Kolbe defending at center now. Expect him to run the final leg of the 4x400m in the Olympics tomorrow and then enter Miss South Africa next week.

There's someone I really want to speak about and want more people to know about Ntsika Fisanti his story and path he's taken to get to where he is has been admirable, to say the least. Muir College, Eastern Province,College rovers ,Sharks , Blitzboks, and now the Pumas. He has been one of the Pumas best players in the opening two rounds. Brilliant tackler , hard ball carrier , steals balls and huge work rate , a diamond in the rough. Will be the finds of Currie Cup 2024

THE AVENGERS was released 12 years ago this week. The first movie featuring Earth’s Mightiest Heroes on-screen together, and one of the most successful films ever made, the making of story will have you heading for the nearest shawarma joint… 1/48

Mascarin Peak is South Africa's only active volcano 🌋 and is about 200 m taller than Table Mountain. It's on Marion Island - roughly 2300 km south-east of Cape Town. Administratively, is falls within Ward 115 of the City of Cape Town. #randomfactfriday 💡

How to END your @Vodacom contract! 1) You must go into their store with you ID. 2) Make them pull up your contract details on their computer. 3) While sitting there, screen open, call the cancelation line. Make sure you get the consultants full name and write it down first so they can't just drop the phone on you when they realize you will not renew your contract. 4) If you want to keep your number, tell them to move it to prepaid and "port it" so another provider can take it upon your request. 5) To cancle the contract, they will ask for about 5 million details thay they will 'need' you to confirm - being in-store with your details open on their screen makes it easier. 6) Check changes have been made by refreshing on the system of the person in the store, while your still on the phone with the consultant. Make sure you see the changes have been made. 7) And wait for the cancelation SMS before putting that phone down! - Do not drop the call before receiving the sms and seeing the change on the screen. (THE CONSULTANT'S WILL LIE TO YOU) 8) Know that if you want to cancel you contract early there will be an unreasonable amount to pay. 9) If you want to cancle because their products are not delivering what they promised, you need to log 3 faults before becoming eligible. You must do it in the space of 2 weeks or less. Otherwise they will mark the fault as "resolved" without doing anything to fix it or even check the issue was actually resolved. Because they don't want you to become eligible to cancel. Each fault with take about 30mins of your time to log it. @Vodacom is a fraud.

Scientists at the Cape Town Institute of Technology have used modern AI and rendering software to generate this image of what Jan Van Riebeeck probably looked like when he arrived in 1652, incredible!
