Since September 2018 the All Blacks and Springboks have played each other 11 times. The All Blacks have won 5. The Springboks have won 5. One draw. Of those 11 matches, 7 of them have finished within a 2 point margin. That’s 64% of the results determined by a single score. The average points scored by the All Blacks is 22.8. The average points scored by the Springboks is 23.5. Quite simply - rugby’s greatest rivalry.

An excellent article by @KevBloom. The smoke is so thick in the ⁦@MYANC⁩ corruption kitchen, they can’t see who’s steady what anymore: SA's light bulb moment: Eskom syndicates - same names,... dailymaverick.co.za/article/…

While ANC is governing, no attempts to reverse state failure - power outages, bankrupt SOEs, lawlessness, possible without radical party renewal. Most basic expelling corrupt leaders, ending cadre deployment for merit, making state independent from ANC. mg.co.za/opinion/2023-01-10-…

Beware of #deadcats South Africa. Keep your eyes on the ball to ensure justice for #statecapture. This we owe to ourselves, each other, our children and generations to come. If we don’t ensure the #StateCaptureReport is implemented, we have #statecapture2 loading. #JustAThought
