This guy right here is @RichMulholland and he's probably my favourite speaker in South Africa. If you've ever seen him present one of his keynotes on a stage, you will know why I'm so excited to announce that he will be the main keynote speaker at our first @SuitsSneakers event of the year 🥳 Spoiler alert: If you live in Joburg, the first 200 tickets are free if you want to see Rich in-person ❤️ For the last 6 years, I have kicked off every year by hosting an event called RISE. There is always a special and renewed energy that accompanies the start of a new year and we want to make sure that 2024 is your best yet! RISE will be taking place on the evening of Tuesday, 30 January 2024 at The Tryst (Woodmead, Sandton). We will also be streaming the event on the night for those that aren't based in Joburg or South Africa. You can book your tickets here: qkt.io/SSRise24 On the night, I will personally be quizzing some really smart people on the tips and tricks we can use to knock 2024 out of the park! This means I have a few more names to announce in the next few days. PS. Please feel free to share this tweet along if you think anyone else should know about this awesome event 🥰

It's a very emotional moment to release this video into the world. I hope we make South Africans proud and I hope many more internationals visit. This is our love letter to Cape Town 🇿🇦❤️ youtu.be/8btv-eCw900

I just want to try inspire you to fall in love with South Africa all over again. Especially small towns across this beautiful country 🇿🇦❤️ This is where the soul of South Africa resides and when you visit them, you see the true nature of South Africa 🥳 Tomorrow morning, Jeandre and I are embarking on a 8-day road trip from Joburg to Cape Town 🥳 I did this road trip a few weeks ago and fell in love with all the small towns I stopped in. I just knew I had to do it again, bring my trusty videographer with me, and give ourselves much more time to showcase the beauty 🇿🇦❤️ So that's what we're doing. We're taking 8 days to make a video of this special road trip. The goal is to SHOW you all how beautiful our country really is. Especially all the small towns that deserve more love! Thursday: Drive to Gariepdam and stay over Friday: Drive to Nieu Bethesda and stay over Saturday: Drive to Prince Albert and stay over Sunday: Drive to Oudtshoorn and stay over Monday: Drive to Barrydale and stay over There are more stops after that but I'll share more about them after the first five towns 🇿🇦❤️ We are so lucky to have some incredible partners who are helping make this #LATRoadTrip possible. @SasolSA is the official fuel partner, we have our @KiaSouthAfrica Sorento getting us there safely, and we're so proud to announce to the world that @Veldskoenshoes are also partnering with us to make this road trip video possible. Your support means so much to us and I hope we do you all proud. Please keep comments and suggestions flowing throughout the trip. We will be posting daily! Here's to our beautiful country getting the recognition it deserves 🇿🇦❤️

A few weeks ago, I visited the fanciest petrol station in South Africa's to see what all the hype is about. I loved the experience so much that we decided to make a video showing others what they had done. If you've never been to The Pantry before, it's in a league of its own. My small team and I put an enormous amount of effort into these @likeatouristza videos so I would really appreciate it if you took the time to watch the full video here: youtu.be/UqdYb7-rqT4 Big thanks to David Higgs and his team for allowing us to take over The Pantry for two hours on this particular day. We had a good laugh together as you will see in the video! If you don't watch the full video, you can just enjoy this small teaser that I've uploaded. Either way, we always appreciate your support in the form of likes, comments, and shares which help get these videos out there a bit more!

It's hard to be positive about South Africa when you don't have electricity for half the day, you read news reports that the country is broke, 80 murders a day, unemployment is sky rocketing, and our education system is broken. Most people are left with the helpless feeling there's very little we can do. But this is where I want to remind you that we are less than a year away from the national election. There is one VERY REAL THING each of us can do and that's get ready to vote. And then we are able to encourage others to do the same. The problem is, South Africans complain about the status quo and then don't show up the one time they have the power to elect change. It's insane. The truth is, South Africa won't get better unless we do. The purple part of the circle in this picture is the percentage of people that didn't vote in the last general elections. Basically, more people didn't vote than did vote in 2019. This is apathy at its finest. If you want to know how the ANC have stayed in power while continuing to destroy everything in sight, it's because there are no consequences to their actions. They get to do as they please, while some vote for them again, and many others stay out of politics entirely. I know many people who didn't vote, and when I gave them a hard time about it, they said they're not interested in politics. And that's my point, you may want nothing to do with politics, but every facet of politics impacts all of us as citizens, all the time. So where to from here? 1. It's your job to encourage others to get involved. 2. It's your job to get vocal about change. 3. It's your job to get others to vote. Or do nothing. Either way, but remember, we collectively get the government we deserve. PS. I'm begging you to retweet this post. Not for engagement but because you want the same change I do. We have less than a year to go but the time is NOW!
