Wondering what time to vote on Wednesday? You might have shorter queues if you vote in the afternoon or early evening. Polls: 7am to 9pm Source: @IECSouthAfrica (Electoral Election Reports 2014 and 2019) #SAelections24 #elections #SAvotes #Elections2024 #SouthAfrica

I added some long-overdue (in many senses) green to the loadshedding calendar today: loadshed.theoutlier.co.za/ Not sure of the exact connection between rugby and loadshedding but maybe the #Springboks should stay in France a little longer? Just in case.

Remember when the UK made us complete Afrikaans general knowledge tests to prove we're South Africans before flying? But now they can't be bothered to figure out what 'wit kant' might mean? Tsek.

Well said!
This should be obvious. But… Redi has every right to speak in any platform, anytime. She speaks in her capacity as a human being with agency. She never claimed to ‘speak for us’, whoever ‘us’ is. Ok to disagree with her. But, who asked you to be the ‘vanguard’ of Mzansi?

Sowetan front pages have regained the old esteem of a newspaper front page early in the morning. This is an amazing tribute to Banyana Banyana.

This kind of ex-parte prior restraint of publication and incursion into media freedom is unprecedented in the democratic era. #Motifiles @amaBhungane

I understand that sponsorships are vital to sport. But when KFC sponsors South African cricket and then players are dropped from the national sides because they fail their 2km running fitness tests it does have a degree of irony
CSA and @KFCSA extend their partnership of both the T20 internationals and Mini-Cricket 🤝 Read more 🔗 bit.ly/42B9zZV #BePartOfIt
