What a farewell vid from @cocker who clearly loved his time in South Africa…
If you haven’t followed @cocker from EggChasers on YouTube do so now. The guy has done wonders for SA Tourism in highlighting just how good we have it in SA on his travels during the Ireland series. A great bloke with fantastic content.

SA about to enter by far the most important fortnight in the Young Democracy's history. Dr Frans Cronje explains in some detail why the next two weeks will result either in the country catapulting ahead, or an implosion. Brilliant analysis. On BizNews now: biznews.com/interviews/2024/…

I wrote a few lines of Python code to show you how screwed we are:

FB, Insta and WhatsApp being down is exactly why Web3 is necessary. We've given too much power to FB. Own your data, your platform, your influence and let it move around with you. What's Web3 you say? From tomorrow you'll hear a lot more about it...

Zuma and Malema enjoyed the delicious Nkandla Tea.
Many wondered why.
