Here’s an idea 💡 get the petrol tankers off this road and sort out the 🚂. Continued deathtrap as the truck drivers dice each other. Millions spent on upgrading the roads and now burnt and damaged with massive repairs needed probs.

Marizanne!!! What a player 🏏
Seriously hope things go our way so we can watch them in the semi’s at the Oval 🇿🇦

Hello @ExclusiveBooks - your courier partner @AramexSA is totally unreliable. Two books ordered as birthday gifts, none have reached their destination despite being “ collected by courier” - weeks later. What am I paying delivery for?

While there are other real and existential crises to worry about. The news about a Pronutro rejig has me worried. We buy chocolate Pronutro at a massive premium from our local SA store but our kids LOVE it second to none. What has happened?
