in simple terms, banks will now charge higher interest on loans, home loans, car finance and credit cards. and the prime lending rate has gone up to 10.5%. this makes life harder for people who already owe money or want to borrow.

Eid ul Adha is a reminder that nothing should be loved more than Allah. Not a person. Not your desires. Not this dunya. Because the story of sacrifice was never just about ibrahim[AS] and ismael[AS], it's also about us and what we're willing to give up for Allah.

610: Khadijah, who will belive me?? 2026: Millions Of People

Three men lost their lives on Monday protecting their community. Amin Abdullah, the security guard and father of 8, stood in front of the gunmen so 140 children could hide. Mansour Kaziha, a pillar of the mosque for nearly 40 years, called 911. Nader Awad ran toward the danger to draw the shooters away. They were fathers, husbands, pillars of their mosque. They chose others over themselves. Our hearts are with their families and the entire Muslim community of San Diego. Islamophobia kills. This is not a debate. It’s reality. 🤍 Innā lillāhi wa innā ilayhi rājiʿūn

Firstly, thank you for leaning forward and acknowledging the moment. I appreciate that you support non-aligned community initiatives. That's what I always thought until a significant shareholder and son of the founder implied otherwise. However, you are not condemning Mark's attacks on me, including using a misogynistic term (bitch), repeatedly, prior to this moment. Dischem cannot place the two of us on the same footing or treat our statements as equivalents. He initiated the attack with his misogyny and a blatant lie that maligned me personally and professionally. I also note your safe avoidance of mentioning him by name and referencing the significant words that were an activator of my response: I.e that I received money from his mommy and you as an institution. Until you make it clear that this is false, and that a significant shareholder calling me a bitch is unacceptable, then your words below are.....okay, I guess, but lack moral conviction and steadfastness.

For the first time in the history of the Great City of New York, its Mayor names and remembers the Nakba. And I get to be alive to see it.

The number of possible contacts with hantavirus-infected people has increased to 97 in South Africa. Health Minister Dr Aaron Motsoaledi has confirmed the number to the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) News. tinyurl.com/35x6cztx

Fact: He traveled there for his cooking show & when they tried to block this one episode, he said he would pull his entire show from the network & this was the first time the world ever saw behind the walls in Gaza 2013

One normal week in South Africa. That’s all I ask for.

No water in Hyde park @JHBWater

Flysafair's "R12" special prices after taxes and the fuel surcharge

Hi @JHBWater - no water in Dunkeld and Hyde Park

Nike spent ten years trying to break the 2-hour marathon. They named a project after it. They built special shoes. They paid the greatest marathoner alive to chase it. Yesterday, a Kenyan runner finally did it in 1:59:30, wearing Adidas. Sabastian Sawe used to be a pacemaker. A pacemaker is the kind of runner you hire to set the speed for the first few miles of a race and then drop out before the finish. In January 2022, Sawe got booked to do exactly that at a half-marathon in Spain. He'd never raced more than three miles in his life. He stayed in for the full 13 and won the whole thing. Adidas signed him not long after. Four years later, he became the first human ever to run an official marathon under 2 hours. Nike, meanwhile, started this whole project in 2016 with a public goal called "Breaking2." They paid for the shoes, the pacemakers, the science labs, and Eliud Kipchoge himself. Kipchoge ran 1:59:40 in Vienna in 2019, but the event was a closed-course exhibition with rotating pacemakers and a pace car projecting a green laser line onto the road. The sport's governing body never recognized it as a real race. It didn't count. Then Nike's running business cratered. Digital sales fell 26% in one quarter. Their share of footwear sold at Dick's Sporting Goods went from 39% to 32% in five months. On Running grew from $330 million to $1.8 billion between 2020 and 2025. Hoka nearly quadrupled. Roger Federer left Nike for On. Nike's board fired the CEO in October 2024. Adidas spent the same period building a better shoe. The new Adizero Adios Pro Evo 3 took three years to develop. It weighs 97 grams, about 3.4 ounces, lighter than a deck of cards. A Wall Street Journal-cited study found that wearing a shoe 3.5 ounces lighter saves a runner around 57 seconds across a marathon. Sawe beat the third-place finisher by 58 seconds. Adidas also did something Nike never did for Kipchoge. They wrote a $50,000 check to the official anti-doping body for track and field, asking it to test Sawe more aggressively than any other runner alive. He got tested 25 times in the two months before last year's Berlin Marathon, and Adidas signed up to fund this for the length of his contract. The logic: the moment Sawe ran a marathon this fast, the world was going to ask if he cheated, especially after his countrywoman Ruth Chepngetich got a 3-year doping ban in 2025. Adidas got out ahead of it. The shoe retails at $500 and is barely available. Adidas's Adizero shoes won half of all major marathon races in 2024. Yesterday in London, four of the top five finishers wore the same Adidas shoe. Yomif Kejelcha crossed the line 11 seconds after Sawe and also broke 2 hours. The top three runners all beat the previous world record. Nike's only response was an Instagram post. Three sentences long: "The clock has been reset. There is no finish line." That was their entire public reaction to losing a 10-year moonshot to their biggest rival.

Watch Sabastian Sawe 🇰🇪 run 1:59:30 to destroy the Marathon World Record in London!!🤯🔥 First man ever to break 2 hours in a marathon. 2. Yomif Kejelcha 🇪🇹 1:59:41 3. Jacob Kiplimo 🇺🇬 2:00:28 All under the previous World Record.

Justice Madlanga is going down as one of the best Justices to have served the country.

Great to see Bra Louis Seeco remain consistent in confronting injustice. He cut his activist cloth at Wits in the 1980s, when he made a huge personal sacrifice as an athlete by joining the “No Normal Sport in an Abnormal Society” campaign during the BSS era. Aluta Continua! ✊🏾

Houghton Golf Club bans a player because he has a Palestinian flag on his car. The insidious influence and control of and by zionists 🤔 is disconcerting.... Our justice centric patriot argued correctly...

South Africa was banned from the Olympics from 1964 to 1988 because it was an apartheid state. The ICJ declared Israel to be an apartheid state, so when does its ban start?
