Chinese automaker Chery has confirmed it will establish a local manufacturing plant in SA, which is expected to create nearly 3,000 jobs across upstream & downstream sectors. A powerful testament to how Chinese enterprises drive SA’s economic growth & achieve win-win results.

South Africa please do the same 😭

I would suggest that the Moms gatecrash the Dad event. Sometimes educationists are a little behind the times - to put it mildly.

I don’t understand people who cannot do things alone. It’s wonderful to do things with family, friends etc. But I’m puzzled by folks who can’t travel, eat at a restaurant, see a movie etc, alone. Try it. It’s different and fun.

People who moved abroad alone in their 20s, handled all docs, bank account, visa, tax, jobs, accomadation, and culture difference These people fear nothing anymore

I’m at the age where i understand that paying a little extra for convenience and comfort is absolutely okay.

South Africa is set to pilot drive-thru police stations in a bid to improve service delivery and reduce long queues at stations. The initiative, expected to roll out in major metros, will allow members of the public to report crimes, submit affidavits, certify documents and pay fines, without leaving their vehicles. Officials say the move is aimed at “modernising policing” and easing pressure on frontline officers. A SAPS insider says if successful, the model could be expanded nationwide. More details expected soon. #SouthAfrica #SAPS

[EXPLAINER] Young professionals are increasingly leaving Cape Town for Johannesburg in a trend experts call “reverse semigration,” driven by high living costs in the coastal city.

Hello Mayor Morero ⁦@CityofJoburgZA⁩ and ⁦@MyJRA⁩ - this hole is still opened near Colony Centre. A car literally flew into it. Thank God the driver wasn’t hurt and the car’s removed but the hole is still there. ⁦@helenzille⁩ in case you need another dip.

Thank you to @HellmannsUK and @EdelmanPR for keeping the team fed and sending over these delicious sandwiches to Campaign HQ! 🥪

With the Strait of Hormuz still closed, this feels like those weird couple of weeks before the global Covid lockdown. A surreal complacency, with a few people warning of what’s coming. If oil and fertilizer don’t start flowing to Asia soon, this will be a major catastrophe.

Patrice Motsepe — mining magnate, philanthropist and football club owner — is going to be the next leader of the ANC. There’s no question. He’s ethically clean, dynamic, charming, rich as Croesus and smart, writes @Bruceps. sundaytimes.timeslive.co.za/opinion-and-an…

Open for less than a year, this beautiful property is definitely holding its own in South Africa's tourism and hospitality landscape. Excellent team, luxury service and mouth watering restaurant offerings #ParkHyattJohannesburg
