@WhiteLionII1 No my bra, don’t feel guilty, helping yourself to the states money is not wrong. We all do it no problem. Come let me hug you comrade thief.

Why do they wear sunglasses inside?

Huge congratulations to Leon Kluge and team on bringing home Gold at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show for the third consecutive year with their “Life After Fire” display. We can’t wait to welcome visitors to the 'Stanford in Bloom' & 'Chelsea Flowers in Stanford' from 12-27 Sep 2026.

@OverstrandMuni That is some feat! Bravo Leon and team! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

President Cyril Ramaphosa will recognise Springbok Coach Rassie Erasmus with the Order of Ikhamanga in Gold later today. It is the highest of the national orders, and acknowledges Erasmus's leadership that led to successive Rugby World Cup victories. #MorningLive #SABCNews

@pookiepolls @janefernan30729 😥😥😥😥😥😡😡 This is so sad. I have been a guest at Kirstenbosch about 2 years ago. What i saw was heartbreaking. I asked one staff member what is going on and the only response i received was silence and rolling eyes. Being one of Cape Towns major attractions 😥😥 @geordinhl

I saw this on FB and it made me very sad. Is their absolutely NOTHING that this criminal government can do properly. Written by James Deacon. I am about to write what has to be one of the most difficult and painful posts for me to write on Facebook. On Friday I was given news which unfortunately I cannot disclose yet that has forced me to turn my back on something I truly love with all my heart: Kirstenbosch Garden. I have been involved there for 19 years due to my love and passion for the garden. However Kirstenbosch is no longer a place that brings me joy and happiness but rather pain and sadness. When I walk through nursery now I see neglect, decay and death. The amazing plant collections that have taken decades and more to establish sit neglected slowly dying. The Protea collection is less than a third of what it was and only a fraction of the Ericas remain. One plant has gone from extinct in the wild to completely extinct purely due to lack effort to keep it going. Places once full of plants sit empty and in some cases full of weeds because the production of plants is so diminished. Great plantsmen and women like Ernst van Jaarsveld, Monique McQuillan , Louise Nurrish , Cherise Viljoen , Anthony Hitchcock who I admired and looked up to all left way before they should have because working there had become so unpleasant and because things like procurement made it impossible for them to do their jobs. One told me when they tried to order pots the response they got from the management of SANBI the SOE that runs many of the country's botanical gardens was what were they cooking. Another ordered pots and three years later they yet to arrive. Poor financial management has resulted in the organisation having to use funds donated for educational purpose to pay staff salaries. Kirstenbosch no longer has a Protea or an Erica expert and hasn't had either for years. Staff morale is at an all time low and respect for the leadership of the garden has broken down. The garden cannot produce metal labels to tell visitor what the names of the plants are. I say all these things not out of animosity to anyone or with the desire to see people in trouble. I say these things because I love the garden and what I am seeing is breaking my heart. I am also saying these things because after all the friends, experiences, knowledge and memories the garden has given me I feel I have a duty to speak out for the garden in difficult times such as these. I don't know what will happen to me for saying all this. Maybe I will be banned from the garden or get into trouble. However I refuse to stay silent and standby while the things and people that I care about suffer. I also feel that we the current custodians of the garden have a duty to preserve and protect the work of those custodians of the past for the custodians of the future. We have two choices to be remembered as those who fought for Kirstenbosch during its most difficult and challenging times or as those who sat idly by and allowed it break down and be ruined. I don't know if anyone will read this or if it will achieve anything but I will not keep silent while the place I love suffers and will continue to speak out against what is happening.

So special. ❤️

Most iconic funny cartoon moment😹

@cartunfunn Can’t get enough of ‘em. Creative genius. Hilarious. And not a computer in sight in their making.

I can watch this all day long 😂

@RussellPiazza @IRanMediaco Where is the proof that Iran was on the verge of nuking the US of A??

@IRanMediaco I have no problem paying more for fuel if it means we destroy Iran’s ability to threaten the world. This should have been taken care of decades ago. President Trump is simply eliminating a problem others ignored.

BREAKING: Donald Trump is on the verge of becoming the most foolish president who drove the highest oil prices ever

@TheRealClementM @karynmaughan @Radio702 I suggest suspending him on full pay including bonuses and all perks for 5 years! That will punish him!

@LePapillonBlu2 #America ?? What on earth are you doing? Have you guys lost the plot? To think that we once looked up to you is laughable.

JD Vance: “I know you’re worried about yet another foreign entanglement, but rest assured that 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚 we have a genius as president.” This gotta be a joke.. RIGHT??

@toondrops So glad to have grown up when this was on TV. Simpler is definitely better.

Life was simpler when this was on tv.

@Brink_Thinker Brilliant. 🤩 👏🏼

Who calls classical music boring? It's straight-up rocket fuel.
