Cape Town rental property market is definitely running a covert data harvesting scheme, cos why would I need to attach my job contract on an application to rent an apartment???

Paulinho da Costa se tornou o primeiro brasileiro a ganhar estrela na Calçada da Fama. Mas não sei se observaram, a mídia não deu o destaque que deveria. Paulino tem mais de 6 mil músicas gravadas. Ele trabalhou com mais de 900 artistas, como Michael Jackson, Quincy Jones, Madonna, Elton John e uma constelação de astros mundialmente famosos. Um patamar inalcançável! Não temos que só aplaudir, mas reconhecer que ele é um grande mestre da nossa cultura. Sigam ele nas redes sociais que só tem 40 mil seguidores. instagram.com/dacostapaulinh…

1 year with no loadshedding 🎉 Since 15 May 2025 at 22:00. Congrats.

Luvo Manyonga 🇿🇦 back on top in Africa again!! From crystal meth addiction, to almost being killed, to rehab and then to African Champion. Out of the sport for almost 7 years, Manyonga produced a mark of 8.15m to win the men's Long Jump title at the African Championships in Ghana! 📸 @MakingOfChamps

Muitos não conhecem Paulinho, ele trabalhou com Michael Jackson, adicionou o som da Cuíca Brasileira em Wanna Be Startin' Somethin', além disso ele simplesmente fez a percussão de Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough usando GARRAFAS DE VIDRO. Entenderam? 🇧🇷

youtube.com/watch?v=sRDMnw… One of the coolest pieces of music to which we did jazzing (jazz dancing a la Cape Town) was this one. And Deja Vu with Philip Bailey on vocals. The C90 TDK cassette survived many rewinds. Obrigado, Paulinho da Costa.

@mvsmonteiro Yep.

You probably never heard of him. But you’ve heard him . Definitely. A lot.

Well deserved.

@Variety There is a documentary about him on Netflix. The Groove under The Groove 😍 netflix.com/br/title/82715…

Paulinho da Costa poses with the Brazilian flag during his Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony.

Hey guys, the screening of Truth Be Told: Bones of Memory is happening tomorrow. Entry is free and please RSVP for catering purposes (see poster for those details).

Lamine didn't raise a Hamas flag. He raised a Palestinian flag. The fact that you all find it offensive to even see a flag of Palestine or them existing as people is a you problem, not Lamine's problem. And its deeply disturbing.

A good day at the office. This interview airs Friday, May 15 , Friday 19:30 pm, GMT (21:30 in RSA) on @AJUpFront. We spoke about the systemic rape of Palestinian detainees. Everyone is talking about Nicholas Kristof's report but there were MANY before it, including Albanese's one in March. Forensics, footage, survivor statements etc. Before you make a noise about the article that followed rehashing Hamas mass rapes, it was based on an unverified and unpublished report. It is widely believed that Israeli intel knew Kristoff's piece was coming and quickly influenced publication of a different article, which mainstream international media quickly published without the same burden of verification placed on Kristoff's piece. We also talked about the US sanctions against her, with a US court has just suspended because they were based on lies and malice. I hope @NelsonMandela Foundation feels strong and energized. They were harassed for daring to invite @FranceskAlbs to give the Annual Lecture. It is GOOD to stand for justice, truth and accountability. Fransesca reminded me of her parting words to me at the Nelson Mandela Lecture "We shall dance again." Today she added "I couldn't even hug you in the end." One day I'll tell you why. But for now, this is where we are. Sanctions suspended. She can use her credit card again.

@RoryPetzer Spiritus ejaculata

This hoax has now come to a head.

Wild to think about how if Kristof lived in Gaza or the West Bank, the Israeli military would likely by now have just announced he was aiding terrorism and blown him up with guided missiles, as they’ve done to countless Palestinian journalists over the last three years.

@CPUT Congratulations to you, Ahmed!
