Minimalism can cure the human condition. Travel = life. I once battled @Grok over a chocolate video trick and won!

Leo Prinsloo. Former Captain in the South African Police Service Special Task Force, which is the country’s equivalent of the SAS, involved in everything from counterterrorism to security details for two US presidents and the Queen of England. After leaving the service, he became a tactical training instructor and took on part time work as an armed security escort in Pretoria. On April 22, 2021, on the N4 highway in Pretoria, his cash in transit vehicle was ambushed by a heavily armed gang who opened fire and began a high speed chase. Prinsloo immediately took evasive action, weaving through traffic, ramming one of the attack vehicles, absorbing multiple rounds through the bulletproof glass, and driving himself and his partner out of the kill zone. When the vehicle eventually stopped, he grabbed his rifle, exited the truck, and set up an ambush of his own. The robbers saw him kneeling down to take aim and fled without taking a single rand (dollar). His partner Lloyd Mtombeni was on only his fourth day on the job. The dashcam footage went viral worldwide, and tens of millions of people watched it. Prinsloo downplayed his actions and said the real heroes are the cash in transit workers who face these risks every day.

@KwazaUnathi It will only get worse as more and more private solar replaces Eskom. It's the state utility death spiral from which @Eskom_SA cannot escape.

@PulseXZA Unfortunately the first mistake was to accept cash and not work through the Airbnb app. Still sad and unnecessary.

NEW: Justin Trudeau's girlfriend, astronaut Katy Perry, is under investigation for s*xual assault. The allegation came from Australian actress Ruby Rose, who accused Perry of s*xually assaulting her at a Melbourne nightclub. "Melbourne Sexual Offenses and Child Abuse Investigation Team (SOCIT) detectives are investigating a historical s*xual assault that occurred in Melbourne in 2010," said the Victorian Police to Fox News. "Police have been told the incident occurred at a licensed premises in Melbourne’s CBD. As the investigation remains ongoing, it would be inappropriate to comment further at this stage." Rose claims that after the assault, she "threw up on her." "After it I threw up on her. I told the story publicly but changed it to be a ‘funny little drunk story’ because I didn’t know how else to handle it," Rose claimed. "Later she agreed to help me get my US visa. So I kept it a secret. But I DID tell yall she wasn’t a good person. Instead, I got attacked by... everyone." A representative for Perry has denied all allegations, calling them "categorically false, they are dangerous, reckless lies." "The allegations being circulated on social media by Ruby Rose about Katy Perry are not only categorically false, they are dangerous, reckless lies," the representative said. "Ms. Rose has a well-documented history of making serious public allegations on social media against various individuals, claims that have repeatedly been denied by those named."

Got retrenched last year. Joined Takealot to do deliveries with my car. But it was a lot on petrol. So I decided to switch to an automatic bike. I went from spending R400 to R150 per day on petrol. Plus I make more orders than I did with a car. #Takealot #Hustling #petrolrelief

From the viewpoint of a seasoned HR specialist: While the calculation mistake is evident and must be corrected internally without delay, the completely overlooked issue is the employee’s sharing of official internal correspondence outside the workplace. Actions like this erode trust between employer and employee and breach fundamental principles of privacy and confidentiality. In my personal opinion, she should undergo a disciplinary review, as this does not reflect the expected level of professional behavior from any staff member.

@CyrilRamaphosa If it wasn't for the fact that 15% of South Africa's electricity is generated privately (up 90% from 2020), we would still have loadshedding. Thank private citizens and businesses for this.

140 years of engineering mastery. From the Benz Patent Motorwagen in 1886 to today’s electrified S-Class and digital platforms, Mercedes-Benz has shaped the car’s evolution at nearly every stage. Heritage matters. Continuity matters more. 🔗 Full story in comments #MercedesBenz #AutomotiveHistory #Driven @MercedesBenz_SA

EV feel. Petrol backup. The Leapmotor C10 REEV drives like a pure EV but uses a petrol generator to stretch range to around 970 km. For South African conditions, that balance makes sense. Not perfect, but a smart bridge between petrol and full electric. 🔗 Full story in comments #Leapmotor #Driven #EVTransition

The S-Class doesn’t do minor updates. Over 2,700 parts revised. New illuminated grille. MB.OS supercomputer. Plug-in hybrid range beyond 100 km. Rear-axle steering standard. The Mercedes-Benz S-Class remains the benchmark. 🔗 Full story in comments #SClass #MercedesBenz #Driven @MercedesBenz_SA

In 1978, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class W116 introduced the world’s first production Anti-lock Braking System, developed with Robert Bosch GmbH. ABS allowed drivers to steer while braking hard. Today, every confident emergency stop traces back to that moment. #MercedesBenz #ABS #Driven @MercedesBenz_SA
