Not the right consultant? Watch for this: Talks more than they listen. Rushes solutions. Overpromises. No clear process. Avoids tough questions. Generic advice. Weak experience. Poor communication. Never challenges you.

Honoured to MC the launch of the 2026 Saldanha Easter Tournament. First time on the media side, but my connection goes back to recognising it as a key Weskus event with real economic impact. #Sport #EconomicImpact #Weskus @WeskusTourism

Some golf at Kuilsrivier Golf Club. First visit since the course was flooded. Wow.... Course in tip top condition. @Kuilsriviergolf @fiekie7 @Leighton_K

A successful destination marketing strategy must transcend administrative boundaries and adopt a regional perspective, recognising that travellers engage with destinations as integrated experiences rather than defined municipal areas.

Johan Robertson van JR Motors het my geleer: "Werk só goed dat mense jou nie kan ignoreer nie — al wil hulle" Bring maar jou kar.. Al is dit nadat jy by die man was wat hom verder gebreek het.

Dal Josafat dae.. As die pawiljoen nie begin sing het ‘Hier kom ’n ding, hier kom ’n ding!’ wanneer jy jou spikes aantrek nie… dan moet jy maar alles los. Los, los, los!

Ignore the warning signs long enough and the pet you nurtured becomes the beast that threatens your survival.

A good example of Integrity is when your apology is just as loud as your critique.

Well done....

Excel so hard they’re forced to pretend they always believed in you... 😄😄😄

Leadership isn’t always positional — it’s often the person who shows up consistently, speaks with courage, and builds trust over time.

I didn’t expect much. In a world this turbulent, you learn not to. Then a leader reminded me what leadership actually looks like. It’s not about applause. It’s about correcting a system that’s failing the very people it’s meant to serve.

Tip for the Media: Some journalism basics never go out of style: Be accurate Act independent,even if you’re not Credit the author if it’s not your image Don’t use Facebook posts verbatim—they weren’t written for print. #SALGA #NCF9 #InspiringServiceDelivery @LifeWithThami

PR: ‘Look at all the good we’re doing!’ News: ‘Here’s what actually happened…’ Gov communicators: Juggling both and somehow still smiling.... Keep smiling ladies and gents. #SALGA #NCF9 #InspiringServiceDelivery

What I’m learning at #NCF9: Government comms doesn’t lack talent. We have skilled, passionate pros ready to deliver. Give them the tools. Give them the budget. Give them the mandate. Then let them fly. ✈️ #SALGA #InspiringServiceDelivery @LifeWithThami

The latest disaster management jargon? JOC – Joint Operations Centre. How often are Communications Champions left out? In a crisis, you can’t communicate from the corridor. Effective crisis comms means being in the room — constantly. #SALGA #NCF9 #InspiringServiceDelivery

Crisis communication in local government isn’t spin — it’s trust under pressure. Regardless of which sphere holds the mandate, when disaster strikes, the municipality becomes the primary source of truth for residents. #SALGA #NCF9 #InspiringServiceDelivery @LifeWithThami

@StellMun @SALGA_Gov Great Work Stellies...

We’re incredibly proud to share that we've been shortlisted for 2 national communications awards by @SALGA_Gov. 🎖️ Best Social Media 🎖️ Most Innovative Communications Team We are humbled by this recognition. Congratulations to all nominees.

Elephant in the room: Digital media looks free, but municipal Comms aren’t. Cut the budget, and “public engagement” is just a phrase. Why should Comms be first to suffer a budget cut? Cost containment or short-sighted? #SALGA #NCF9 #InspiringServiceDelivery

Government reports are 87 pages long. Your audience has 8 seconds... Some have 10. Visual communication is Key!! Not everyone has time for Chapter 4, Annexure B and IDP. #SALGA #NCF9 #InspiringServiceDelivery
