Donald Trump admits to posting the “Christ-like” image of himself… but says he was portraying himself as a Doctor! And the “fake news media” is to blame for the Jesus narrative.

And it was Covid and the community could not attend the funeral . The murdered couple were well liked by residents and all races took part in the memorial according to their son . Who when I spoke to him was upset that his parent’s murder was being used as a political tool .

You're lying @elonmusk. These crosses were placed temporarily in 2020 as a symbolic protest following the murder of a farming couple, but they do NOT represent ‘one cross for every murdered white farmer’. They are simply a short-lived memorial to draw attention to criminal attacks that take place in rural areas including on farms affecting everyone (most victims are black). The last official crime stats say 6 murders were recorded in farming communities. 5 of the victims are black (2 farm owners, 2 employees & 1 farm manager). The 1 white victims was a farm dweller. 🇿🇦 law enforcement agencies are treating this category of crime as a priority and as stats are showing, numbers have significantly come down which means we are winning the battle.

Just in case you’re wondering why Starlink is not allowed a license in SA. Spoiler alert it’s not what Musk wants you to believe

@premierleague This was an epic weekend of PL football. Shocks at top and bottom. Will we look back at the end of the season and say this was the game changer weekend?

Rhodium is now the world’s most expensive mineral (chemical element/metal) beating gold and platinum. And the twist! South Africa 🇿🇦 produces nearly 80% of it globally. This rare metal is mainly used in catalytic converters to reduce car emissions, which is why demand keeps rising while supply stays limited. Prices have reached around $ 10,000 per ounce, making it one of the most valuable resources on the planet. Strong, corrosion-resistant, and highly reflective! Rhodium is not just rare, it’s essential for cleaner technology.

The longest road tunnel in Africa is just outside Paarl, South Africa, and it’s getting a R4 billion upgrade🚇 Over 100 million vehicles have passed through the 3.9km Huguenot Tunnel since it opened in 1988. The current daily average of vehicles passing through the tunnel is 13,000, saving them up to 26 minutes compared to the Du Toitskloof Pass. This has also saved an estimated 5.5 million barrels of fuel to date. When engineers first drilled the mountain in the 1980s, they actually made two tunnels. However, they only finished the inside of one (the South Bore). The second one (the North Bore) has been sitting empty and unused for 40 years. Right now, the Huguenot Tunnel is like a narrow two-way street squeezed into a single tube. Cars going in opposite directions have to share the same space. This upgrade is all about opening the second tunnel to create 4 traffic lanes. Once finished, the tunnels won't be two-way anymore. One tunnel will have two lanes in one direction, and the other will have two lanes in the opposite direction. Another interesting element is the potential HQ for a "First for Africa" Lab. Stellenbosch University is eyeing the site for the Paarl Africa Underground Laboratory (Paul). If it goes ahead, we’re looking at Africa's first-ever subterranean nuclear physics lab hidden within our infrastructure. What are your thoughts on a high-tech physics lab next to a major highway tunnel? I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

South Africa🇿🇦 generated $550 million from defence exports in 2025, selling weapons, ammunition, and military equipment to 42 countries, including France🇫🇷, Turkey🇹🇷, and the UAE🇦🇪. The largest export share went to Europe, with munitions making up the bulk of the transactions—Germany🇩🇪 was the top buyer, ordering around $180 million worth of shells. Armoured vehicles and aircraft were exported widely within Africa, with Kenya🇰🇪, Ghana🇬🇭, and Malawi🇲🇼 among the major vehicle buyers, while aircraft were sold to Iraq🇮🇶, DRC🇨🇩, Mozambique🇲🇿, and the UAE🇦🇪. South Africa is nearly unique in Africa as a significant arms exporter, while most other African countries remain major importers of weaponry, mainly from Europe🇪🇺, China🇨🇳, Russia🇷🇺, and the United States🇺🇸.
