Most founders don’t actually know how their business flows financially.
So I built a 3-Statement Financial Model to show it.

We have been trying to load a container for the last week, and the port is basically closed due to the wind. Now the ship has omitted CT.

Have we spoken about how hectic the wind has been lately in and around Cape Town?

Great opportunity for Zim. Hoping that market access from South Africa follows their lead.

It is pleasing to see that Zimbabwe will now export blueberries to China for the first time. The diversification from tobacco is key. We have seen Zimbabwean blueberries in some of our retailers here in South Africa, and they are of reasonably good quality. We need more improvement in Southern Africa’s agriculture.

Hey, fellow AI nerds: if you'd like to try Perplexity's new Comet web browser, I have three invites, which I'm happy to give to the first three AI-nerd respondents. I love the Comet browser and have made it my default. It reinvents web-surfing for the AI era.

100 off 35 balls. Only 14 years old, Vaibhav Suryavanshi is an incredible talent.
Sachin Tendulkar@sachin_rt
Vaibhav’s fearless approach, bat speed, picking the length early, and transferring the energy behind the ball was the recipe behind a fabulous innings. End result: 101 runs off 38 balls. Well played!!

Big negative surprise as South Africa's GDP falls -0.3% quarter on quarter. It was expected to grow by +0.4%.
Year on year, the economy grew by a slow +0.3% vs an expected +1.1%.
Not good enough!

@Leon_Schreib Head's up, I tried to book an appointment online for DHA Paarl and Stellenbosch branches, to switch to a smart ID card, and there are no slots available. cc @HomeAffairsSA

Research suggests that SA’s green ID book is the most defrauded in Africa, with identity theft costing our country north of R1.5 billion per year. If you want to fight fraud and corruption while protecting your family, switch to a smart ID card before criminals steal your life.

It's been 25 years since the most famous dropped catch of all time. Yes, you probably know it already. It is Herschelle Gibbs dropping Steve Waugh in their last Super Six encounter. But there's way more to the story than just that. Let's recap.
