Rugby is a game for all shapes and sizes. Depower the scrum anymore and you may as well watch a rugby league match. It will destroy the community game if there is no place for your good old fashioned type of prop. Keep meddling with the game and you will destroy it.

I extend my deepest condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of the late Comrade Tito Mboweni. His passing is a profound loss for South Africa, as he was a dedicated public servant who played a crucial role in shaping the countryโ€™s economic policies. As the former Minister of Finance and the first black Governor of the South African Reserve Bank, Mboweniโ€™s leadership, intellect, and unwavering commitment to the nation left an indelible mark on our country. His contributions to South Africaโ€™s growth and stability will be remembered with gratitude. May his soul rest in peace, and may his loved ones find strength during this difficult time. #RIPTitoMboweni

UNBREAKABLE BOND BETWEEN SOUTH AFRICA ๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ฆ and BOTSWANA ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ผ During the Paris 2024 Olympics, South Africans have taken to Twitter to celebrate and embrace Botswana athletes as their own with Hashtags like #NoDNA just BORSA. Others have suggested the two teams be received as one at OR Tambo International Airport before Team Botswana heads home. The two countries share a border and an unbreakable blood, culture, and language, with South Africa home to 10 Million Tswana People. The Olympics also brought many Africans together with Kenyans ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ช, South Africans ๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ฆ and Batswana ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ผ cheering for each other.

Around age 23, the average person falls off what researchers call the "humor cliff"; we begin to smile and laugh less and less. The average 4-year-old laughs 300 times a day. The average 40-year-old, only 4 times a day.

Omicron is not a 'South African variant', it's a variant that was spotted & reported by brilliant South African scientists so fast the world has a chance to get on top of it. Could have originated anywhere.
