I find the Tatjana swimming situation quite sad but we have to acknowledge that multiple sports people have been doing this for decades- cricket, netball, rugby, football and so the list goes on and on. Sometimes the motivation is different but the “brain drain” is unmatched!

Such a special parade this morning. An opportunity our @KingEdVIISchool Grade 11 boys to perform the full colour parade and honour the sons of this place.

Sometimes you just need to alter your view to gain a better perspective of how blessed you are!

This is the guy who shot the employee of Emfuleni. Maybe someone might know him, lets help the police to find him. Justice must be served!!!

Well at least we did not choke. We got throttled! Funny old game this cricket. But in all honesty T 20 s a lottery and we simply did not get the correct ticket.

It’s incredible to think that 38 years ago, today, I said I do and committed to a life with this fantastic and caring lady. 3 beautiful kids later and having lived in 4 different provinces we continue to enjoy each day as it comes. Love you to the moon and back Nina!

11November is synonymous with Remembrance Day and acknowledging the fallen, who so bravely gave their lives for country. While I in know way advocate for war I find it a time of reflection and gratitude. I am grateful for all those who taught bravely for the liberation of SA.

So @GriquasRugby beat the URC @LionsRugbyCo in the Currie Cup Final. Perhaps the lions would have been better served playing the Currie Cup team from earlier in the season?

This weekend will see these two beautiful souls getting married. Janine and I are so thrilled for them. It signals the first of our three children to do so with the second in December this year. #forever #Soulmates

Today marked a year since we lost one of our favourite sons @KingEdVIISchool. It has been an extremely tough journey but Matthew lives within our school, as the motivation behind our ME campaign- a focus on personal mental health and destigmatising the concept of asking for help.
