There are SO MANY interesting key election result nuggets coming through already! As always, Dawie is brilliant.
A bloodbath for Trump and Republicans overnight. Democrats OUTPERFORMED even their best polling. A Democrat Senator AND GOVERNOR in TEXAS?!
After previous talk of a Blue Wave that never came, it SMASHED into shore last night. #USElections #Midterms26
Damn. 🤔
“Potholes will be there because we live in the situation of a climate change there are rains water the the streets get washed out” ANC SG Fikile Mbalula
“We are not talking something that you know is falling from the sky we talking about what government is going to do to help” @MbalulaFikile
James Talarico is just so good at this thing called politics. The Texas senate race is the number one thing I have my eye on as the US votes for their midterms just one day before SA heads to the polls.

The courts and judges can’t be captured only when they make rulings you don’t like.
Less than 6 months ago, the ANC fought hard in the Phalaphala impeachment case and lost in the Concourt. Today they won on something else.
Why? Because courts are not beholden to the ANC.
I will be VERY surprised if they can even find 17 000 that actually want to leave and get on the plane 😂😂
The Trump administration is planning to welcome up to 17,500 additional White Afrikaners from South Africa as refugees over the next 12 months, according to a notice sent to Congress on Tuesday and obtained by CBS News.
The State Department informed congressional officials that the Trump administration is planning to allocate 17,500 refugee spots for fiscal year 2027, and that they will "primarily" go to Afrikaners, who President Trump has claimed are being oppressed for being White. cbsn.ws/4xCaFUc

The best player in the @PremierLeague.
ALT Bruno Fernandes smiles after scoring against Ipswich.
It’s great to bring this quote up now. But we were WORSE the next year. Much much worse. The idea has to be good and work….
Ruben Amorim said this when he first took over at Man United in 2024 👀:
🗣️ "We have two ways. Forget the new idea; try to cope with the way we used to do things, and next year we'll be here with the same problems.
Or we start now; we risk a little bit, we suffer a little bit, and in the next year we will be better."
There is truly only one GOAT of football transfer journalism. And it is David Ornstein.

[WATCH] Relebohile Mofokeng rejected a R1 million offer. And he made 'silly schoolboy' mistakes that nearly ended it all, but still he rose. @Yolulwe_Qoshe on the rise of Rele. #Newzroom405
Absolutely loving how July/ August and the rest of 2026 is an absolute knockout for going back to the actual cinema again.
“Spider-Man: Brand New Day” climbed to $360M in its domestic debut, surpassing the all-time opening weekend record of 2019’s “Avengers: Endgame” with $357M:
• The final tally for “Brand New Day” landed above Sunday’s estimate of $355M, which ranked as the second-largest debut of all time

Damn 😂😅
Got my 2027 Two Oceans Half Marathon entry thanks to early access with @Discovery_SA . It took over two hours of waiting in an online queue and there are now still 20 000 people waiting in that same queue. 😂 No idea how many more entries Discovery has but it was worth the wait.
