When the voters deliver a verdict that requires parties to work together to form a government they must do so with the best interests of the country at heart, and put aside personal feelings. Principles, policies and governance issues are what matter.

Cannot emphasize enough just how much South African politics changed this week. The more detail you get into and the more you think about it, the clearer the scale of the shift becomes. A much more complex politics emerges. More dynamic. More democratic.

Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.
Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000).
A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.
At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at dollyparton.com
In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at imaginationlibrary.com

Harry & Megan should have taken a leaf out of Anne, Princess Royal's book six years ago; but they have dug a hole SO deep that they will have enormous difficulty getting out of it without help from the Royal family. Is their return to the UK a case of regret or merely debt #Harry

Harry’s arrival in America in 2020 was met with considerable curiosity and some excitement, which he has since squandered.
