My piece on AGOA. There is a big difference between concentrated sectoral damage and an economy-wide disaster, and this should be articulated clearly. dailymaverick.co.za/opinioni…
We love you, Sherwin. #GoBokke @sherwiebp
Game Day weather conditions for Baltimore:
Will be warm, humid and unsettled today, with a high of about 28°C. It will be mostly cloudy, with the possibility of scattered showers or thunderstorms developing from late morning and becoming more likely later in the day. (Game is at 5pmEST/11pmCAT).
Winds should remain fairly light, but any thunderstorm could produce a brief heavier downpour.

Welekazi?! @African_Spring ? What did you do? What did you do? Not you. Not you. I love you so much. I don't understand what I've just read here. Words feel so inadequate. I'm heartbroken, beloved stranger whom I'd never met. But we met...we met...in words, admiration, laughter, love and solidarity. We met in ways more powerful than the physical. And I loved and admired you. I'm comforted that I atleast told you so, multiple times.
I can't think of anything that makes your death fair. I'm so twisted inside and I wish you were still here to share your insights, wit, sharp tongue and love for South Africa, with us.
You called yourself African Spring - a name filled with youth, hope and the promise of renewal. How unbearably cruel that your own spring should have been so brief. You should have had so many more seasons.
We are poorer without you. Go gently African Spring.

The Madlanga Commission has highlighted the brilliance of a number of young advocates.
Advocate Lee Segeels-Ncube’s questioning of Fadiel Adams is exceptional. 🔥🔥🔥

We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.
ALT A full disk image of Earth, as seen from the Orion capsule. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. From about 8 to 9 o'clock, a large brown landmass is Africa, with the Iberian peninsula twinkling with lights just where the planet curves. At the 1 o'clock spot, aurora glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space. Credit: NASA/Reid Weisman

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s tragedy has reopened a national debate over trust, negligence and the collapse of confidence in Nigeria’s hospitals.
A rare find. Nechama Brodie’s Cape Town and Joburg books are on auction.

For Renee Nicole Good
Killed by I.C.E. on January 7, 2026
by Amanda Gorman
They say she is no more,
That there her absence roars,
Blood-blown like a rose.
Iced wheels flinched & froze.
Now, bare riot of candles,
Dark fury of flowers,
Pure howling of hymns.
If for us she arose,
Somewhere, in the pitched deep of our grief,
Crouches our power,
The howl where we begin,
Straining upon the edge of the crooked crater
Of the worst of what we’ve been.
Change is only possible,
& all the greater,
When the labour
& bitter anger of our neighbors
Is moved by the love
& better angels of our nature.
What they call death & void,
We know is breath & voice;
In the end, gorgeously,
Endures our enormity.
You could believe departed to be the dawn
When the blank night has so long stood.
But our bright-fled angels will never be fully gone,
When they forever are so fiercely Good.

You can take this MAGA hatred & fear for Muslim nonsense you are trying to import into SA public discourse & shove it down your little gullet. SA has & always will be supportive & tolerant of all religions. You will NOT succeed in fanning the flames of hate against the Muslim community while hiding behind the plausible deniability & condescending “the rest of you are SO well spoken” BS of “SaLt of ThE eArTH PeOple.”
The @SAHRCommission ought to investigate the blatant Islamophobia you have been spreading.
You have gotten away with too much. Racist insulting black people by insinuating them brainless and convinced with fried chicken & now your target is the Muslim community? Enough is enough.

World Children’s Day… while the children of Palestine are under fire!3
For more than two years of war, 19,000 children have been martyred, and around 28,000 injured, including school students. Hundreds of schools and kindergartens have been completely or partially destroyed.
While the world celebrates children’s rights, the occupation continues its daily violations against them in Gaza, the West Bank, and Jerusalem.
Palestinian children deserve protection, education, and dignity… not death, displacement, and starvation.
From Bernie’s courage to Zohran’s conviction, this is proof that movements don’t fade, they grow. Thank you, Bernie, for paving the way. I can’t wait to see government working for the people of one of my favourite cities in the world.
Protecting those most at risk: South Africa now has the mpox vaccine available in districts with the highest prevalence.
