The struggle against apartheid was not only a struggle for political freedom.
It was a struggle to fundamentally change the meaning and purpose of the law.
It was a struggle to replace a system that denied human dignity with one that placed human dignity at the centre of our national life. xitter.gq/i/broadcasts/2vyOaNlYA…

How is it possible that Mama Joy received more funding from the government to attend events than Tatjana Smith, who is our most decorated Olympian, received for training for the Olympics?

"The will of the people"
Yeah, let's shit all over that...

One of these women is a multiple Olympic medal-winning athlete; the other is a "superfan".
One of these gets sponsored to travel the world, and all her expenses are paid by the government and agencies to sit on the sidelines and hope the camera shows her for a few seconds.
The other has to swim for another country now because her own country apparently doesn't have enough money for her elite training or to reward her for the achievements and pride she's brought this nation.
Make it make sense.

Recently, over 23,000 Chery vehicles, including the Chery Tiggo 4, Omoda C5, and Tiggo 8 Pro Max 2.0, have been recalled due to potential safety defects.
Glad I don't have one of those fancy cars...
If your reaction to this story is the same as this clown below, then you are part of the problem in South Africa, and part of the reason people feel the need to represent other countries to follow their dreams. Tatjana would rather be representing SA 100%.
This is not even a bombshell. This is just a splash in the water. This is just a lesson that people like Tatjana have second homes. If things are not working in their favour they show their true colors. Black people we must fight for this country harder than before it is our only home.

dailymaverick.co.za/article/… but let’s rather spend R82 million on a bankrupt golf tour, R31 million at FIFA World Cup and R20 million on non-existent VAR instead of putting the funds into SA sport, the athletes and grass roots development. The administration of SA sport is a tragic mess of systemic corruption from the Sports Ministry down to SASCOC and the majority of the federations. I used to think Fikile Mbalula was the most arrogant, corrupt and unethical
Sports Minister ever in SA but Gayton McKenzie is now right up there. Very sad for SA sport!

Olympic champion Tatjana Schoenmaker has announced she will swim for the Netherlands. What an indictment on our sports administrators for treating her so poorly. instagram.com/reel/DfkSLN5I7…

Few places in the world mean as much to me as Blair Atholl. This was our family home, where my love of golf, horses and the South African countryside came together. Designing a course on land filled with those memories was an extraordinary privilege.
The Crocodile River gives the course so much of its character, while the expansive greens and carefully positioned bunkers demand thoughtful decisions. A great design should encourage you to use your imagination, consider your approach and discover something new each time you play.
It brings me tremendous pride to see others making their own memories on this special piece of South Africa. Enjoy the golf, appreciate the natural beauty, and remember how fortunate we are to play this wonderful game.
