Breaking | Two Turkish armed military drones have joined the escort of the Global Sumud Flotilla.
Watch | A Turkish warship came to the aid of a Global Sumud Flotilla vessel en route to Gaza after it suffered a breakdown. “Adagio, this is the Turkish warship. Do you copy?” the warship radioed. A veteran sailor on board remarked: “In 50 years at sea, I’ve never seen a warship respond to a civilian distress call like this.”

🚧UNDER CONSTRUCTION: The demand for luxury brands in Cape Town is so high that the Louis Vuitton store at the V&A Waterfront is going to double in size😮🛍️💎💸 A dedicated wing measuring 5 000m2 is being built for luxury brands to be housed in the same area. The project is valued at R207 million. The new wing will open closer to the end of this year in a phased approach, with more store openings from early 2026. Stores like Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and Dolce & Gabbana will receive stores that are double their current size. Other luxury brands joining this new extension are MaXhosa Africa, Burberry Group and Versace by Capri Holdings. I am such a fan of the MaXhosa Africa brand. It has been a pleasure watching this brand's success in the luxury market and seeing it stand alongside such prominent international names. Kudos to you, Laduma. South Africa is the wealthiest nation on the African continent, so it's easy to see where individuals are spending the most money on designer products. Take a look at the renders of the new wing below.

What in the unHoly fuck?? I was today years old when I realize this brand aQuelle is run by a faux-Christian cult. While I love their sparkling water, after reading these court docs I'd rather drink warm pig piss than support them again. The fucking child r@pe??!!! Omg 💔
Court papers filed last week give a succinct summary of our allegations against KwaSizabantu, the owners of aQuellé and Emseni farming. For those saying it happened a long time ago, the SAME people are still in charge, minus the few who have died… Read this and weep 1/2

LOYISO BALA WROTE👇 At 36, I faced a harsh reality. If I didn’t make a change, I’d soon be in my 40s, struggling to book gigs, watching opportunities fade. I had spent years building a name in the industry, but deep down, I knew relying solely on music might not sustain me in the long run. I wasn’t willing to take that risk. I could already see where things were headed. Despite a successful career, I would likely spend my days blaming the system for why musicians struggle financially. Not because the argument wasn’t valid, but because my career would have quietly slipped away, leaving me with nothing but frustration and “back in my day” stories. The problem? No degree. No corporate experience. Just music. But instead of accepting that fate, I took a leap. I walked into HenleyAfrica, hoping to start from scratch. A friend suggested I apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), which allowed my experience to count towards a Postgraduate Diploma in Business (PGDip). That application was terrifying. Getting accepted was even scarier. I sat in my first class, completely out of my depth, Googling terms like “HR” and “balance sheets” because I was too embarrassed to ask. But I didn’t quit. I graduated. Then I went for what seemed impossible – an MBA. While studying, I volunteered at TBN Africa as a presenter and producer. Just before finishing my MBA, I was appointed as Channel Director. Three years later, I joined SABC, leading some of the biggest radio stations in the country. At 36, I had no idea if I could rebuild my life. Now at 45, I stand in a career I once thought was out of reach, and it feels like I’ve been doing this for decades. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this: it’s never too late to start over, to learn, to change paths, or to embrace new opportunities. Your past does not define your future. On the other side of fear is growth. Be bold. Step into the unknown. Do what feels uncomfortable. And when you’ve done all you can, trust that God will take care of the rest.

LEARN SOMETHING NEW: For those who want to know what the difference between P-grade, A-grade, B-grade, and C-grade property space is - keep reading this tweet☝️ In South Africa, commercial properties are categorized into different grades based on several factors like their location, how old they are, their state, what facilities they offer, and how much rent they charge. Here's how they're broken down: P-Grade (Prime Grade) ▪️ These are the cream of the crop in commercial spaces, boasting the latest in building technology, lots of parking, and fancy lobby areas. They're in the best spots with great views or surroundings. ▪️ Rent is at the top end because of their superior quality and location. ▪️ Think of modern office towers in the heart of CBD’s or fancy office parks. A-Grade ▪️ These buildings are less than 15 years old or have been significantly updated. They come with high-quality modern fittings, air conditioning, and good parking. ▪️ While not as pricey as P-grade, they're still quite costly, offering almost top-notch office space. ▪️ They can include well-renovated buildings in good business areas. B-Grade ▪️ These are older buildings that have seen some modernization. They don't have the luxury of A or P grades but still provide basic comfort like air conditioning and might have parking. ▪️ Rent is more reasonable, making them a good middle ground for businesses looking for value without breaking the bank. ▪️ Often found in less central but still accessible locations. C-Grade ▪️ These are the oldest buildings, usually in need of a major facelift. They might not have modern amenities like air conditioning or on-site parking. ▪️ They offer the cheapest rent, suitable for startups or businesses on a tight budget. ▪️ Located further from prime areas, these spaces might be considered for future redevelopment or alternative uses. This grading system helps businesses decide where to set up shop based on what they need, what they can afford, and the kind of impression they want to make. Keep in mind, these grades can be a bit subjective and might differ slightly from one place to another or based on individual building features. Now you know #AskAsh😅
