That Arena Holdings special where you get all their publications (TimesLive, Dispatch, Sowetan, BusinessLive etc) for R69 per month is a good deal.

Banyana baka! Hilton Weiner and Urban are back in Edgar’s! I can assure you it’s that same quality! The suit jacket I have at home is exactly what I saw yesterday, also good prices, run, don’t walk

Hi POWER 98.7 Please don't allow conspiracy theories to go untested. What evidence does Mpho have for the claim that 'they' whoever they are are plotting to keep the ballot short?

It's mischievous & bad for an election to have that untested.

I'm glad they are going to court.

I'm so sick of this crap. The history of Iran is far more complex than a photo of a woman 'showing her legs'. (I'm Iranian, I lived there until late '78, I went back often after the war, once staying for almost a yr, I wrote MSc dissertation on causes of the revolution & outcome)

Joel Cauchi (40) went on a violent rampage in Sydney.
Misinformation that he was an “Islamist terrorist” on a vengeance spread like wildfire.
Now, since he’s neither, mental illness takes centre stage - that’d have been ignored had he actually been Muslim.
Had he been ‘avenging’.

Israeli journalist Ronen Bergman has a remarkable quote from a source with knowledge of Israeli discussions on Iran: 'If the talks were broadcast live on Youtube, you'd have 4 million people clamoring at Ben Gurion airport trying to get out of here.' ynet.co.il/news/article/b…

One of my daughter teammates pointed out that millennials always clap before they start dancing and now I can’t unsee it lmao

A hill I will die on is the architecture of the internet led people to believe that a lack of friction, is the goal of life. But you can’t be in community w/o friction. It actually takes out all the places where trust and camaraderie are built.

Retired judge and former IEC chairperson Johann Kriegler says there is no basis for suspicion on the IEC's appeal of the Electoral Court's decision to rule in favour of the MK Party. Kriegler says this is a perfect and predictable practice.

For DA or IFP to form coalition with ANC after poll, no matter how good intentions, may harm them, spark internal divisions, while prolonging ANC governing life. Partnering with ANC may cause decline of DA or IFP, like New National Party was decimated, after coalition with ANC.
