Perhaps less appropriate for a gymnast ; ) it is the spirit that it speaks to and which warrants a salute to Simone Biles Congratulations on overcoming the challenges to win an Olympic medal: Quoting Zig Ziglar: “It's not how far you fall, but how high you bounce that counts”

People spend the most in December & in January they are broke. So please make sure you pay your children’s outstanding school fees so that you are not faced with debt in January 2022. Forget the long nails, using your money for school/varsity fees is more important.

Love this. 🧡

Sad to wake up to the news of Barry Ronge's passing. I admired his work greatly, slavish following his movie recommendations and consulting the reviews to decide what to watch RIP #BarryRonge

Huge news! Germany gets back together with Elsevier! hrk.de/presse/pressem…

Look at this poor Emfuleni Library and municipal grounds. Decay is visceral; the absence of care glaring. As the president gave his end of term briefing last night, my thoughts kept turning to these - some of many from my election reporting. State destruction everywhere, hey.

Expecting President at this stage to stop the Bill is irresponsible. It was passed by Parliament & has been on his desk for nearly 7 months. He must uphold the Constitution & act in terms of S.79. Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 The Presidency 🇿🇦 CCSA Gayton McKenzie Parks Tau #SignTheBill
