So we ended up on a stayover with the Boks in London 🇬🇧. It’s like a strange dream. Lovely guys, shared biltong with my girls at a 1am check in. Then, I got lost in a stairwell with Edwill van der Merwe. Accidentally opened another team member’s hotel room door… 🤦🏽‍♀️😴

Remember when we couldn’t go anywhere? So grateful now, to be able to go *just about* everywhere. Time to visit my grandmother. @kulula

This song is a vibe! (As a South African of Indian descent I speak more Afrikaans than Telugu, yet incredibly proud of this #southasianexcellence because it also highlights a shared history on a global stage!)

Been waiting AGES to reshare @shailjapatel 's wisdom loudly. "Read women. Cite women. Credit women. Teach women. Publish women. Present women. Acknowledge women. Award women. Amplify women. Hire women... Pay women. Pay women. Pay women." 🙏🏽 @LukanyoMnyanda for the beautiful space

'"Women in Solitary" is a true South African story of four women — Joyce Sikhakhane-Rankin, Rita Ndzanga, Shanthie Naidoo, Nondwe Mankahla — who refused to testify in the apartheid-era “Trial of 22”, which included Winnie Madikizela-Mandela." ~ @ShantzN
