As Peter Hain said, the ONE country that should be at the forefront of the #TakeTheKnee and #BlackLivesMatter movement, appears - incomprehensibly - to be ambivalent towards it. I honestly cannot find an explanation either. Mind boggling. #SAvSL

We all know who has been complaining about the Athaan in Cape Town. Coloured communities - which include people of all religious persuasions - have been living together for decades harmoniously. They've always been models of religious tolerance. So let's be clear on that.

One day we need to have a conversation about how the end of apartheid coincided with the fall of communism, which in turn opened up global markets like never before, leading to a culture of rampant crass commercialism & consumption in emerging markets. Often persued at any cost.

Alleged looter Arthur Mafokate seemingly used money he received from the National Lotteries Commission to purchase a swanky lodge; pay rent for his 999 Music company; buy laptops, printers, cameras & furniture; & purchase a vehicle that used to shuttle his ex-girlfriend, Chomee.

@mgigaba @KgaugeloSM @ForeverShakes Respectfully, minister, you are both a politician and a public servant. Perception matters. Which is why many of us were hoping you would use this time to dispel the negative perceptions/narrative..

There were millions of kids watching that, including my 6 year old nephew who's an F1 maniac. So happy that they all saw Lewis react the way he did. In sport - as in life - you're not going to get all the calls.

One thing that also stands out for me in this Nando's/Cliff debacle is that we don't need political parties to be our proxies on issues of common humanity and principle. This was a largely apolitical, organic public backlash/campaign against bigotry.

I've just seen this headline (long day) and I understand the justified reaction now. ANY association with these right wing, racist groups should be condemned outright. It's shockingly poor judgement from the DA to associate themselves IN ANY WAY whatsoever with them. Period.

It's a bit embarassing that Marco Jansen - the youngest and least experienced member of this Protea team - has to show the rest what application and fortitude is about.

That 'apology' reads EXACTLY how white South Africa 'apologised' for apartheid. Like, verbatim. Read it again and tell me I'm wrong.

Simple, clear, fun public messaging...with a special appeal to kids. It really doesn't need to be complicated. Well done once again Cape Town (and all those behind the campaign).

'When we go to a different country, we respect their laws, we respect their culture'. Think for a moment if the rest of the world had taken this approach to apartheid South Africa re sanctions and the sports boycott.
