No truer words have been spoken. The best or nothing ๐
The German car brands are like a family reunion where everyone shows up with a different personality, the same engineering DNA, and wildly different ideas about what "driving" should feel like. Mercedes-Benz comes in like the wealthy uncle who insists on flying first class even

Born, baptized, confirmed, raised in Anglican too, yes ma'am.
I was born and raised Anglican. Growing up: no trousers for ladies, cover your hair, menโno caps in church. Now: women wear whatever they like, men wear caps, church looks more like a party than a place of worship. Modesty in the house of God shouldnโt be optional. Just

A just #energy transition lift ups๐บwomen & marginalised groups, creating equal opportunities for all, especially those who have been left out of the conversation & the action. How can we ensure equity & inclusion in the transition? Share your experiences & lessons learned:

๐ I can relate!
Having a naturally intimidating aura is so exhausting. People will go to the wildest extremes to humble me or compete with me. Meanwhile, I'm literally just trying to exist.

Africa rejoice, praise and celebrate. Sing a song of joy. Mpho and and Mphoyana, God bless the twins......I still tear up to this day. This was a win for Africa.
Mpho and Mphonyana Mathibela made history when they were born conjoined at Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital on December 7, 1986. The twin girls were joined at the head, and after careful consideration, a decision was made to surgically separate them. The successful separation
