This strain is bad. My mom is in ICU right now fighting for her life, nightmare 2020 flashbacks. No vaccines available in SA. Please take care, mask up, treat every "weird cold" seriously. You might be fine but the next elderly immunocompromised person you breathe on won't be.

Unhinged is definitely the word. The heritage treasures aside, the inclusion of his hearing aids broke my heart a little - such a intimate and personal thing, it feels completely ghoulish. For a "memorial garden" nogal - ???

South African humour is something else hey? Even in our moments of deepest rage and grief. The ancestral paper-shuffling jokes, I can't 😂
South Africa being the one to take this to court and us laughing through the rage is so fitting

South Africa so deeply breaks our hearts a lot of the time - it's wonderful to be reminded of who we really are and what we have to offer the world. In awe of this talented legal team. Truth to power! 🍉🍉🍉

They never show you this map on the news. That's because it provides the crucial context necessary to anyone wanting to understand the Israel/Palestine situation.

What! The Muricans also know about the Gat In Die Emmer song??? This is like when I learnt that all my childhood Afrikaans TV shows were actually dubbed and Alf had an American accent.
