I bet it would be hilarious if we knew what they shoplifted

A 31-year-old from Soweto just built a wheelchair that can move up, down, and climb stairs. His name? Ernest Majenge. Remember it. Because this is how the world changes. 🌍

NASA’s Artemis II mission is a truly global endeavor, and South Africa is proudly part of the story. Through the South African National Space Agency (@SANSA7) the Hartebeesthoek Ground Station (HartRAO) is playing a vital role in deep space tracking and communications. As part of NASA’s worldwide ground station network supporting the Orion spacecraft, SANSA’s team provides essential tracking, telemetry, and ranging data. This helps keep the mission connected, the spacecraft healthy, and the crew safely on course during this historic journey. South Africa’s contributions to space exploration have deep roots too. Upington Airport (FAUP) in the Northern Cape boasts one of the longest civilian runways in the world - Runway 17/35 stretches an impressive 4,900 meters (16,076 feet). With its clear desert skies, minimal obstacles, and strategic location, the airport has long been celebrated locally as a strong potential emergency landing site for large aircraft, including hypothetical Space Shuttle scenarios. While it was never formally designated as a NASA Transoceanic Abort Landing (TAL) site, its exceptional capabilities have made it a memorable part of South Africa’s space heritage narrative. Back in 2015, I had the privilege of taking my Aerospace Leadership Academy cadets to visit SANSA’s Space Operations at Hartebeesthoek. It was a chilly day, but the experience left a lasting impression; a powerful reminder of the talent, infrastructure, and ambition already thriving in Africa’s space ecosystem. Seeing those same facilities actively supporting today’s Artemis missions, while reflecting on Upington’s impressive runway standing ready in the desert, feels incredibly meaningful. Moments like these remind us why we invest in the next generation of aerospace leaders: because today’s students will become tomorrow’s mission enablers, innovators, and ground station operators. Here’s to SANSA, to South Africa’s growing, and historic role in space exploration, and to turning inspiration into real impact. #ArtemisII #SpaceExploration #SANSA #Aerospace #SouthAfrica #STEMEducation #SpaceHistory @USEmbassySA @USAmbRSA

Let me share my frustrations: can't get @OfficialSASSA grant cos they don't care about us oldies. Struggling for almost a year. Bank acc at zero which means I need a paid job like in next week or so. Any suggestions @CapeTown @flexworkworks plse RT thanks 😘

This is MMA fighter Sean McInnes. When Anne Marie Boyle asked him to leave her alone, he punched her in the face so hard that he broke her cheekbone and her eye socket, knocked her unconscious, and left her with a life-altering brain injury. He was given less than two years behind bars. It would be a real shame if this post was widely circulated and impacted his career in a negative way.
