From the Bahamas to the top of the world. 🇧🇸 ➡️ 🇿🇦🥊 In 2017, a young, hungry Siyakholwa Kuse stood on the podium at the Youth Commonwealth Games in the Bahamas. He was just a kid proudly wearing the green and gold, introducing himself to the world and getting a taste of what international competition felt like. Back then, it was the start of a vision. What followed was nearly a decade of absolute sacrifice. No shortcuts. Just relentless discipline, grueling gym sessions, heartbreak, and the unwavering determination to prove he belonged at the absolute pinnacle of the sport. Every single fight and every tough lesson was just preparation for something bigger. Nine years later, the destination has been reached. On May 16, 2026, the journey came full circle on home soil at Emperors Palace. Siyakholwa "One Way" Kuse put on a masterclass performance to defeat Melvin Jerusalem and capture the WBC World Mini-flyweight Championship. He didn't just win a belt, he made history as only the fourth South African WBC champion ever and the first to win it at home in over two decades. From a youth medal in the Bahamas to the iconic green and gold WBC World Title belt in South Africa—the dream is officially reality.👑🇿🇦 #TeamSA #ForMyCountry

Ntlabakanye being banned for what he declared on his form remind me of one time when I was young , and i got a hiding for going to play with my friends at the quarry. my father said it was fine to go , but when i got home and told my mother where I was she gave me a hiding with the wooden spoon and I could not see my friends for a week. I am not saying it was a good idea to go play at the quarry, but let me tell you I was not happy with my father : /

21 year old Aldrich Potgieter has made history at every stage of his career, becoming the second youngest Amateur Champion, youngest Korn Ferry Tour winner, youngest player to ever shoot 59 on a professional tour, and the youngest winner from South Africa ever on the PGA Tour. Today, he just shot his first ever round in the 60s at a major with a 3 under par 67 to currently hold a share of the lead on his PGA Championship debut. He said after the round: “I think it helped this morning being out so early. There wasn't a lot of people out there this morning on the first couple of holes. So it was nice to kind of get in my own little space and kind of get a groove in early on. It's nice being in America playing here over the last two years and kind of coming to these big events, playing more Signature Events as well. I definitely feel this week I'm more comfortable. “I had some really nice finishes in the last couple weeks, kind of momentum moving in. So that's also nice.” He went on to talk about how it feels to shoot his lowest round in a major: “Yeah, it's nice to be on the leaderboard early on in the week. I think the last couple of weeks I didn't have that first round where I got myself close enough to the leaders, and kind of felt like I had to catch up a little bit. So it's nice to be in this position now and getting in before hopefully the wind picks up a little bit for this afternoon. It's nice to get out early and get the first day done.” If Aldrich were to win this week, he would be the youngest winner of the PGA Championship since it became a strokeplay event. @PGAChampionship

This video is less than two minutes long and I implore everyone to watch it. It is indeed rather extraordinary. As Holocaust Awareness Ireland says, Patrick Kielty exhibits utter callousness with respect to the attacks on the Jewish community, astonishingly saying ‘the backdrop of that is obviously the horrors in Gaza, this is a complex thing.’ Boy George remains calm and says ‘if you don’t know any Jewish people maybe that’s the problem.’ He then asks the audience ‘do you know any Jewish people?’ Boy George is visibly taken aback by the ensuing silence, and vocalises his shock twice, remarking that it is ‘weird’ and ‘surprising me a little bit.’ Patrick looks uncomfortable and ends puts an end to the topic with a dismissive ‘mmm’. Extraordinary viewing. Just extraordinary.
Quite an extraordinary interview on @RTELateLateShow last night. @BoyGeorge lived in Golders Green and speaks about his life long relationship Jewish people, explaining how his support for Jews has resulted in him receiving much abuse. Two defining moments come when he asked the audience if they know any Jewish people and is met by stone cold silence. The silence represents a combination of fear that admitting such relationships publicly might cause difficulty and the reality that most Irish people don't know any Jews. As he said himself, the silence is deafening. The second incredulous aspect of the interview is @PatricKielty's singular lack of empathy when speaking about Jews. Here is a public figure who has been rightly applauded for his brave public confrontation with the tragic sectarian murder of his father and the manner in which he has engaged with the loyalist community in the North. How is it that a man capable of extraordinary courage is blind to the persecution of another minority in the city of London where he calls home? Has he been corrupted by the RTE hive mind where the narrative around the issue of Israel and Jews is disturbingly unbalanced? So disappointed. Segment begins at 10.30.

Harsh truth.

Let me show you how this works: It’s Friday morning. You’re in America. Coffee in hand. Half-awake. Scrolling. A headline hits you: “America/Israel bombs residential building, 20 civilians killed, including 5 children.” (These numbers are imaginary) Your stomach drops. You glance at your kid. Or think about your nieces and nephews. Now you’re not just reading anymore, you’re feeling anger, rage, disgust. By the time you get to work, the story has already settled in your mind as truth. At lunch, you bring it up. Your coworkers nod. Of course they do. Why wouldn’t they? It sounds real. Now five more people carry that same anger. They go home. They repeat it. To friends. To family. Online. Just like that, one headline becomes thousands of convictions. But here is what never made it into that headline what you did not see, what no one bothered to check: It wasn’t America. It wasn’t Israel. It was a failed missile fired by the IRGC that fell on its own people. And by the time the truth shows up, if it ever does, the damage is already done. This is what an information war looks like in real time.
