You’ve seen #ThePolygamist and saw how Jonasi went out… just know, that is not just TV drama, it is real life consequences. Multiple partners without protection increase your risk of STIs and HIV. Ignoring treatment does not make it go away, it makes it worse. Knowing your status is power. Using protection is responsibility. Taking your treatment is survival. If you stopped treatment, come back, reinitiate and stay on it to achieve an undetectable viral load. This means living a healthier life with zero risk of passing HIV on to others. Remember, prevention options such as PrEP and Lenacapavir can help protect against HIV, but condoms are still essential to protect against STIs like gonorrhoea, syphilis, herpes, chlamydia and more, as well as unwanted pregnancies.

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

Two of this farmer's workers had already died from his beatings. The missionary holding the camera knew that. He'd reported the farmer to the police, and he was photographing these wounds for court. Ludwig Cramer was a failed coffee merchant from Hamburg. He moved to German South West Africa in 1906 and bought a farm. He tied workers up for days, whipped a pregnant Herero woman until she miscarried, and beat workers bloody. His wife Ada helped by cutting the clothes off female victims so he could strike harder. Two of his workers died. In August 1912 a German colonial court sentenced him to 20 months in prison. On appeal the next year, the sentence was cut to 4 months and a 2,700 Mark fine. It was one of the only times any German settler was punished for any of this. And the worst was already over. Between 1904 and 1908, German forces had killed an estimated 65,000 to 80,000 Herero, about 80% of the Herero population, and 10,000 Nama, around half of theirs. Historians now call it the first genocide of the 20th century. It started when Chief Samuel Maharero led a rebellion against the seizure of Herero land. General Lothar von Trotha's October 1904 extermination order declared every Herero in the territory was to be killed. Survivors were driven into the desert to die of thirst, or shipped to concentration camps. Shark Island killed between half and three-quarters of its prisoners. Women there were forced to boil the heads of dead inmates and scrape them clean with shards of glass. The skulls were sent to German universities, where researchers tried to prove white Europeans were biologically superior to Africans. One of those researchers was a scientist named Eugen Fischer. In 1923, while Hitler was in prison, he read Fischer's textbook on race hygiene. He cited Fischer in Mein Kampf. Fischer's work later helped shape the 1935 Nuremberg Laws, the Nazi race laws that stripped Jews of their rights. When Hitler took power, he made Fischer head of the University of Berlin. The institute Fischer ran trained the next generation of Nazi race scientists, including Josef Mengele's PhD supervisor. Mengele went to Auschwitz, where he experimented on prisoners and sent body parts back to the same institute. Germany formally apologized in 2021 and offered Namibia €1.1 billion (about $1.3 billion) over 30 years in development aid. But the agreement avoided the words "reparations" and "compensation". Those words could be used against Germany in future lawsuits. Most Herero and Nama leaders walked away from the deal because they were shut out of the talks. Many of the skulls are still sitting in German universities and museums. Cramer himself died in 1917 in a blasting accident on his farm. His wife Ada wrote a book defending him, arguing that Africans needed to be beaten for their own good. Historians now read it as an early blueprint for the "master race" thinking. That thinking would become Nazism.

9.98s!!🔥 Neo Mosebi (FSU) 🇿🇦 broke ground to a new Personal Best (PB) of 9.98s (1.9) to win the men's 100m title at the ACC Championships in Louisville! He beat Ian Johnson (Clemson) who ran 10.01 and Durian Moss (10.11). Mosebi is now the 11th South African to break 10 seconds over 100m.

You are deliberately twisting facts & spreading misinformation Sir. We expect leaders to set the tone that promotes unity, rule of law & cordial relations. The Chair of Bua was NOT denied a visa. He arrived with an expired visa. Every country including Nigeria is expected to apply the law without fear or favour.

As you may have known, the first 24 tons of South African apple under #ZeroTariffPolicy arrived in Shenzhen on 1 May. I was able to buy some of them from a supermarket in Beijing today. Delicious!
