Hi guys. Anyone know someone selling tickets for today? Mates had 9 tickets and been scammed and flew down for this match, one from Dubai. Pls share.

Often we don’t nearly appreciate our greats enough while they’re playing and then miss them when they’re gone. Fourie du Preez, Dale Steyn, Kallis some examples. And now we have Pieter-Steph du Toit. One of the best ever. Lucky to watch him as he plays his 100th match today. 🐐

Loved making this for Pick n Pay and Bokke! What a team! A real privilege to work on this. Featuring cameos from Dan Carter, RG Snyman, @RugbyPodcast, Big Jim, Siya, Sous, Eben, Edwill, Bismarck, Oom Daan and Impi. We really set out to make a different kind of rugby ad. Enjoy.

⚠️ Scam alert ⚠️
Capitec CEO Graham Lee Deepfake.
By now, you've probably heard of deepfakes. These are fake AI videos, often used by scammers to get you to send them money or hand over your personal details. We’ve discovered a recent one doing the rounds...

"Earn R100k online!"
"10x your money in 1 month!"
Scammers don’t win because they’re smarter than you. They win because they understand you. They know how to create urgency. Curiosity. Excitement. Trust.
By the time you realise it…it’s too late.
Introducing: Slam the Scam. 🧵

Embarrassed to admit I didn’t know about this book. Fixing that immediately — straight to @ExclusiveBooks after #PulseConference2026.
@mikestopforth you are an absolute showman. Insightful, engaging, and impossible to ignore #pulseconference26

The Funniest Golf Story of My Life - a thread to brighten up your Tuesday.
Technically, it’s a golf story. But really, it’s a story about chaos disguised as golf.
A few years back we arrived early, painfully early, like 6:45 early, to play Serengeti Golf Course near OR Tambo.

Saw so many folks from the pre-2010 internet era tonight. It both made me feel old, and reminded me of how amazing it was to come up in that time. Thanks @MarkSham @RichMulholland - what an epic night. @mikestopforth let’s bring it back 😉

10 years ago today, I published my big post on AI. It has aged quite well if I may say so myself. Of the many 2015 predictions I cited in the post about the rate of AI progress ahead, it seems that the most bullish are the ones who had it right.

After SARU issued an apology to NZ rugby about the 'Haka disruption', I think we, as SA fans need to have a chat about basic matchday behaviours...
