Took this shot of the Sandton skyline from my balcony at home this morning 😍 It's Friday and I'm excited about the world despite all the madness happening around us. One of the benefits of trying to capture beauty for others is that I've trained my brain to constantly search for

I wonder how many of the other metros can say they’ve achieved a clean audit? As citizens, we don’t fully appreciate that anything less than a clean audit is fraud and theft, yet we’ve become so used to taxes being misappropriated that we will lay the blame for our woes

Good news this morning - The Auditor General has confirmed that Cape Town has received another CLEAN AUDIT! 🗒 In Cape Town residents can feel assured that public money is spent for public good. Much still to do, but clean governance is the solid foundation on which we build.

I'm telling you, a walk on the Sea Point promenade is spiritual 🥰 After a crazy week, I walked that prom flat last night and this is what I captured 🇿🇦❤️ I couldn't get enough of those colours popping in the night sky. Jeandre said it perfectly... A sunset is always majestic but

📷You can tell a lot about people based on how they analyse last night's win by the Springboks: ✅ There are South Africans celebrating the way the Boks unite the country with their never-say-die attitude. These people care deeply about SA and believe in our future 🇿🇦❤️ ❌

Whenever people visit Cape Town for longer than five days, I always encourage them to do the infamous drive around the Peninsula ❤️ No matter how many pics I share, I don't think it explains how life changing that drive is, but I'd like to share four pictures I took recently and

It always amazes how many black people let the ANC off the hook for looting TRILLIONS of Rands in the last two decades that could have gone toward uplifting the lives of black people, adding infrastructure, supporting small businesses, and so on. Yes, this is part of why the

I drove from Cape Town to Joburg on Tuesday and there were a million stop and go's. At one point, I got out the car and saw this view. Had to capture it for you. I was reminding that despite everything we're going through, we genuinely live in the MOST BEAUTIFUL country on earth.

I would love to hear from all of you as to why you think Fourways Mall has struggled with high vacancies? What has gone wrong with Fourways Mall? And what could they do to improve their fortunes? I'm curious to understand the issues they're facing from a business perspective.
