Greetings to my old boss on the timeline 🙌🏽 On this day, 6 years ago, you unlawfully dismissed me and had me escorted out the office with security and made me look like an idiot in front of over 500 people. This one is for you. I wouldn’t be here if you didn’t end my career.

The beautiful Mam’ Esther Mahlangu. After presenting her signature hand painted 7 Series panels to the public, she was more than excited to go home & cook some Morogo with family ❤️ Even with many awards & royal treatment, it’s always the small things that give us the most joy.

The market is now peak wilding! Setting the bar, literally. This 1990 BMW 325is with 127 000km is now R1.5 Million Rand. That’s right, a Gusheshe is now worth more than a brand new BMW M340i at R1.36 million rand, plus 10k cash in the boot…

From 0 to full tank, it will cost you R1239,69 to fill up the new Polo Vivo giving you an “estimated range” of 520km, but given that I managed over 700km just shows you how light this car is on petrol. This all while having the Air Conditioner on level 1
