The crowd clapped, cheered, and reached out for high-fives as Tony walked through with a big smile, stopping every now and then to share a laugh. The atmosphere was light, fun, and celebratory — the perfect way to welcome him. Tony kept it classic in a light-coloured, single-breasted blazer paired with a dark tee and matching trousers, finished with dark shoes. Simple, sharp, and stylish, it was just right for the moment.…
Rassie Erasmus has explained his decision to persist with Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu and Manie Libbok as the Springboks’ flyhalf options for Saturday’s Rugby Championship decider against Argentina at Twickenham.

Styled by Swazzi, the actress, producer, and entrepreneur was captured in a gown that felt like a conversation between heritage and modern design. The bodice carried bold blocks of red, white, navy, and orange in an abstract, geometric pattern, while the skirt spun into life with traditional Ankara prints – yellow florals and fine motifs laid against a deep backdrop. Together, the two elements created a look that carried its roots proudly while pushing into…
