National records tumbled on Wednesday, as South African athletes dominated the first leg of the ASA Grand Prix series, a World Athletics Continental Tour Challenger meeting held at Pilditch Stadium in Tshwane on Wednesday, 12 March, 2025. Opening the main programme at the top-flight domestic meeting, Leandri Holtzhausen produced an impressive heave of 67.95 metres in the hammer throw, adding more than a metre to the national record of 66.54m which she had set at a Central Gauteng Athletics league meeting in Germiston, last month. “I definitely feel I can go close to 70 metres.

The air is electric with vintage vibes, the outfits are screaming elegance, and every babe around you looks like she just stepped out of an iconic fashion era. But hold up, what exactly is Retro Glam, and how do we make it pop our way?

Having been a fan since 1999 when Craig David first featured on the Artful Dodger’s “Rewind”, I’d never heard UK garage before, I’d never heard Craig David before but it was love at first sound! I am aware that Craig David has been to Cape Town before but this time he’s performing live at Grand West on Thursday the 8th of December 2022. “Craig David’s wildly…
As was laid out in Part 1, men’s elite club football in Europe can function as a catalyst for European identification, by providing continued contact and experience with a highly Europeanised cultural phenomenon. As a consequence of the intersection of football’s increased professionalization and commercialization and the process of European integration, fans cheer for teams with internationalised player squads, follow continental competitions, and have easy access to foreign leagues (see for example Niemann et al. 2022). This is in part driven by the “expanding everyday prevalence and influence of the mass and social media” in the so-called mediatisation of football…

There were two South African records broken when the country’s athletes competed against a sprinkling of Africa’s top talents at the first leg of the ASA Grand Prix series, a World Athletics Continental Tour Challenger meeting, at Pilditch Stadium in Pretoria on Wednesday.

The other SA record came in the women’s 4x400m relay, where Shirley Nekhubui, Miranda Coetzee, Marlie Viljoen and Zeney Geldenhuys produced a time of 3:min…
After nearly 10 years I finally returned to Joburg. I was SUPER nervous because…well…Capetonians are spoilt and basically we don’t ever really have a reason to visit – nor the will to do so! But, we did, and I must say that I had a really good time! In recent times there was a TikTok that went viral from a Joburg girl living in Cape Town and asking why it’s so hard to make friends in the Mother City. The conversation is being picked up again and it got me thinking about my colleagues who live in Joburg as…
