Annika Langvad and Sofia Gomez Villafane came under pressure but endured to win their sixth consecutive stage victory on the 2025 Absa Cape Epic’s ‘Queen Stage’, the unflappable pair pushed hard to maintain their unbeaten campaign in the Western Cape on Friday, 21 March, 2025. The day’s stage began with a 3km neutral zone to get the riders safely out of the Fairview race village but, once the racing began in earnest through the Stellenbosch trails as they sped towards Lourensford Wine Estate, the usual suspects made their way to the front of the Aramex UCI Women’s’s Category. The ‘Nek’…
Have you ever been in a situationship? If not, let’s break it down for you. According to Toyosi Etim–Effiong, a situationship is “like we are not dating, we are not in a relationship, but we are ‘good.’” In other words, it’s undefined, unclear, and often complicated. Toyosi even explains that a situationship can exist even when both parties express feelings for each other, like when someone says, “I love you, but my mum says I have to marry the chairman’s daughter.” It’s a relationship, but not quite a proper one. On this episode of The Transparent Talk Show with Daniel…
John Dobson says there’s a “good feeling” in the Stormers camp after a big win in Llanelli, and a reinforced team – minus Deon Fourie – is set to battle Ulster next week. The Stormers dug deep to secure a 29-17 victory against Scarlets on Saturday in round 13 of the Vodacom URC, and speaking post-match from Parc y Scarlets, Dobson divulged a nerve-wracking experience in the coaches’ box. “It was one of those games where we take the outcome over the process. It wasn’t poor, it was just we were under the pump,” said the Stormers director of rugby.…

Photo Credit: Naomi Osaka/Instagram Naomi Osaka’s pride in her Haitian heritage was on full display at the Miami Open, where she draped the Haitian flag over her shoulders, flying it high after her recent match. The tennis star, born in Japan to a Haitian-American father and a Japanese mother, has been vocal about her advocacy for Haiti in recent times. Last week, she took to X (formerly Twitter) to pose a pointed question: “Can Haiti get their money back?”— a sharp response to a French lawmaker’s suggestion that the U.S. should return the Statue of Liberty because some Americans no…
Kaizer Chiefs defender Inacio Miguel revealed that he and Thabo Cele met in Portugal before both of them joined Amakhosi. Cele and Miguel faced each other while playing in Portugal for about six or seven years. The 29-year-old Angolan international has been full of praise for Cele since he joined Amakhosi in January. “One of his biggest qualities, he played in Europe also.

Coach Ivan van Rooyen believes the Lions were denied a match-winning try at Cardiff Arms Park on Friday night, but is as disappointed they didn’t adapt to conditions sooner. The Pride fell agonisingly short in Cardiff, edged 20-17 by the hosts in a round 13 Vodacom URC match that ended with Sibabalo Qoma held up over the line. With every point crucial in the race for playoff spots and only five rounds remaining after this week, Van Rooyen admits his team let a big chance slip away. “With the log being so tight, obviously every single point is big. We…
