After facing the prospect of death hooked up to oxygen with vitals that just wouldn't stabilise, I'm grateful for life. I salute the brave staff at Milpark Hospital and the lady in the opposite bed who prayed for me when I wept with anxiety. Thank you. #Covid19SA Please be safe.

We give our children everything we did not have. The only trouble is that we deprive them of the lessons taught by not having. Delayed gratification. An appreciation for things. The value of money. The reward of getting something after having worked hard for it. @Powerfm987

Horses can actually see nearly full circle around themselves. They wear blinkers during racing to stop them being distracted or panicking. As you run your race, put blinkers on, stay focused, forget the vain, noisy displays of others and giddy up towards your prize! @Powerfm987

There are few people who make an impression on me. But today Thoriso Themane's father did. He taught me the meaning of grace under fire, elegance of spirit and intestinal fortitude in the geography of brokenness. This young man's death must not be in vain. 💔 #JusticeforThoriso
