Siphiwe Tshabalala Foundation Brings Relief to Flood-Stricken Families in... Limpopo Kaizer Chiefs legend Siphiwe Tshabalala and his foundation have stepped in to assist families devastated by recent flooding in Limpopo, offering much-needed relief to communities hard hit by severe weather. Heavy rains in January triggered widespread flooding across the province, cutting off communities, damaging homes, closing schools and prompting government disaster declarations. Many residents have faced loss of property, displacement and disruptions to daily life. Responding to this crisis, the Siphiwe Tshabalala Foundation delivered aid directly to affected households including essential supplies and support to help families begin the long process of recovery. Tshabalala’s initiative comes amid a broader relief effort across the province, which has seen non-profits, government agencies and civil society groups mobilise resources to assist those in need. Local leaders and residents have welcomed the foundation’s intervention, noting that community-focused efforts play a vital role in bridging gaps where urgent needs remain. With infrastructure damaged and many families still grappling with the impact of the floods, Tshabalala’s support underscores the importance of both high-profile and grassroots action in disaster response. The floods have had a far-reaching impact, disrupting education and infrastructure, and prompting ongoing aid distributions and calls for long-term recovery planning by authorities.show more

As Spain battles deadly floods, and millions of people... are devastated across the Phillipines and Taiwan by a record typhoon -- the G20 United States Health Ministers' declaration on #ClimateChange and health could not be more relevant. Strong #ClimateAction with health at the centre must be taken seriously, and funded appropriately.

My philosophy when working with HS kids who are... very strong. 445x3. Our dude Blaze Waters (HS sophomore) will get stronger over the next 2+ years just by getting older and training more. It’s my/our job to make sure he’s also producing force at a high rate and to not just go for maxes. Health drives performance. Once we get in the 500 range, we really won’t focus on more weight. Yes he will definitely be able to lift more than 500 but instead we will focus on pulling a % at FAST SPEEDS. In addition we are working on single leg strength and other low hanging fruit that big dudes might not prioritize.show more

Here's a video of Jacob Chansley forcing his way... into the Capitol as others in the MAGA Mob broke windows alongside him. In 20 states, there are "Castle Doctrine" laws, which make it acceptable to use deadly force in your home to defend yourself and your property. If Chansley and a mob broke into someone's home, Trump supporters would be cheering on anyone who shot and killed them, but since Chansley was there to try and overturn an election for the candidate they all support, many MAGA supporters want him exonerated and out of prison. I'm sick of the double standard.show more
