While we observe the global pandemonium around the Historic Flyover at the DHL Stadium, we take this opportunity to remind the people of South Africa, especially youth, of the EFF Pilot Program which fully funds and supports young people to become commercial pilots. This is one of the many initiatives of the EFF, even when we are not yet in government. On 4 November 2026, the youth must choose an organisation that cares about their future and development! #ThankYouEFF

CHIDIMA BOUGHT A NEW MERCEDES BENZ Chidima, an illegal Nigerian foreigner who entered South Africa illegally, bought herself a new Mercedes Benz. It is, however, unclear how she is allowed to reside in Cape Town Parklands and drive without a licence or any form of documentation. She recorded herself driving while on the phone and posted the video. Is South African law in favour of illegal foreigners more than South Africans?

CAPE TOWN & JOBURG FLYOVERS MAKE CROWDS GASP, THE ROOIVALK MADE PHYSICS FILE A COMPLAINT🚨 If you think the Cape Town and Joburg flyovers are out of this world, wait until you see what South African pilots do when they get bored of flying the right way up. South Africans didn’t just pioneer low level stadium flyovers, they built the Rooivalk, an indigenous attack helicopter that could pull a 360 loop and briefly fly upside down, in 1990. When other countries were still teaching their helicopter pilots how to hover politely, South African pilots were treating a state of the art gunship like a stunt plane. While everyone was saying that helicopters can’t loop because of physics, rotors and gravity, South Africans said, “Hold my biltong, let me show you”, so they put a cannon on the nose, stub wings, missiles and still made it roll and loop. So ja, while some heli pilots are still mastering forward, backward and trying to avoid hitting the hangar, South African pilots were already flying upside down.

🔴WHAT IF INDIA vs SRI LANKA 2ND TEST ENDS IN A DRAW? 🤯 - India will win the series 1-0, but their WTC PCT will drop to around 51.52%. - India will remain around 5th in the WTC table. - After this, India will have 7 Tests remaining in the WTC 2025-27 cycle. - To reach the 60% mark, India would need at least 5 wins + 1 draw from those 7 Tests. - That means India can afford very little room for mistakes in the remaining matches. - However, 60% does not guarantee qualification - India’s final position will also depend on how Australia, South Africa, New Zealand and other contenders perform. One draw in Colombo could make India’s WTC road MUCH tougher! 😕

🇺🇸🇨🇳 ORBITAL LAUNCHES IN 2025: USA AND CHINA DOMINATE, NEW ZEALAND TIES RUSSIA WITH 17 The orbital launch race in 2025 was a clear two-horse show: the United States and China led the pack by a massive margin, while New Zealand quietly matched Russia with 17 successful launches to orbit. From 1957 to 2025, the cumulative chart tells the story of space history: the USA towers at 1,185 attempts (far ahead), China surged in recent years to 93 in 2025 alone, Russia/USSR historically strong but slowed to 17 this year, India steady at 13, and New Zealand's Rocket Lab driving its impressive 17, matching Russia's total despite the vast difference in resources. The "Other" category includes smaller players, but the gap is stark: USA and China alone accounted for the overwhelming majority of activity in 2025. This shift highlights the changing space landscape, private companies like Rocket Lab punching way above their weight, while traditional powers adjust to new realities. 2025 was a year of acceleration, and 2026 looks set to push even further.

CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA: In Cape Town, South Africa, there is a de@dly gang called “Coloured.” They are extremely violent and feared. Even Nigerian cult groups are seen as babies compared to them. A Nigerian man named Jide, also known as the “Mayor of Cape Town” (pictured), is reportedly working with the Coloured gang. Sources say he is pushing to bring all Nigerian cult groups under the control of Coloured, using his strong ties with the gang to gain influence. Cultists in Cape Town said Jide is not a member of any Nigerian cult group but wants all cult groups to be under him because of his strong ties to the Coloured gang. They also accused him of attacking Nigerians, getting them arrested through his police connections, and even working with Coloured people to attack Nigerians. It was reported that some cult leaders who attended the alliance meeting were suspended, but some have now been reinstated. Jide, a close friend of Abu Abel (a popular Eiye cultist), brought him in to help secure support from Eiye while also reaching out to leaders of other cult groups. But Eiye members rejected both Jide and Abu Abel, with some even threatening them. On Saturday, one of the Eiye members who had threatened them was drinking at a restaurant when he was attacked. Eyewitnesses said those who carried out the attack included Jide, Abu Abel, some Coloured gang members, and even South African police with two big dogs. The Eiye member’s head was brok€n and he was left bl€€ding. (Video on Telgrm). To Abu Abel: it’s time to quit cultism before it destroys you. Why not leave it behind, focus on your business, and use your position to promote peace? Or are you planning to sell Eiye and collect the money? If you keep involving yourself in cult activities when you should have retired, small boys will one day insult and disgrace you. Better reject cultism now.

Luxury Box for Mamdani & Hochul at MetLife Stadium While New Yorkers struggle with high taxes and budget challenges, Mayor Mamdani and Governor Hochul were spotted enjoying the Brazil vs. Morocco World Cup match from a luxury suite at MetLife Stadium on Saturday. Premium hospitality packages for these matches can cost thousands per person. This comes shortly after New York State provided billions in assistance to help close NYC’s budget gap. Even if provided for free, is it a good look for these two to be watching sports events in luxury while their constituents are struggling? Shouldn’t our leaders prioritize fiscal responsibility and everyday New Yorkers over luxury perks? Transparency on who covered the box would be appreciated. Do you think leaders should attend such events when times are tough? (Video: AI)

🚨 Everyone is shorting SpaceX ahead of the first unlock. But what if it's already priced in? SPCX just hit a new low at $113. That's 50% below its peak and far under its $135 IPO price. The first big unlock, around 20% of the float, hits near earnings on August 4. The obvious trade is to short into that supply. And the whole leaderboard is doing exactly that. But here's the catch: the stock already collapsed 50% BEFORE a single share unlocked. When everyone is positioned for the same event, the surprise usually goes the other way.
