Companies didn't even make the specialized plastic number 4 at all. 1 company of only 2 carried the 3 , Nowadays non-digital signage at stations have 1-6 in there offices just in case, and the 1s are getting dusty.Shots fired in the Middle-East meant 25 cents up and when things calmed down drift down 1 or 1.5 cents in a day every and or 3rd day at best slowly.Beyond Trump warning people in a capital city in a place most Americans only know as a Boogeyman nation, Does any of this seem as though we are heading into an escalation of Geo-political violence that will make our domestic issues of conflict swiftly forgotten if the alleged massive state sponsor of Terror advertised for decades really has cultivated an embedded army of weaponized lone wolves and cells of asymmetric warfare?

KwaZulu-Natal Transport MEC Siboniso Duma is considering a ban on trucks using the R34 near Ulundi due to repeated deadly crashes. The road, heavily used by coal trucks, was the site of a tragic bus accident that killed ten people yesterday. The bus was carrying EFF supporters returning to Vryheid from a Youth Day rally in Durban. Elvis Presslin spoke to Gavin Kelly, CEO of the Road Freight Association, to discuss this further

The leadership of the Economic Freedom Fighters says it will assist in the identification of the 10 people who died in the crash on the R34 between Ulundi and Vryheid last night. This comes as the death toll from the bus crash has been revised down to 10. The accident occurred when a bus carrying supporters from the party's National Youth Day rally in Durban, allegedly collided with a oncoming truck struck.

Patrick Williams owns a stunning restaurant in London inspired by South African cooking. Growing up in Durban, down the South Coast he loved the sunshine and the beach life. At 17, with no clear direction, Patrick found inspiration in his older brother, a chef working in Cape Town. Moving to live and train with his brother was a significant life change but one filled with promise. Leaving the familiar shores of Durban for the bustling city of Cape Town was a cultural shift, but Patrick quickly acclimated and thrived. He spent 10 years working with esteemed chefs, where he progressed to junior sous chef. His culinary journey further led him to work with PJ Vadas, another signature restaurant on a South African wine farm. “ PJ was a bit of a mentor. My brother was a mentor and another good chef friend of mine who, now lives in Australia,” he told East Coast Radio. At 26, Patrick's mentors suggested he move overseas to deepen his culinary expertise, with the possibility of returning to head up his own restaurant. Embracing this advice, Patrick relocated to London, a move that would ignite his future successes. “So I moved over to London,” he shared. London brought Patrick new culinary experiences and personal milestones. Working with Robin Gill, a chef full of energy and creativity, significantly influenced Patrick's culinary approach. During this period, he also met his now-wife, Amy, a steadfast supporter through the demanding London culinary scene. With Amy's background in a restaurant family and a career in design, the couple decided to venture into their own culinary enterprise. The idea was born from their shared desire to infuse their heritage and creativity into a unique dining experience. The South African influence was a central theme, driven by Patrick's pride in his roots and the untapped potential he saw in introducing London to polished South African flavours. Determined to create a restaurant that stood out, they brainstormed for a name reflecting their vision. The Kudu, a stunning animal and a fitting logo, perfectly encapsulated their South African identity. Kudu's culinary offerings bear the distinctive mark of Durban's vibrant spice profile. With a team of South African chefs, the restaurant's dishes carry regional inspiration. Their newest venture, a dry spice rub monkfish dish, epitomises this blend of authenticity and innovation. “ There wasn't really anybody doing it on sort of more of a higher end. Not saying that we are a fine dining restaurant, but something that was a bit more polished and it really showcased what South African flavours could be,” he explained. For Patrick, these touches ensure that their cuisine resonates with familiarity for South African patrons while offering a fresh take on traditional flavours. Patrick's journey, from the sunny beaches of Durban to the dynamic food scene of London, displays the utmost resilience and passion. His advice for aspiring chefs is to dive in wholeheartedly, invest in continuous learning, and surround oneself with supportive, like-minded mentors. This relentless pursuit of improvement and community is what fuels Patrick's culinary success.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Friday morning, the 23rd of May, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to the Gospel of Luke 6:42:”…how can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me remove the speck that is in your eye,' when you yourself do not see the plank that is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck that is in your brother's eye.”I am laughing because that applies to every single one of us, especially you, sir! You know folks, I love Jesus so much and His teachings are so simple and yet so profound. Remember, people who live in glass houses don't throw stones. Do not criticise, sort your own situation out before you start to criticise and become a hypocrite. Now, I looked up the Oxford Dictionary to find out the literal meaning of the word, “hypocrite”. It means “a person who pretends to have higher standards than they really have,” and that is you and I, isn't it? Let's be honest. I have one of my sons who is a very accomplished rugby coach. He has his full colours for Kwazulu-Natal for teaching schoolboys how to play rugby, and often he comes up and visits us on the farm (he is living down in Durban), and we have a little chuckle together. He says to me, “Dad, the main problem I have coaching rugby is not the little boys I have to teach. No, it's their mothers.” That's what he told me! He didn't say so much about the dads. Mom, you must listen up today. He said they stand on the sidelines, and they are telling their little boy that they must kick the ball, or pass the ball or that he must tackle, or that he is messing up the game plan. He said it gets so bad that he has told the little boys - by the way, it is not their fault - ”If you listen to your mother shouting from the sideline, I am going to substitute you for somebody else." That is harsh, hey? But that is what he has to do because otherwise the kids are listening to their parents who have never played rugby, and this young son of mine has got his full colours as a rugby coach! And of course, the little boys listen to the rugby coach and that is why he is so successful.Today, please let us, all of us, take the plank out of our own eyes before we start to tell other people how to live. Let's start doing what Jesus says and not what we think. Have a wonderful day,God bless you and goodbye.

Die Namibië Toerismeraad was saam met die toerismeministerie en meer as 20 uitstallers aan die voorpunt van die poging. Sleuteluitstallers het ingesluit Namibia Wildlife Resorts, FlyNamibia, Gondwana Collection, Ultimate Safaris, en nege klein- en medium-ondernemings. 'n Hoogtepunt was die Toerismeraad se “Networking with Namibia”-geleentheid. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het gesels met Gitta Paetzold, die uitvoerende hoof van die Namibiese Gasvryheidsvereniging, wat die waarde van sulke skoue uitlig.

Die Durbanse Hooggeregshof het Teneil Ursula Kok tot 20 jaar tronkstraf gevonnis vir die moord op haar driejarige dogter, Fadillah Chantal Kok, in Mei 2022. Die hof het mishandeling in haar verlede en geestesgesondheids-probleme as versagtende faktore beskou. Die NVG se woordvoerder, Natasha Ramkisson-Kara, sê regter Jacqueline Henriques het beveel dat sy haar vonnis naby Durban uitdien om met haar ander kinders kontak te hou:

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Saturday morning, the 17th of May, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to the Book of Hebrews 12:1-2:”Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” Jesus finished His race! I want to speak to you today about one of the most gruelling marathon races on the planet. Yes, I am talking about the Comrades Marathon which is going to take place in a few weeks time. It is the Mount Everest of marathon races. In fact, it is two standard marathons, back to back, plus a few kilometres extra. I ran that race once, the downhill one from Pietermaritzburg to Durban but 14 kms from the end, I could view the Indian Ocean, I was on the outskirts of Durban, I collapsed, and was taken to hospital by ambulance and they put a drip in my arm. That happened because I did not eat and I did not drink sufficiently and, so I dehydrated.I want to tell you about a little bird. Yes, I am talking about the swallow. He is currently leaving South Africa and heading north to Europe for summer. That little bird, I don't know how much he weighs. He eats and drinks on the wing. He hardly ever stops. He catnaps on the wing, he is disciplined, and that little bird will fly all the way to Europe and then when the winter comes in Europe, he will fly all the way back down to South Africa. You and I must also be disciplined. We must spend time with Jesus Christ every single day if we are going to finish our race, and it is not a sporting race. It is a race of life and death. Many people start so well but they don't spend time with Jesus on the route and in the end they collapse and they fall by the way. Let's not do that today. Let's be disciplined like the swallow. Let's spend time with Jesus Christ. He is the source of all we need to eat and drink and we will finish the race strong!Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day,Goodbye.

"Music kept me sane." The hard techno breakout opens up about how life's greatest challenges have made her headstrong. To honour Mental Health Awareness week, the RA Exchange sits down with hard techno DJ Lee Ann Roberts, who opens up about her tough childhood in Durban, South Africa, and how music saved her life. While to some it may appear that Roberts broke through only a few years ago, she's been hard at work for much longer, starting out in South Africa's fashion scene before moving to Los Angeles and finally committing herself to pursuing a career as a DJ and producer. She speaks candidly about her abusive household and the limited opportunities for self-expression and creativity she had as a child. As a result, she's become headstrong; nothing has stopped Roberts from being herself and chasing her dreams, and she talks about how self-care, self-compassion, authenticity and a sense of humour have gotten her through some of the darkest periods of her life. As a member of the contemporary hard techno scene, Roberts also shares her reaction to the recent Resident Advisor feature on the movement and the underpinnings of a trend that has polarised the underground.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Monday morning, the 12th of May, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Book of Ecclesiastes 3:1-2:“To everything there is a season,A time for every purpose under heaven:A time to be born,And a time to die;A time to plant,And a time to pluck what is planted;…”Then we go to the Gospel of John 4:35. Jesus said: “Do you not say,‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest'? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!”We are speaking today about seasons. What season are you in? In South Africa, we are going into winter. I know in Europe and in North America, they are going into summer. I love seasons, as a farmer, I really do. Every season is so special. We are in the autumn season at the moment in South Africa. The Americans call it the time of fall, the fall season, where all the trees are losing their leaves. They are a beautiful golden amber colour, rich in colour. The crops are golden for harvest. Jesus says, “Do not hold back. It is time to reap.” What season are you in at the moment? I know that Canada is a beautiful country, but it also can be very harsh for agriculture. Those men have to work because they have a hundred days to prepare their land, plant their crops, and harvest their crops before the snow. They need to look sharp.Don't waste the season that you are in at the moment. The Lord will use you in whatever season you happen to be in, and do not wish it away. I get so sad when I hear people say, “I wish this winter would finish” and then they say, “I wish the spring would get done with” and then “Summer, it is so hot. I wish the winter would come.” They are never happy. Every season is very special. Don't wish it away, but rather embrace it and enjoy it. Don't be afraid of retirement, madam. Sir, don't be afraid. It is an opportunity, a new opportunity to be used by God. I want to say to that young man, a faint heart never gained a fair maiden. If you love her, propose to her and marry her. What are you hanging around for? If you don't look sharp somebody else will marry her. I remember in London in the City Temple, I married no less than twelve couples in one night, and they came in their casual clothes. It is a service I will never forget as long as I live. I also remember standing in the stadium, the rugby stadium in Durban, at Kings Park, and saying, “To hell with El Nino” (that's the drought). I am going home to plant potatoes.” And I did.Have a wonderful day, Jesus bless you and goodbye.

Roadside dangers take center stage in this sobering exploration of the hazards facing tow truck operators worldwide. The deadly toll becomes immediately apparent as we uncover the shocking pattern of violence in Durban, South Africa, where three drivers have been killed in suspected drive-by shootings this year alone, highlighting an alarming trend that authorities have yet to address effectively.The regulatory landscape for towing services is evolving rapidly across multiple continents. Ghana's mandatory towing subscription program represents an innovative approach to clearing highways of abandoned vehicles while avoiding monopolistic concerns that plagued previous attempts. Meanwhile, Australia has expanded its protective slow-down laws to shield tow truck operators and roadside workers, imposing substantial fines on drivers who fail to reduce speed when passing these vulnerable professionals.American towing companies face both tragedy and controversy. We examine the heartbreaking case of Rico Funches, who lost his life when his tow truck plunged into a pond following a multi-vehicle collision in Mississippi. In Kansas City, a different battle unfolds as authorities crack down on predatory towing practices, seizing vehicles and bringing charges against operators accused of illegal activities. The towing industry's pushback against what they consider excessive regulation reveals the complex balance between consumer protection and reasonable oversight.Perhaps most poignant is the survival story of Florida tow truck driver John Umara, who suffered severe injuries when struck while working roadside. His impassioned plea for drivers to "move over, slow down" serves as both a reminder of the risks these essential workers face daily and a call to action for all motorists. Whether you're a towing professional, a concerned citizen, or a policy maker, this comprehensive examination of the industry's challenges demands your attention and underscores the urgent need for enhanced safety measures worldwide.Share your thoughts on how we can better protect these roadside heroes. Have you witnessed dangerous situations involving tow truck operators? Let us know in the comments or leave a review sharing your experiences.

“We've had a pope who was able to grasp and understand the problems in third world countries.”In 2023 Pope Francis showed his commitment to Africa by visiting two countries riven by conflict: the Democratic Republic of Congo and South Sudan. Hundreds of thousands of people turned out to celebrate him in Kinshasa. But his decision was not a surprising choice – given that he'd made social justice and the rights of the poor and suffering central to his papacy.So when the news of his death was announced yesterday, it was greeted by African Catholics with both sadness, but also prayers of thanks for his life.For today's Africa Daily, Alan Kasujja hears from two Congolese people who met the pope as students, Mpongo Simon and Christine Mwanini, and speaks to Father Desmond Nair, a Catholic Priest of the Archdiocese of Durban, South Africa.
