This TTPod episode is a perfect example of the kind of conversation we want to amplify on this platform.I'm joined online from Tshwane by Tunisia Cassim, recently recognised as one of the South African Council for Planners' Top 30 Women in Planning for 2025. Tunisia's journey is truly inspiring and reflective of many of the challenges young planners face.She shares her early days navigating bursaries and retrenchments, to the resilience and perseverance needed during the COVID-era, JUST when her career was changing gears. And more recently we share in the celebration of her recently completed Master of Science in Planning at Wits.Her story is about more than professional milestones—it's about resilience, mentorship, and the passion to connect theory with practice in the planning profession.  She is a tireless champion and emerging mentor for young planners through her widely followed LinkedIn journal, Journey of a Candidate Town Planner.Tunisia reflects on the giants who shaped her path, the importance of bursaries and supportive educators, and the realities of building a career in a shifting urban landscape.Her reflections on resilience, mentorship, and the intersection of theory and practice remind us why these conversations matter.So settle in as we explore the lessons, challenges, and triumphs of a planner whose voice is helping redefine the future of the profession in South Africa.Recorded: Friday 12th December 2025

If your body hasn't been cooperating lately, you might be relieved to hear why that's more common and more fixable than you think.Philip Pape and I dug into the deeper reasons why so many people struggle with fat loss, muscle loss, and long-term consistency, especially when thyroid health or chronic stress is part of the picture. We talked about protein needs, the role of strength training as we age, why fasting isn't a magic solution, and how undereating can work against your goals. Philip also shares a very down-to-earth way of thinking about metabolism, recovery, and flexible nutrition that I find a lot of people benefit from hearing again in a simple, practical way.For anyone who's been frustrated by slow progress, tuning in may help you understand what your body has been trying to tell you.Episode Timeline: 00:00 — Intro & Guest Welcome00:55 — Philip's Background Story04:28 — Why Weight Loss Is Hard08:00 — Stress and Metabolism Impact09:53 — Can You Recomp?12:06 — Fasting Challenges Today14:36 — Training Fasted Thoughts17:33 — How Often to Lift20:37 — How Heavy to Lift23:12 — Push-Ups vs Weights25:58 — Rethinking Food & Nutrition30:36 — Flexible Eating Explained33:13 — Protein Powder Guidance36:01 — Creatine Benefits Overview37:12 — Supplements Philip Recommends42:19 — Tracking Food Options47:55 — Philip's App Launch Info48:28 — Final Weight-Loss Advice50:07 — Where to Find PhilipAbout Philip Pape:Philip Pape is a certified nutrition coach and the host of Wits & Weights, a Top 25 (Top 1%) nutrition podcast for people who want to build muscle, lose fat, and transform their health with evidence-based strategies.

Romans 10:5–17 is Paul's passionate reminder that salvation is not achieved by human effort but received through faith in Jesus Christ. The gospel is wonderfully accessible—“the word is near you”—and anyone who believes in their heart and confesses Jesus as Lord will be saved. Paul then asks a series of urgent questions: How can people call on Christ if they haven't believed? How can they believe if they've never heard? And how can they hear unless someone tells them? He concludes with this powerful truth: “Faith comes from hearing the message.”This message speaks directly into the mission of Campus Outreach South Africa, serving students at Wits and UJ. University campuses are full of young adults searching for meaning, identity, direction, and hope. Paul's words remind us that students won't encounter the life-changing message of Christ unless someone brings it to them. This is why Campus Outreach places staff and student leaders in the “harvest field” of the campus—building relationships, sharing their lives, and clearly proclaiming the gospel so that students can hear, believe, and be transformed.Faith begins with hearing the gospel, and hearing requires messengers. God calls us—just like Campus Outreach—to step onto our campuses, workplaces, and communities so that others may hear the good news and find eternal life in Christ.~~~Plan a visit to Rosebank Union Church in Sandton, Johannesburghttps://ruc.org.za/visit

It was a great time and we had the opportunity to play a bunch of group games, eat a ton of food, and test our Halloween knowledge through Wits and Wagers, what a classic. We even got the chance to do a local constructed deck Star Wars Unlimited tournament that sucked in a bunch of new players. So, in a way, we were like a bunch of vampires and brought them into the fold Magical Athlete is a riotous racing game where fantasy characters with wildly asymmetric powers compete in unpredictable sprints. It's light, fast, dice rolling game that will have hilarious moments throughout the game—perfect for groups who love a bit of chaos. Dirt & Dust, by contrast, is a deck builder that leans into the solitaire play with players trying to solve their own challenges while not really being impacted by others.

It's a satisfying blend of tactical tile placement and long-term strategy, ideal for fans of games like Carcassonne or Metro.

Interview with Rudi Deysel, Board MD & CEO OF West Wits MiningOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/west-wits-mining-asxwwi-gold-producer-doubles-npv-to-500m-with-81-irr-in-updated-dfs-7533Recording date: 30th October 2025West Wits Mining (ASX:WWI) has successfully transitioned from project developer to gold producer, achieving a significant milestone on October 14, 2025, with its first underground ore production in South Africa's renowned Witwatersrand Basin. Managing Director and CEO Rudi Deysel confirmed that following a three-month mobilization period beginning in July, the company completed its first physical blast and ore transport from the mine.The project's unique structure allows for simultaneous development and production, facilitated by previous early works that established an operational footprint. "We actually produced our first ore around the 14th of October. So that was the first physical blast and first transport of ore out of the mine," Deysel stated. Stockpiles are being transported to Sibanye Stillwater's Ezulwini processing plant under tolling arrangements, enabling the company to generate revenue while advancing development.Early results have exceeded expectations, with production tracking marginally above resource model forecasts. Ground conditions have proven excellent, with fresh rock and strong stability allowing rapid advancement of the one-east and one-west temporary declines. Drilling and blasting cycle times are completing within single shifts, with the operation progressing toward multi-blast approvals that could double production capacity at working faces.West Wits has implemented modern hydropower technology over traditional compressed air systems common in older South African mines, delivering significant power savings by eliminating compression losses and leakage issues. The company has also deployed digital infrastructure including volume scanning, electronic sampling systems, and real-time vibration monitoring.The project remains fully funded through to steady-state production of 70,000 ounces annually, with an eight-to-nine-month payback period at current gold prices. Management maintains a disciplined focus on establishing sustainable mining practices and quality standards during this critical ramp-up phase, while pursuing a longer-term growth target of 200,000 ounces per annum within three years. "Once you prove yourself as a good operator and you deliver what you promised then you really get financial partners that support you," Deysel emphasized.View West Wits Mining's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/west-wits-miningSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Instead, he says, these regulations have created a costly surveillance system with minimal benefit and unintended economic damage.

Retour sur un pan assez peu connu de l'histoire de la lutte contre l'apartheid : le combat pour développer le sport non ségrégué.  Un mouvement de boycott sportif avait vu le jour, afin d'isoler Pretoria au niveau international et la faire exclure des organisations mondiales, mais à l'intérieur du pays, des clubs et des fédérations se sont aussi battus pour créer tout un écosystème sportif non racial parallèle, et un fonds tente de préserver cette histoire. De notre correspondante à Johannesburg,  Les archives au sous-sol de l'université de Wits sont un vrai dédale, mais Ajit Gandabhai sait exactement où il se dirige : « Il y a une multitude de catégories, mais nous, on va vers la section sportive ». Ici se trouvent de précieuses ressources pour les historiens et les passionnés de sport. Une collection d'objets et de documents qui montrent que bien avant la fin de l'apartheid, les communautés noires, indiennes et métisses jouaient déjà au cricket, au rugby ou encore au tennis : « Là, ce sont des rapports financiers de clubs qui datent de 1973. Et ça, c'est le trophée de la compétition de cricket, seulement pour les fédérations non raciales, le vainqueur l'emportait avec lui », détaille Ajit Gandabhai. En 1964, l'Afrique du Sud est exclue des Jeux olympiques, puis six ans plus tard, de la Coupe du monde de foot. Le gouvernement prend alors des mesures cosmétiques pour présenter au monde une façade plus acceptable. Refusant toute compromission avec le régime, une organisation militante voit ainsi le jour ; la SACOS (South African Council of Sport). En plus d'orchestrer un boycott des équipes sud-africaines sur la scène internationale, des clubs et des fédérations parallèles ont été créés afin de promouvoir le sport non racial :«  Le sport est devenu un terrain de choix pour combattre l'état ségrégationniste de façon non violente. Et nous avions le slogan suivant : " Pas de sport normal dans une société anormale ". C'est encore vrai aujourd'hui ». À lire aussiAfrique du Sud: Saha, des archives militantes pour comprendre la résistance quotidienne au régime d'apartheid [1/3] Ne pas oublier  C'est pour que cette histoire ne s'oublie pas qu'un fonds d'archives a été créé, en 2014, par d'anciens militants et représentants d'organismes sportifs, dont Ajit Gandabhai : « Nous ne pouvons pas perdre la mémoire de ces gens qui ont sacrifié leur vie, qui ont été détenus par la police. Cette histoire doit être racontée, et pas seulement à partir de 1995 ». Comme les médias officiels, sous l'apartheid, ne couvraient pas ces compétitions, il a fallu se tourner vers des sources alternatives, des documents conservés par d'anciens joueurs ou passionnés. Et selon le secrétaire général du projet, Michael Kahn, il y a encore du travail : « Plusieurs sections ne sont pas encore bien documentées. Et en particulier en ce qui concerne le sport féminin, il y a des manques. Les femmes noires pratiquaient aussi du sport ! Dans des conditions vraiment difficiles ». Les responsables du fonds continuent leurs recherches, pour conserver ce pan d'histoire dans une société où l'accès au sport est encore loin d'être égalitaire entre les communautés.

Hey there, health warriors! Ever wondered why that burst of motivation to hit the gym or eat right always seems to fizzle out? In this crossover episode of Salad with a Side of Fries, Jenn Trepeck shares her featured episode on the Wits and Weights podcast to spill the beans on making wellness stick without the hype.In this special episode, Jenn and Philip Pape get real about swapping motivation for discipline and commitment, showing how small, consistent steps—like turning daily tasks into exercise or using gamification for accountability—build unstoppable momentum. They dive into why consistency is more important than intensity, how to avoid the mental trap of food tracking, and the power of understanding science/biology to transform nutrition choices. It's a fun, no-nonsense guide to crafting sustainable habits that fit your life! The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast, hosted by Jenn Trepeck, explores real-life wellness and weight loss, clearing up myths, misinformation, and bad science surrounding our understanding of nutrition and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store.IN THIS EPISODE: (00:00) Intro: A message from Jenn(04:14) Phillip introduces Jenn on his podcast called Wits and Weights, topic: motivation (06:42) Discussion of motivation, momentum, discipline and commitment (11:20) Discussion about accountability and consistency in wellness routines.(13:54) Reframing daily activities as exercise, suggesting consistency in small movements (23:11) The inverse relationship between consistency, intensity, and low-intensity(30:12) Jenn shares a personal example involving ketchup and food swaps(36:13) Accountability, gamification or a personal trainer to support habit formation(41:07) Jenn discusses obsession over nutritional thoughts and tracking tools(46:50) Jenn shares how understanding the "why" behind nutrition transforms emotional decisions into intellectual ones(51:58) Listener blip: Phillips' client shares weight loss story(54:53) Emotional eating(1:00:32) Jenn's advice: How daily movement is critical and the 30-30-30 planKEY TAKEAWAYS:Motivation is unreliable; discipline and commitment drive sustainable habit formation by prioritizing action over waiting for inspiration.Consistency trumps intensity in achieving long-term wellness and weight loss, as small, manageable steps build momentum effectively.Accountability, whether through a personal trainer or gamification, supports behavior change by aligning actions with individual goals and capacity.QUOTES: (07:05) “I often hear ‘I know what to do, I'm just waiting to want to do it. I'm supposed to want to do this.' and it's such BS. We've been taught that motivation comes first, so we're all sitting around waiting for lightning to strike.” Jenn Trepeck (08:14) “We think we're broken. Fundamentally, you are not broken. There is nothing wrong with you. We've been fed a line that motivation is what we need, and it's not. I call it a different M word: Momentum, because in the beginning, motivation actually looks like discipline.” Jenn Trepeck(10:08) “You've gotta have a catalyst and we wanna distinguish that catalyst from motivation. I think people get overwhelmed with thinking like, ‘oh my God, I have to go to the gym three days a week, how am I gonna keep getting motivated to do that?' and it's just this thought that festers.” Phillip Pape(24:11) “So consistency and intensity are inversely correlated. The more intense something is, the harder it is to be consistent with it.” Jenn Trepeck(30:04) “You're not just...
