The reason you crash at 3pm might have nothing to do with how well you slept 🥱

Your body has a natural afternoon dip, and what you eat for lunch, how much iron you have and your daily vitamin intake can all make the difference.

What nobody tells you about brain fog 🌫️

GLP-1s were never just about weight loss.

Dr Coetzee explains that GLP-1 medications started out as diabetic drugs, helping regulate insulin and slowing digestion. She's clear that exercise and good glucose management still matter alongside them, and calls GLP-1s a genuine lifeline for many patients.

I was always planning to make sure this post wasn’t lost in the social media storm of 2 of the biggest events on the calendar happening over 1 weekend but now I am really glad I’ve taken a moment to process because, to be honest, I still haven’t wrapped my head around why playing my little part in the 2026 South African Sports Awards has had such a remarkable impact.

So as always we turn to gratitude...

Firstly, thank you to the next most emotionally invested sports mad South African I know beside myself (and now absolutely love) our honourable minister of Sports, Arts and Culture Gayton Mackenzie. Your reference to the very intentional role I have taken on as the official “work husband” to some of the brightest talent in the Sports Broadcast space and beyond, is the supreme compliment and professional kudos. And, what a privilege to be able to bask in the light they are shining. That alone might have been why I “needed” to be there, to honour the incredible women in my career

But, to see the likes of Carol Tshabalala and Stacey Holland on that spectacular stage, NOT receiving awards... but handing the friggin things over (!!) was one of the greatest moments of validation in my career! Sport and Women will save us all!!

It does lead me to a very interesting self reflection. To have me standing beside you, really does require a super human ability to help regulate and anchor this ridiculously emotional mess that I am. And WOW, was @leratokganyago not my rock as we surfed some of the most emotional waves in sport I have ever experienced. Her ability and the energy that shines through I think are there for everybody to see but what you might not notice from your vantage point is the real time impact she has on this industry.

I used to go on about “Creating Space” being holding the door open for the next person in the chain, maybe helping to empower them in some way, but as I saw the 6-7 plus careers manifesting for others just in her 5 meter radius at any given moment, I now know that while we have to represent who we need to so desperately on air, off it, we create jobs and employ and practically and relevantly impact the industry directly. Lerato, you a
