With rugby celebrations across the country, this milestone celebration brings together schoolboy rugby, tradition, and a deep sense of brotherhood that has defined Pretoria Boys High for generations.

 

Pretoria, South Africa (07 April 2026) – Pretoria Boys High School, one of the oldest schools in Pretoria, is celebrating 125 years of excellence this year. What better way to mark the milestone than with a rugby festival on the hallowed Brooks Field?

Across the country, rugby festivals have become a staple of the school calendar, bringing together some of the best young talent and fiercest rivalries. From one province to the next, they’re about tradition, connection, and a shared love for the game. And in Pretoria, Boys High’s contribution to that landscape carries a legacy of its own.

As the school celebrates 125 years of excellence, its rugby festival becomes more than just a weekend of fixtures. It’s a gathering of history, pride, and a brotherhood that stretches across generations.

For director of rugby Paul Anthony, the real significance lies beyond the touchline.

“I think it’s like a family. The school’s based on the old boys, it’s like a brotherhood. The guys just stick together and go on forever. It’s a massive bond.”

That sense of belonging is something he knows well. Anthony himself walked these fields as a learner in the mid-1970s before returning years later as a coach.

It’s a cycle that extends beyond him. Having coached some of the very figures who now lead the school, and with his own sons having come through the system, his connection to Pretoria Boys High runs deep.

“My sons were right here,” he says. “They’re now overseas, but they’ll be watching, and by four o’clock they’ll be telling me what we did right and wrong. That’s how invested they are.”

While the festival showcases high-level competition, Anthony is quick to emphasise that schoolboy rugby should be about more than just winning.

“People come for the rugby and the competition, but also to catch up with their mates. There’ll be a tent full tonight, just reminiscing. That’s what it’s about.”

As the school celebrates 125 years, Anthony is clear about the kind of legacy it hopes to leave behind.

“The legacy should be to send well-educated, well-mannered young men into the world,” he says. “Men who love this country and want to make a difference.”

KwaZulu-Natal’s netball star brings her sharp shooting and Baby Protea talent to Malaysia in a professional netball league.

 

Kokstad, South Africa (07 April 2026) – From the courts of Kokstad to the international stage, Mbali Diphoko is taking her talent global.

The rising netball star from KwaZulu-Natal has secured an exciting move to Malaysia, where she’ll be turning out for the Selangor Angels in a professional league stint that marks another big step in her journey.

Hailing from the Harry Gwala District, Mbali has built a reputation as a calm and clinical shooter, known for delivering when it matters most. Whether it’s her accuracy, confidence under pressure, or natural flair on court, she’s become one of the standout young talents coming through South African netball.

This opportunity may be a short-term stint, but it speaks volumes about just how far her game has come. It’s also a proud moment for KwaZulu-Natal netball.

In the past, Mbali has shared that her playbook for success is built on hard work, resilience, and self-belief. She emphasises the importance of putting in the time to improve your skills, persevering through tough times, and trusting in your abilities to achieve your dreams. From her roots in Shayamoya to representing South Africa on the international stage, Mbali continues to inspire young netballers across the country.

As a Baby Protea shooter, Mbali has already shown glimpses of her potential, and now she carries that same promise onto an international platform. Now it’s all about representing where she comes from and inspiring others who dream of following a similar path.

For KZN Netball, this is a celebration of one of their own.

The Fieldshill Water Athletic Club brought together runners, walkers, and families to collectively cover over 43,000km, with participants of all ages contributing to a global-distance milestone.

 

Chatsworth, South Africa (07 April 2026) – You don’t need a passport to go around the world. Sometimes, all it takes is a pair of running shoes and a community that shows up.

Fieldshill Water Athletic Club (FWAC) proved with their incredible “Around the World” Club Challenge, turning everyday runs and walks into a global journey. All from the heart of Umhlatuzana in Chatsworth.

The goal is to cover 40,000 kilometres ( distance around the earth) in just 12 months. By the end of March 2026, two months ahead of schedule, the team had already clocked an incredible 43,548 kilometres. And the best part? This wasn’t about elite athletes chasing records. It was powered by everyday people, the parents, grandparents, youngsters and friends.

Behind the scenes, the energy never dropped. A buzzing WhatsApp group became the heartbeat of the challenge, filled with encouragement, progress updates, and those well-earned sweaty selfies. Whether it was early mornings or rainy afternoons, there was always someone cheering the next person on. For the club’s leadership, the challenge was inspired by large-scale global initiatives; they wanted to bring that same sense of ambition and excitement to their own community.

Along the way, people built routines, pushed through tough days, and discovered a new level of discipline. Fitness improved, confidence grew, and what started as a challenge turned into a lifestyle. Even more special was how families and friendships strengthened, proving that moving together brings people closer.

Now, as the journey reaches its final stretch, the club is preparing to celebrate every single contribution. Each participant will be recognised for being part of something truly special.

And in the end, Fieldshill Water Athletic Club didn’t just go around the world. They brought their entire community along for the journey.

The SA Youth Rugby Medical Assistance Fund is calling on the public to support injured players like Sandile and Wian, whose family now faces overwhelming medical costs after a serious head injury.

 

South Africa (07 April 2026) – It all started as a mission to support young rugby players in crisis. Now it is becoming a lifeline for families facing some of their toughest moments. The SA Youth Rugby Medical Assistance Fund is stepping in where help is needed most. By ensuring that injured players are not left to face the aftermath alone.

Right now, that support is focused on a young player named Sandile, who suffered a serious head injury that included a fractured skull and a blood clot on the brain. No one prepares for these injuries and unfortunately, his situation has been made even more difficult by the fact that his medical insurance has declined to cover the costs.

Sandile’s mother, who is currently unemployed, is raising him on her own following the passing of his father. With hospital bills expected to be significantly high, the financial pressure has quickly become overwhelming. Despite efforts to share his story across various rugby communities, support has been limited so far. This shows just how many families face these battles quietly, without the backing they need.

It’s exactly why the SA Youth Rugby Medical Assistance Fund exists. The organisation was created to ensure that young players, regardless of their background or visibility, have access to support during moments like these. For those behind the initiative, this work is deeply personal, driven by lived experiences of navigating serious rugby injuries without adequate medical cover.

As part of their efforts to raise funds, the organisation has launched a “Fill My Tank” raffle. With fuel prices continuing to climb, the prize of a full tank of petrol or diesel is both practical and timely, while also contributing to a meaningful cause.

Tickets are available at R20 each, or R100 for six entries, with the draw set to take place on 18 April 2026. Every entry goes towards supporting injured school rugby players like Sandile, helping ease the financial burden on their families during incredibly difficult times.

The fund is also supporting another young player, Wian Botha, a 15-year-old from Krugersdorp whose rugby journey has been put on hold after suffering two concussions last year. He has since been diagnosed with post-concussion syndrome and now requires at least six months of ongoing treatment to recover fully. Like Sandile, Wian’s situation highlights just how quickly things can change for young athletes, and how important it is to have support systems in place.

More than anything, this is about community. Showing up, even in small ways, for those who need it most.

What started as one runner’s personal routine has grown into a Friday morning gathering where everyone, from beginners to seasoned runners feel at home.

 

Johannesburg, South Africa (07 April 2026) – What began as a quiet Friday morning routine has grown into something far more meaningful. For Natasha Donnelly, the journey of the PPT Social Run didn’t start with a grand plan. In fact, it started during a very personal season of her life.

“At the time, I was more into cycling, but it got too cold, so I started running by myself. One of the girls said, ‘Don’t run alone, come join us.’”

That first run was an unforgettable experience for Natasha. And not because of pace or performance, but because of how it felt.

“I remember thinking I felt out of place because I’m not really a runner. But as we started running and talking, there were no expectations. It was just about connecting, engaging and I immediately felt it.”

From that moment, she kept coming back and what was a simple idea developed into something much bigger.

“I said, why don’t we make this bigger? Not in a complicated way. Just let people know we’re running, and we’ll have coffee afterwards.”

Partnering with a local coffee spot, the group asked for nothing more than an earlier opening time, and from 15 runners it went to a weekly gathering of nearly 200. But for Natasha, the numbers are not what define PPT.

“It’s difficult to explain, but it’s more than a club,” she says. “It’s a community initiative. It’s a feeling. People come here because they’re looking for something they don’t find elsewhere, that sense of belonging.”

Every Friday before sunrise, people of all ages and fitness levels arrive. It could be runners, walkers, beginners, seasoned athletes, even children before school and grandparents joining in. That sense of inclusivity has also created space for deeply meaningful moments.

One example is Jay-Dee, who joined the run in her wheelchair without any announcement or special arrangement.

“She just arrived one day, and that’s what made it so powerful,” Natasha says. “We never wanted to make it a ‘thing’. She felt comfortable enough to just show up.”

From there, the community stepped in by helping where needed, even arranging a ramp to make the route more accessible.

The same spirit carried into fundraising efforts, where the group raised close to R200,000 to support both Jay-Dee and another member, Bill, with equipment.

And while expansion is exciting, PPT’s mission remains simple.

“As long as it’s about the people, and there’s good coffee,” she smiles, “then we’re happy.”

Anele Mdoda and Frankie got the inside scoop on A24’s most anticipated 2026 film, The Drama, ahead of its cinema release.

 

Johannesburg, South Africa (06 April 2026) – Hollywood’s finest, Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, sat with Anele and Frankie.

The exclusive interview took place ahead of the release of The Drama, one of the most anticipated films of the year, which hit cinemas on 3 April. And if the storyline is anything to go by, audiences are in for an emotional rollercoaster, as a perfect couple’s wedding week takes an unexpected and dramatic turn.

But before the film even landed on the big screen, Anele and Frankie made sure to bring their signature energy to the moment and they didn’t just stop at the questions. Fully leaning into the theme, the duo showed up dressed for the occasion, channelling the film’s wedding aesthetic in a way that added a fun twist to the interview.

It’s that mix of humour and creativity that made the sit-down feel less like a formal press tour and more like a conversation. And let’s be honest, sharing a screen with stars like Zendaya and Robert Pattinson? That’s a moment.

Beyond the glitz, it’s also a big win with Anele and the Club being the only South African platform to land the interview. And with The Drama set to arrive in cinemas, this might just be the perfect way to get a feel for what’s coming. So grab your popcorn and enjoy the show.

If you’re keen to catch all the moments, the laughs, and the behind-the-scenes energy, you can watch the full interview via the link here.

Kuhle Kooks turns the long weekend into a full-on breakdown, and it hits home, highlighting some relatable long weekend moments.

 

South Africa (02 April 2026) – If you’ve ever treated life like a full-on sporting event, then Kuhle Kooks is definitely your kind of commentator.

The content creator, known for turning everyday moments into hilarious pre- and post-match interviews, is back at it again. This time tackling the long-awaited Easter long weekend. And honestly, it’s the kind of analysis we didn’t know we needed.

In true fashion, the “pre-match interview” breaks down the long weekend. The different foods South African will be eating and what everyone will be getting up to.

Gone are the days when raisins did their job in the hot cross buns. Now, it’s all about the upgraded squad, and that’s the chocolate chip hot cross buns stepping in and completely taking over the starting lineup.

And that’s exactly why the video is hitting home. Social media users are loving the accuracy, with many seeing themselves backing up the new and upgraded flavour.

It’s this kind of humour that makes Kooks’ content stand out. Taking the most normal, everyday experiences and flipping them into something that feels like a press conference after a major match.

As the Easter weekend approaches, whether you’re team raisins or fully backing the chocolate upgrade, just know this is one debate that’s far from settled.

A light-hearted video of a “quick sniff” at the pump has social media users laughing and sharing their own fuel struggles.

 

South Africa (02 April 2026) – With fuel prices continuing to climb, South Africans are once again doing what they do best and finding humour in the struggle.

A hilarious video making the rounds on social media has perfectly captured the mood, thanks to content creator Kristy and a familiar face, petrol attendant Bheki. The skit, which was originally filmed a while back but recently reposted, still feels very much relatable. The video, first shared on TikTok back in 2022, where it racked up over a million views, has once again gone semi-viral after being reposted on Instagram. And it’s easy to see why.

In the clip, Kristy pulls up and asks for R300 worth of petrol, obviously nothing unusual there. But instead of filling up the tank, she leans in for a quick sniff and calls it a day. No fuel.

It’s funny, but it hits home. Especially for drivers who know that these days, even a small amount of petrol feels like a luxury.

Social media users didn’t hold back in the comments either, with many joining in on the joke. One user said

“You can’t even sniff petrol anymore, you can only look at it.”

Others shared how the video perfectly sums up their own reality at the pumps.

For Kristy, who is part of a passionate car community that depends heavily on fuel for events and weekend drives, the repost felt timely. And clearly, it struck a nerve.

While rising fuel costs remain a serious concern, moments like these show how humour continues to be a coping mechanism. It may not fill the tank, but it definitely makes the journey a little lighter.

Ten-year-old Kitana Inderpal will compete in Bangkok after standout performances at the national level, with support needed to make the journey possible.

 

Johannesburg, South Africa (02 April 2026) – A bright young learner from Johannesburg is set to take her talents to the global stage, and she’s making South Africa proud while doing it.

Ten-year-old Kitana Inderpal has been selected to represent the country at the AsiaRope International English Olympiad in Bangkok, Thailand, following an impressive run at the national level. Her results speak volumes: she achieved Gold status, placed third in the South African Olympiad national round, and secured second place in the AsiaRope national round.

Now, she’s preparing to compete against learners from across the world, with participants expected from between 10 and 20 countries. It’s a massive opportunity to test her academic skills and to gain international exposure and experience at a young age.

But Kitana’s achievements don’t stop in the classroom. She’s a well-rounded learner who continues to shine in different spaces. Her English work has already been featured in her school’s quarterly newsletter, and she was recognised as one of ten winners in the Yokico competition. On top of that, she also volunteers her time at a local veterinary practice.

This next step in her journey is a big one, but it does come with high costs. The total for the trip is estimated at around R75,000, covering flights, accommodation and competition-related expenses. While her family is fully behind her and committed to supporting her dream, they are reaching out for additional support to help make this opportunity a reality.

Every contribution, no matter the size, can help take Kitana one step closer to representing South Africa on an international stage.

The school’s “Caps with Heart” initiative is growing, and learners are encouraged to collect caps that will contribute towards providing wheelchairs.

 

Johannesburg, South Africa (02 April 2026) – At Alberton High School, a simple bottle cap is becoming a symbol of hope, unity, and real change.

The school has breathed new life into one of its most meaningful initiatives, turning everyday recycling into something truly impactful. Their bottle cap collection drive, which helps provide wheelchairs to those in need, has now taken on a new form a giant metal heart standing proudly outside the front office. This will make drop offs easier for those getting rid of bottle caps.

The heart tells a story. Every cap dropped inside represents a small act of kindness, a moment where learners come together for something bigger than themselves. It’s a reminder that even the smallest contributions can add up to something life-changing. With the support of Tilvis Engineering, who sponsored the installation, the initiative has grown into a visible and inspiring part of school life.

Learners are encouraged to get involved, collecting caps from home and bringing them to school, knowing that each one plays a role in helping someone regain mobility and independence.

The initiative is named Caps with Heart and it’s a growing legacy of community coming together. They’re building something that could change lives, one small piece at a time.
