Well done, @SwimSouthAfrica. Another world-class swimmer choosing to leave South Africa to pursue the career she deserves. And you’ve got athletes being asked to pay R55,000 just to represent their country. What an absolute disgrace. How many more athletes must we lose before somebody holds this federation and its board accountable?View quoted post on X
I’m not old enough to blame what happened on absent-mindedness … it was a hasty case of “running late for kick-off” - so we parked the Vespa as close as we could and high-tailed it to our Greenpoint Stadium seats for the Stormers-Sharks showdown yesterday.
At the 70th minute (game in hand) I started thinking about our exit and felt for my keys … nothing! I went cold - must’ve left them in the bike … couldn’t focus on the game after that so I rushed out hoping that by some miracle the bike would still be where I left it.
The bike WAS there, but where keys were - there was now a crumpled up note that simply said: “You left your keys in the motorcycle, call this number.”
Turns out the miracle has a name … Constable Langenhoven and his fellow metro police officers. They pitched up a few minutes later saying tut-tut with some shaking heads (that I fully deserved) but broad smiles and that little Vespa key that I had to describe in detail before reclaiming it.
Big thank you to CST Langenhoven (whose handwriting is at least more legible than mine) for the good deed. I asked for permission to take a pic and post the story … “on one condition” they all said: “That you tag JP Smith!” 😂👊
@JP Smith these guys deserve a shout out.View quoted post on X
