Who is the wildfire shapeshifter who learned early how to play a part, then outgrew the script in front of the entire world; a voice that can crack like desert heat or curl soft as confession, a figure who swings from neon rebellion to barefoot vulnerability without ever pausing to ask permission? Not merely a pop star, not merely a former character, not merely a headline; but ...

Quick question: have you ever felt safer on a plane than in Joburg traffic… and then a story like this makes you rethink everything? Because in New York, a passenger jet hit a fire truck on the runway at LaGuardia; and it’s the kind of accident that makes you realise: flying isn’t just about the sky.

A look back on what happened on this day in history.

Some see a gymnast with a saviour complex. Others see a lab kid who took one bad day too personally. A third camp hears the wisecracks first and assumes he’s coping through comedy. All three are right, and still only touching the webbing.

Wayne Rooney called the 2010 FIFA World Cup the worst in history. His comments on vuvuzelas, the Jabulani ball, and local facilities spark strong opinions. The conversation reflects on how people can criticise their own country, but feel defensive when outsiders do.
