Well done to the Proteas Women team 🇿🇦 on their excellent ODI World Cup run. Beaten in the final but fought gallantly until the end. Great talent coming through for the next time.

Visited Red Cross Children's Hospital today for a tour of their Burns Unit. Was pleased to a full tour of the whole hospital - an excellent specialised public facility for children mostly from impoverished backgrounds. Thanks to Ms Solomons. 🙏

West Coast National Park's Postberg section is open for this month and the flowers are fantastic to see. Also saw a snake, a mouse, a horse with zebra stripes on its back and lots of birds. The sea and lagoon views are amazing too.
