  • Congratulations to both of them! Well-deserved, too. I appreciate the fact that both of them also do charity work. It’s important for the fortunate to remember the less fortunate.

    Motsepe you’ve done well. It’s good to acknowledge when one is honest just the same way we speak when it doesn’t seems right. Women coach of the year was well deserved by Ellis but Reynolds of Morocco his also a strong contender and I love his Philosophy.
