My aunt had a heart attack and died at 59 years old. My dad turned 60 this year. He has now outlived his big sister. Nobody in their family before her died of natural causes younger than 75, and she didn't even make it to 60. Her son found her and tried CPR but she DIED.

Fort Hare’s cattle projects were supposed to help Eastern Cape farmers. Instead they are a lesson in bad governance
Forensic reports uncover arithmetical errors, unaccounted-for assets and absent oversight, probably resulting in the loss of tens of millions of rands for the university

It should be noted that since Twitter accidently outed their most profitable "Murican" users as foreign provocateurs, they have since rolled back the feature that doxxed them and are "improving" it to protect the location of their paid accounts.
