It was very convenient that the Cape Times published the article against Tim Noakes & Banting on a Thursday. It meant that when Wayne contacted him for the CCFm Rise and Shine show’s Friday “Tim Talk”, he could respond. So this is what went out at 7-40am this morning. Click below to listen…
Tim Noakes Responds to Cape Times
Today, his response only made page 8 of the Cape Times!
Also, the world is in desperate need of good news. I stumbled on this on FB today and thought I would share:
PI need to share this!
A young man has just gotten into the taxi and before even entering, he tells the driver that his fare is R2 short. The driver allows him to get in. While seated in the seat behind the driver, the young man thanks the driver. The driver asks him where he’s going and he says he’s going to his first ever job interview. He says he’s been applying for a job since he graduated from VUT and only got called for an interview yesterday. The driver told him to not pay the taxi fare entirely because he won’t have money to come back home. As we pay, the driver then gives this young man R10 and wishes him good luck for his job interview. He says to him:
“Ungaphel’umoya, mfanakithi. Ungafani nalabafana basekasi ababem’inyaope.” (Don’t give up, brother, and don’t become one of those young boys in the township who smoke nyaope).
I’m going to take this taxi’s number plate when I get off and write a letter to the community paper about this. If any of you should get into it, know that you’re being driven by a leader!
#Respect!

I just loved that. When I started reading the story, I thought it was going to turn out badly. I was so relieved it was a GOOD news story. The world needs more kindness in it.The wisdom from the Bible: Proverbs 11:17
A man who is kind benefits himself, but a cruel man hurts himself.
Boom! Be Kind!
Keep the smile going.
God bless you!
