Elsa Majimbo's South Africa throwback: laughs, love and a controversial crime joke
Kenyan-born TikTokker and content creator, Elsa Majimbo, ruffled some feathers recently after revealing the list of things she misses in South Africa, notably crime. The 24-year-old took to X on July 2 to share how much she loves Mzansi; however, netizens found her post rather insulting considering SA's crime rate. 'I miss living in South Africa so much. I miss groove, I miss watching people's phones get stolen in real time, I miss biltong and braai and Savanna. One of the best stages of my life,' the award-winning comedian said.

Faith Kipyegon breaks previous mile time: 'I will not lose hope, I will still go for it'
Long-distance runner Faith Kipyegon may not have broken the sub-four-minute mile goal she set for herself this week, but she still made history shaving off more than a second from her previous world record, with a time of four minutes and six seconds -- the fastest mile ever run by a woman. Kipyegon finished her attempt with an official time of 4:06.42 on Thursday. "I was coming here to try to be the fastest woman -- it's only a matter of time, and I think it will come our way," the Kenyan-born runner said after finishing her run. "I will not lose hope. I will still go for it. I hope I will get it one day." The 31-year-old attempted the milestone feat Thursday night at Stade Sébastien Charléty, a multi-purpose stadium in Paris and the site of her 1,500-meter and since-broken 5,000-meter world records. Kipyegon looked confident and relaxed, wearing specialty engineered gear from Nike -- her partner of 16 years -- during the moonshot event, dubbed Breaking4. The four-time World champion and three-time Olympic gold medalist previously set the world record of 4:07.6 in Monaco in July 2023. Because this was technically an exhibition, Kipyegon's new time isn't eligible for the record and won't be recorded in the history books just yet.
