A journey of gratitude and growth As we step into the festive season, marking the end of another year and the dawn of a new one, it’s a time for reflection and anticipation. This moment is particularly poignant at Twisted Toast Digital, as we look back on the world adapted to a new normal post-COVID-19.
The power of unity One of my favourite poems of all time is Welsh poet, Dylan Thomas’ “Do not go gentle into that good night.” While the poem is commonly interpreted as a son’s appeal to his ailing father to sustain his will to live, it has always resonated more profoundly with me, encapsulating the prevailing spirit of South Africans today. We’re a tenacious bunch and it is probably not too surprising that our desire to survive and thrive, no matter the adversity we face, is tattooed on our nation’s psyche. Which brings me to sport and more specifically rugby and our heroic Boks.
Align your brand with a cause that saves lives October marks the annual Breast Cancer Awareness Month (BCAM), a campaign that brings the realities of breast cancer to the forefront of public conversation. With pink ribbons symbolising the struggle, hope and resilience of countless women, this month is far more than just a superficial observance. While awareness is crucial, it’s only a piece of the puzzle in the fight against breast cancer — a condition that is unfortunately increasing among South African women and stands as one of the most common cancers amongst women across races and classes.
Why spring brings renewed optimism As the first sun of Spring Day stretches its golden arms across the horizon, there’s an undeniable feeling of rejuvenation in the air.

As we revel in this natural upturn, there is a unique power to this positivity that extends into thinking at Twisted Toast Digital.
The power of women As the winter sun casts a golden hue over South Africa’s vast landscapes this August, the nation pauses, and with heartfelt gratitude celebrates its most invaluable gems - its women. August marks Women’s Month in South Africa, with the pinnacle being Women’s Day next week on the 9th. A day not just of remembrance, but of celebration, recognition, and above all, immense respect for the countless roles that women play.
From the Drakensberg to the Swartland, this land is your land and this land is my land I’ve been privileged to have been able to visit two of our country’s most captivating destinations recently. First, my family and I visited one of my favourite places in the world, the Drakensberg. This magical mountain range occupies a truly special place in my heart.
