Let's make this birthday one to remember.

69 years old (Born on July 25, 1955)

Happy Birthday, General Holomisa! Here's to South Africa’s very own political marathon runner—still standing strong after all these years. From skillfully navigating Transkei leadership since the late '80s, through spearheading change as co-founder of the United Democratic Movement, you've remained a consistently impactful voice.

Your tireless dedication—even when your golf swing surpasses parliamentary debates—is inspiring and commendable. May your speeches continue to spark lively conversations (and keep a few colleagues awake), and may you always retain that sharp wit that can disarm rivals without raising an eyebrow.

Cheers to longevity—in politics and life alike!
