Irresistible Allure Leading To Destruction
All consuming social media, a bugbear in too many lives, thief of time filled with lies, quick perusal on X details much is fake. Hive is the only other source for some form of sharing and getting to know people on an equal footing, stopping to read what is of interest.
Local news I source from YouTube where I do follow a couple of accounts I have found to be reliable, podcasts with information using referenced links to check original source linked. News as we once had most definitely a lost art in investigative journalism offering some clarity,

For a plant in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN), South Africa, with "clover-like" leaves and purple or lilac flowers that is also described as a weed, it is most likely either a species of Oxalis or an indigenous Trifolium species.
