James Van Der Beek revealed his biggest parenting regret amid his cancer battle as she shared a new reflective social media post.
The actor celebrated his son Jeremiah in a tribute post uploaded via Instagram on Friday, October 10 to mark the child’s 4th birthday, while apologizing for not being a better father amid his health struggles.
“4 years old today. After 2 late-term losses, we thought we were done. Thank God you knew better,” James, 48, wrote alongside a carousel of photos of Jeremiah, including one where the child was perched atop the actor’s shoulders.
James paid tribute to Jeremiah’s lively personality in the heartfelt post.

“An iron will combined with an innate sweetness. And ALL boy. And as you run around and scream and bang things… all I can think about is how grateful I am that you came to us,” he wrote. “You’ve been particular from the jump. And as your language skills have finally caught up the specificity of your desires, what I’m seeing is a fun-loving, passionate soul who doesn’t think twice about speaking up for exactly what he wants. And for that example, I thank you.”
Continuing the post, the Dawson’s Creek alum then shared that he felt he hasn’t lived up to the standard of father that he believed his son deserved.
“I’m sorry there have been spells where I couldn’t be the father I would want to be for you… where I was too weak to pick you up, throw you around, or even put you to bed… but know that watching you reveal yourself to us has been one of the greatest joys of my life,” he added. “And even though you’re stingy with the hugs… when you do decide to wrap those thick little arms around my neck, it’s like time has stood still and all is right with the world.”
James concluded, “I love you, bubba. And I always will. And all you ever have to do is be you. Happy birthday, my ‘big little boy.’ ❤️”
Katie Holmes, who costarred alongside James in Dawson’s Creek in the 90s, reacted in the comments.
“Sooooooo sweet!!!!!!!” the actress, 46, wrote.
Jeremiah is the youngest of six kids who James shares with his wife Kimberly. The couple also share Olivia, 15, Joshua, 13, Annabel, 11, Emilia, 8 and Gwendolyn, 6. James and Kimberly have also been open in the past about suffering pregnancy losses in November 2019 and June 2020, which James referenced in the post.

In a video interview for the outlet, James touched on the effect his diagnosis has had on his kids.
“My kids have been so supportive and so loving and so tender,” he said. “And you hate to watch them have to grow up in that way but you watch them really put you first, which, as a father, is, like, heartwarming and also devastating.”

Taking to her Instagram Stories on Friday, October 10, the Duchess of Sussex, 44, shared a behind-the-scenes clip of the pair interacting backstage at the Project Healthy Minds’ World Mental Health Day Gala. The event was held on Thursday in New York City.
“Happy World Mental Health Day… to the man who always keeps me laughing,” Meghan wrote via the post.

Meghan and Harry made a rare joint public outing for the event, where they were honored with the organization’s Humanitarians of the Year Award.
“Working with families and young people to prioritize safety online has been some of the most meaningful work of our lives,” Harry and Meghan said in a joint statement last month of the prestigious honor. “As parents ourselves, we have been moved to action by the power of their stories and are honored to support them.”
They concluded, “We’re proud to be long-time partners of Project Healthy Minds as we work together to shine a light on what remains one of the most pressing issues of our time.”
Meghan and Harry’s relationship has been under the spotlight since they began dating in 2016 and subsequently announced their engagement the following year.
The former “Suits” actress first spoke about her romance with Harry in an interview with Vanity Fair in September 2017.
“We’re a couple. We’re in love,” she gushed to the magazine at the time. “I’m sure there will be a time when we will have to come forward and present ourselves and have stories to tell, but I hope what people will understand is that this is our time. This is for us. It’s part of what makes it so special, that it’s just ours. But we’re happy. Personally, I love a great love story.”
The couple, who met when they were introduced by a mutual friend, sat down for their first joint interview in November 2017 with BBC News.
In the interview, Harry revealed he popped the question to Meghan at Kensington Palace’s Nottingham Cottage in London.
Describing the moment as “romantic,” Meghan admitted the proposal was unexpected.
“It was just an amazing surprise. It was just so sweet and natural and very romantic,” she gushed. “He got on one knee. As a matter of fact, I could barely let [him] finish proposing. I was like, ‘Can I say ‘yes’ now?’”

The Rainmaker‘s Madison Iseman broke down how Sarah’s assault will have a lasting impact on her journey.
During an October episode of the USA Network series, Sarah continued to explore her connection with Brad (Wade Briggs) after her split from Rudy (Milo Callaghan). Things were going well until Brad started to choke Sarah during sex without her consent.
“It’s a very important moment in Sarah’s story. Finally [earlier in the episode], we see Sarah start to gather more information that she hasn’t had. Rudy has had a plethora of information. Sarah is being fed information from Rudy, being fed information from her law firm. At the same time she’s being manipulated and being told [in the workplace],” Iseman, 28, exclusively told Us Weekly. “She’s at a crossroads at this moment, where she starts to gain all this information.”
Sarah’s experience at work ultimately played a role in her personal life.

“With Brad, there’s a bit of a power play where she knows she’s a small fish woman in a male-led law firm. She knows her place and she knows what she needs to do to get on top. Some people might have an issue with that but I think she’s smart and she wants to win,” Iseman explained. “In the same way that Brad is playing her, she’s playing Brad a bit. In the beginning [at least] and then they start to help each other out. She starts to lean into it and starts to trust him — especially when Rudy starts to fall off and their relationship falls to shambles.”
She continued: “She finally falls under Brad’s spell after he’s giving her all the information that she’s asked for. But then there’s that one episode where he flips a switch and we see his true colors. At that moment, she knows enough information where she probably should leave the case and leave the law firm. But I think at that moment she knows if she goes then Brad wins.”
Ahead of the season finale, Iseman teased where Sarah goes from here.
“After this assault takes place, she’s not willing to let him win. Maybe there’s a world in the show where if this never happened — if Brad never assaulted Sarah — she would maybe go,” she noted. “She would maybe pick the high road and she would maybe say, ‘No, this is not for me.’ But because of the position Brad puts her in, she’s not willing to back down and not willing to let these toxic men win and so she’s going to pick the dark side and manipulate the manipulator.”
Based on John Grisham‘s 1995 novel of the same name, The Rainmaker follows young lawyer Rudy, who is fired from his prestigious white-collar firm and signs on with small-time ambulance chaser Bruiser. Rudy subsequently faces off against his former boss in court. The book was adapted into a movie by Francis Ford Coppola in 1997 starring Mickey Rourke and Matt Damon.

USA Network’s version of The Rainmaker features several changes from the book and movie — including more screen time devoted to characters including Sarah.
“When I first read for Sarah, I very much knew who she was in the beginning of the show. I felt very, very close to her. As I read episode to episode, I was just so impressed by the complexity of her character and what she goes through,” Iseman shared with Us. “It’s very interesting to tap into young women who make questionable decisions even though some people might disagree with a lot of the decisions that Sarah makes.”
She added: “As an actor, those are the stories that are more fun to tell. I like trying to find this young and innocent woman who’s so naive about life and the world of law and justice and where the corruption takes her and why she makes the decisions that she does. Even from episode 1. I was able to start spreading the seeds of why she does what she does.”
The Rainmaker airs on USA Network Fridays at 10 p.m. ET.

…..Public outrage grows as allegations of corruption surface amid ANC scrutiny
PRETORIA-(MaraviPost)-The Hawks have raided the house of Hangwane Maumela, the nephew of South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, in Sandton.
Hangwane Maumela is reported to have received a tender worth R350 million at Tembisa Hospital, raising questions about the award process.
The raid has sparked widespread reactions among citizens, many expressing anger over perceived corruption in government.
Some online commentators remarked, “Our votes make them billionaires of corruption,” highlighting frustration with the ANC’s governance.
Others pointed out the stark contrast between public hardship and the wealth allegedly enjoyed by a few, saying, “Wow, some people are living in paradise.”
Certain reactions, written in local languages, reflected disbelief and cynicism, including phrases like “E tlo fela mo moyeng o ka se direge selo” and “Bhedhere tronko,” expressing that justice may take time.
Some users added, “Tronk toe gaan,” a direct call for accountability and legal action against those involved.
The president himself famously denied knowing his nephew, a claim that continues to draw skepticism and social media humor, with users remarking, “Hehehe, South Africa.”
Other commentators referenced public figures with similar scandals, saying, “Neh Mkhwanazi o bakile sebokuboku,” noting that corruption allegations are widespread and not isolated.
The unfolding investigation by the Hawks is being closely watched, as South Africans demand transparency and accountability in the awarding of large government contracts.
The case underscores the broader challenges of governance, ethics, and public trust in the ANC-led administration, as citizens push for meaningful anti-corruption measures.

…..Analyst urges DPP to focus on real national challenges rather than political blame games
LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-Debate continues to intensify over reports of property damage at Kamuzu Palace following former President Lazarus Chakwera’s relocation from the State House.
While many Malawians are still expressing mixed reactions to the alleged destruction, political analyst George Chisoka has urged the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) not to dwell too much on the issue.
Speaking to various media outlets, Chisoka said government properties, such as official residences, can always be maintained or repaired when necessary.
He further pointed out that Malawi already has other official presidential residences, including Sanjika Palace, where President Peter Mutharika can currently reside if there are maintenance works being done at Kamuzu Palace.
“I believe the DPP should not overly politicize such issues,” Chisoka stated.
“Malawians are waiting for solutions to real problems, such as timely access to affordable fertilizer, quality education, and the provision of free meals for tertiary students,” he added.
Meanwhile, the Malawi Congress Party (MCP) has continued to reject allegations that its members were responsible for any damage at Kamuzu Palace.
The party insists that former President Chakwera left the residence in perfect condition when he vacated it.
MCP senior member Baba Steven Malondera has accused the DPP of exaggerating the situation, claiming the opposition is only trying to create unnecessary controversy as a means to justify public spending on the State House renovations.
Furthermore, the MCP, through a letter signed by its spokesperson Jessie Kabwila, has demanded that the Times Group newspaper issue an apology to the party.
The letter claims that the media house published “false and misleading information” regarding the alleged destruction at Kamuzu Palace.
As tensions rise, the issue continues to dominate public discourse, highlighting the fragile intersection between politics, accountability, and national priorities in Malawi’s governance landscape.

Sports analysts in both South Africa and Malawi have applauded his turnaround, suggesting that Mhango’s discipline could extend his playing career and open doors for future leadership roles in football.

In the vibrant landscape of Malawi’s political garden, the Mutharika family has tended a unique and flourishing branch — the appointment of female vice presidents, a practice that seems to have blossomed into a secret formula for the Democratic Progressive Party’s (DPP) electoral triumphs.
Like a river carving its way through the rugged terrain, this tradition of elevating women to such pivotal roles flows steadily, shaping the contours of Malawi’s political destiny in ways both subtle and profound.
The first seed in this garden was planted by the late Bingu wa Mutharika with the appointment of Joyce Banda as vice president.
At a time when the political soil was often rocky and resistant to change, this act was akin to planting a rare, resilient flower that defied the harsh winds of convention.
Joyce Banda, a woman of strength and vision, grew into her role with a grace that inspired many, her presence signaling a fresh breeze of inclusivity sweeping through the corridors of power.
This was not merely a political appointment; it was a declaration, a vibrant brushstroke on the canvas of Malawi’s democracy, painting a future where leadership was not confined by gender.
The metaphor of a garden continues as Peter Mutharika, following in his predecessor’s footsteps, appointed Jane Ansah as vice president.
This act was like nurturing a sapling in fertile ground, a gesture that reaffirmed the family’s commitment to gender inclusivity and leadership diversity.
Jane Ansah, with her firm resolve and dignified presence, stood as a beacon, much like a lighthouse guiding ships through turbulent seas. Her appointment illuminated the path towards a more balanced and representative political structure, one where the voices of women were not just heard but amplified.
This tradition of appointing female vice presidents by the Mutharikas can be seen as a powerful current in Malawi’s political river, shaping the landscape by carving out new channels of opportunity and representation.
It is a secret formula, indeed, but not one hidden in the shadows; rather, it is a carefully cultivated garden that invites all to witness and partake.
The DPP’s landslide victories, in this light, are not merely the result of political strategy or campaign rhetoric but are deeply rooted in this symbolic and substantive act of inclusion.
The political arena, often compared to a battlefield, here becomes a stage where the Mutharika family’s choices introduce a dance of progress and tradition.
The appointment of female vice presidents is like weaving golden threads into the fabric of governance, creating a tapestry that is richer, more vibrant, and more reflective of the nation’s diverse tapestry.
It challenges the conventional narrative that leadership is a male dominion and instead celebrates the strength that comes from embracing all voices.
Moreover, this practice transcends mere symbolism. It plants seeds of hope in the hearts of young girls and women across the country, showing them that the highest echelons of power are not beyond their reach.
It is as if the Mutharikas have opened a window in a towering fortress, letting light flood in and reveal new horizons.
This act of empowerment is a gentle yet powerful wind that carries the fragrance of possibility far beyond the immediate political victories.
In the grand symphony of Malawi’s political journey, the inclusion of female vice presidents by the Mutharika family plays a melodious tune — one that resonates with themes of courage, progress, and unity.
It is a tune that drowns out the discordant notes of exclusion and inequality, replacing them with harmonies that celebrate the strength found in diversity.
The DPP’s electoral success is the applause that follows this performance, an acknowledgment by the electorate of the value embedded in this inclusive vision.
This approach also serves as a mirror reflecting the evolving societal values within Malawi.
Just as a river mirrors the changing skies above, the political landscape reflects the growing recognition of women’s roles not just as supporters but as leaders.
The Mutharikas, by appointing female vice presidents, have positioned themselves as architects of this reflection, shaping the image of governance in a way that aligns with the aspirations of a modern, forward-looking Malawi.
Furthermore, the metaphor of a garden is apt in illustrating the nurturing aspect of leadership.
The Mutharikas’ appointments are like the careful tending of soil, the watering of roots, and the providing of sunlight — essential elements that allow leadership to bloom in its fullest form.
This nurturing creates a fertile environment where ideas can grow, voices can rise, and the nation can flourish under the shade of inclusive governance.
It is also important to recognize the courage embedded in these appointments.
In a political climate where tradition can often be a thick forest, the decision to appoint female vice presidents is like cutting a new path through dense underbrush, forging a trail for others to follow.
This path is illuminated by the examples of Joyce Banda and Jane Ansah, who have not only held their positions with dignity but have also inspired a generation to believe in the power of representation.
The DPP’s landslide victories can thus be understood as the harvest reaped from this carefully cultivated garden of inclusivity.
These victories are not merely numerical triumphs but are symbolic of a deeper, more meaningful change within Malawi’s political soul.
They represent the electorate’s embrace of a leadership style that values diversity, inclusion, and the breaking of traditional barriers.
The Mutharika family’s unique tradition of appointing female vice presidents is much more than a political tactic; it is a poetic narrative woven into the fabric of Malawi’s democracy.
It is a garden where resilience and hope grow side by side, a river that shapes the land of political possibility, and a melody that sings of progress and unity.
This secret formula, enriched with metaphorical beauty and figurative depth, stands as a testament to the power of inclusive leadership — a power that has not only propelled the DPP to electoral success but also planted the seeds for a brighter, more equitable future for all Malawians.

BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-The Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) has fined the Equatorial Guinea Football Federation CHF 10,000 (approximately MK22 million) for failing to show up for their World Cup qualifying match against Malawi’s Flames last Thursday at the Bingu National Stadium in Lilongwe.
According to a statement released by FIFA, Equatorial Guinea breached competition regulations after their team failed to arrive in Malawi for the scheduled fixture.
As a result, the governing body has awarded Malawi a 3–0 victory, in line with international football rules that grant automatic points and goals to the team ready to play when the opponent defaults.
Reports indicate that the Equatorial Guinea squad refused to travel to Malawi following disagreements over the team’s travel arrangements.
Players reportedly objected to last-minute changes in the flight schedule after team officials altered their departure time from Thursday morning to the afternoon.
The players argued that the new schedule would have left them with little time to rest and prepare for the crucial qualifier.
Despite efforts by officials to resolve the standoff, the players maintained their stance, leading to the team’s failure to depart.
The incident sparked outrage among fans in Equatorial Guinea, who accused their football association of poor planning and lack of professionalism.
Meanwhile, the Football Association of Malawi (FAM) has welcomed FIFA’s decision, saying it reflects fairness and adherence to football governance standards.
“We are pleased with FIFA’s ruling. Malawi was ready to play, and all logistical arrangements were in place. This decision reinforces the importance of discipline and commitment in international football,” said a FAM(Gomezan Zakazaka).
Sports Enock Banda have described the fine as a warning to other nations about the consequences of poor coordination in international tournaments.
They noted that the ruling not only compensates Malawi but also protects the integrity of the World Cup qualifiers.
Equatorial Guinea now faces pressure to improve its administrative efficiency and restore player confidence as FIFA continues to monitor the situation.
The country could face stiffer sanctions if similar incidents occur in the future.
