Can anyone really, truthfully say that this trailer doesn't get them just a little bit excited about picking up with Maverick? https://t.co/2ngoUcgasK via @YouTube

Batohi estimates R1.4 trillion stolen in state capture. How much is 1.4 trillion ? If a rand was a second, a million rand would be 12.5 days. A billion would be about 31 years, and a 1.4 trillion would be 40 THOUSAND YEARS. Try to get your arms around that. It is a WTF number.

@justinright1 @turing_1991 @MaxduPreez Maybe read around the issue first. Studies show that learning foundation concepts in a non-mother tongue is infinitely harder. In an ideal world (like Scandinavian countries 🤔), your best, most qualified, highest paid teachers should be in grades 1-3.

I've been following this choir's progress for a while and then this. So so proud of them! @ChoirAfrica https://t.co/zAlFaErY2u via @YouTube

The best explanation of white privilege I've seen. It's going viral for good reason. https://t.co/wvA5ugaA8I

Can't say I'm not excited about Frozen 2 arriving this year, especially as Elsa seems to have abandoned her high heels for superhero leggings! https://t.co/GolOgQ0ek3 via @YouTube

Incredible courage at 97, to climb back into a bomber and jump into Normandy carrying so much memory, still so much grief just below the surface. https://t.co/eNJuBHlOGI via @CNNTravel

Everyone, and I mean everyone, has something to offer if we'd only give those on the fringes a chance to be heard. Kodi Lee earns the first golden buzzer on 'AGT' @CNNI https://t.co/JXmsxycPii

@SimonPGrindrod Born in 1976, as 176 kids were killed in Soweto. Enjoyed excellent white gvt schools. My mother didn't have to work. My father came home every night and could stand surety for a student loan. Of course that was #WhitePrivilege. Enough of white-blindness!

Thanks to @FranLitFest and @PenguinBooksSA for the invitation to Franschhoek 2019. Loved the people, the books, the town, the vibe. Hope to be back.

Guys like these voted Trump in because of his America First rhetoric. Now trade wars and climate change are biting them big time. Seems to me, from way over the sea, that there's only one way to solve your problems, get rid of him in 2020. https://t.co/gKRaLMzOw2

Indeed not voting is also voting. How else do you explain the fact that the (about) 10m that didn't vote are taking the central state in our national discourse? Their abstansion shows a worrying lack of confidence in our political system, etc, and that's a strong message to SA.

[Clare Houston @clarehouston123]

Something to ponder on voting day in SA
