@JHBWater @BigSighRSA @VanLee553 This is insane. We have had no water most of the day and you still throttle tonight? Please build more reservoirs. This is not even because of drought. Build some bloody infrastructure and plan better. Poor customer service. Or is the throttling a cover? No man.

[Darryn Williams @DarrynW2]

@JHBWater The million dollar question is what percentage of Jhb actually has water on a given day? Seems like a paltry amount given these constant interruptions

[Darryn Williams @DarrynW2]

@LyndaShacks What is going on with the infrastructure? Several repairs in relatively close proximity. Is this not maintaining infrastructure catching up with us or are the myriad repairs causing problems in other parts of the water network?

[Darryn Williams @DarrynW2]

@JHBWater Are you guys disguising incomplete repairs thinking that this excuse will piss people of less than heating something about welding give awry?

[Darryn Williams @DarrynW2]

@JHBWater I just drove past there and I don’t see a single soul working

[Darryn Williams @DarrynW2]

@JHBWater Why does it seem like 80% jhb has no water

[Darryn Williams @DarrynW2]

@JHBWater It seems like 80% of jhb has no water 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Darryn Williams @DarrynW2]

@naturekarimak @JHBWater They harp on demand as the causal factor but so much potable water is lost due to leakages. Infrastructure upgrades and maintenance weren’t prioritised. We settle for the bare minimum when the issue is so much bigger than just demand? Quietly normalising Watershedding.

[Darryn Williams @DarrynW2]

@JHBWater Living in an age of watershedding now and it’s just normal. Lord.

To A Patient Who Died By Suicide

@Brown_built @QaanitahHunter I didn’t understand that argument. S36 (2) states that rights can be limited by other provisions in the constitution and s36 deals with the limitations of rights. I guess they missed that part in the discussion on the hierarchy of the constitution.

@RomanCabanac @martinssempa Hmmm I’m not sure if the premise of your point is that homosexuality is an import from white culture. If so, there are countless articles discussing the idea that homophobia was imported with Christianity. Homosexuality wasn’t foreign to African culture.

@LoriGottlieb1 Isn’t part of psychotherapy exploring why the patient so readily allows themselves to be guilt-tripped? Why cave so readily? What sits beneath that? Is that not potentially the fubdamental problem rather than the framing of a response?

@DonSergio777NFT @elonmusk Amen. Elon doesn’t seem to get that

@DrMcFillin @DrMcFillin why did you become a therapist? Do you believe in the efficacy of psychotherapy?

[Darryn Williams @DarrynW2]

@Eskom_SA I’m starting to wonder if the planned/unplanned breakdown split is legit. Wonder if unplanned breakdowns are being added to planned maintenance for the sake of optics.

[Darryn Williams @DarrynW2]

@j0rdanmcr @DrMcFillin I 100% agree that he needs to elaborate. More often than not he comes across as sensationalist which doesn’t foster robust debate.

@TimesLIVE I would have liked a stronger source for the assertion that it’s majority illegal foreigners living in the buildings.
