“The decisions made by voters during the 2024 election will either seal SA’s doom by yielding an ANC-EFF coalition.

Or it will lead towards a better future by inaugurating a Pact government that can save SA.” - @jsteenhuisen

A matriculant I know just got 40 and 47 and 31 (math) and qualified for a university pass! I hate what this government does to our children, miseducate them and then mislead them. No, South Africa, we are better than this.

21 January 1902. Today is the 121st anniversary of British tenor, Leslie Webster Booth. Sadly missed but always remembered with love. Here is a recording of Oley Speaks' 'Sylvia', restored by Mike Taylor to mark the occasion. https://t.co/fCtqI77ZwN

@boothziegler @FionaFiction You might like this one. I hope someone else on Twitter will like it too!

[Fiona Compton @FionaFiction]

I certainly like this one! @jeanmcollen I wonder why nobody else likes it!

[Jean Campbell Collen @jeanmcollen]

@boothziegler, @FionaFiction You might enjoy Webster's New Year Broadcast from 1961!

Disgusting! SA sinks deeper into the quagmire with the resignation of Andre de Ruyter. @Our_DA

[Democratic Alliance @Our_DA]

“Was André de Ruyter’s axing the price Ramaphosa had to pay for the RET faction’s support to save himself from impeachment?

The one man standing between greedy cadres and fixing Eskom pushed out to appease the ANC.”

🚨 A ring-fenced State of Disaster must be declared on Eskom!

[Jean Campbell Collen @jeanmcollen]

I agree with you. I am very sorry that De Ruyter has resigned, although I don't blame him for doing so. I hope the grid is not about to collapse just in time for Christmas. @IanCameron23

[Ian Cameron @IanCameron23]

De Ruyter's resignation will only create further catastrophic consequences for Eskom. A good and capable man neutralized by corrupt politicians, criminals, socialist unions and cheap race-based politics. Oh wait, those 4 things summarize cabinet.

Stood in a short line at a popular bakery yesterday. When I reached the till point the cashier said: somebody has already paid your bill. I looked around. There was nobody. Grateful, feeling overwhelmed by the kindness of someone. A first. Thank you 🙏

[Fiona Compton @FionaFiction]

I quite agree with you. I dread to think what will happen to South Africa if any of those people take over. CR is the best of a poor lot. @RediTlhabi

[Redi Tlhabi @RediTlhabi]

Having said this, the hypocrisy of RET gang! Their champion was responsible for MANY violations. Reports& court cases! They spent years denouncing NUMEROUS reports & court judgments against Zuma. Even attacking institutions. Now they are disturbed by one report from a panel?

[Fiona Compton @FionaFiction]

I agree with you. Surely he realises how we are all on tenter-hooks waiting for him to act decisively. We all know who might succeed him in the ANC. Heaven help us then! @HermanMashaba

[Herman Mashaba @HermanMashaba]

Ramaphosa’s Silence is Deafening

He acts like an accused person trying not to incriminate himself, while prioritising the internal considerations of the ANC.

I wonder if he has considered the people of this country and the economy he supposedly leads.

[Jean Campbell Collen @jeanmcollen]

Life is too short so I'll post what I like and be damned! An all-male medley featuring Alfredo Campoli, Malcolm McEachern, Webster Booth, Rawicz and Landauer, and Harold Williams. https://t.co/Gn7c8mmwsj

@goodreads Ichabod by Barbara Goolden (published in 1945).

If President Ramaphosa steps down, expect state capture on steroids

Not planning on leaving Twitter and all the wonderful people here, but this account is now also on Instagram if you would like to follow there @A_AMilne 😊

We curl up and go to sleep... and Pooh, too, closes his eyes and nods his head, and follows us on tiptoe into the Forest. There, we have magic adventures; but when we wake up in the morning, they are gone before we can catch hold of them. ~A.A.Milne #thursdayvibes
