@whereshammy87 @krassenstein I'm a white South African and I haven't noticed any 'carnage' against people like me. You clearly have been here and seen it for yourself - NOT. Please do enlighten me with statistics and facts, not bullshit hearsay.

[Janine Erasmus @Janera_]

@Corruption_SA is hiring! We're looking for a data analyst who will turn data into insight that will contribute towards meaningful societal change in the field of anti-corruption. Closing date for applications is 30 August 2024.

Free @fijnigeria reporter @Mazi_OJD, who's been in @PoliceNG custody since his May 1 abduction. Investigative journalism is not a crime.

@CityPowerJhb Kensington B has been out since 19h00 yesterday. Multiple faults logged. When is a team coming to investigate the cause?

[Janine Erasmus @Janera_]

@CityPowerJhb please update on CPWEB3861072 which was logged before 7h00 this morning. Previous complaint from last night was cancelled without resolution. Large part of Kensington B and nearby area without power for 23 hours now. Please can we have some information?

[Janine Erasmus @Janera_]

@CityPowerJhb My second ref is CPWEB3861072. Dangerous outage in Kensington B, cable lying on road, area without power since 19h00 last night. First fault report cancelled without any action taken. No team on site. Please update on situation, and escalate.

@CityPowerJhb @swtysecy Please may we have the update for Randburg outage that was promised within the hour, more than an hour ago?

[Janine Erasmus @Janera_]

@SongezoZibi Because people love to dictate to others how they think they should conduct their lives, based more often than not on their own beliefs and circumstances.

[Janine Erasmus @Janera_]

@CityPowerJhb CPWEB2967216 Thank you.

[Janine Erasmus @Janera_]

@CityPowerJhb Can we please have info on the outage in Ferndale area? Power has been off since 02h00. Is a team onsite, what is the problem, what is the estimated ETA?

[Janine Erasmus @Janera_]

@KhulaniQoma Dear Khulani, how does one express sympathy for such a profound loss? I pray that even in the depths of your grief you find comfort in memories of her 🌺

[Janine Erasmus @Janera_]

@CyrilRamaphosa Oh, please, sir. We know from the first sentence it's more of the same old promises. Such corruption is not difficult to understand at all, because there are no consequences, no prosecutions, no convictions. Everyone knows this except the government.

Thank you, Ambassador @DKAMBinSA for setting an admirable example! #IMarchFor

[Karin Poulsen @DKAMBinSA]

THIS IS WHY I MARCH ✊🏼
On my #roadtonairobi have a look at my #IMarchFor pledge. I challenge my Nordic colleagues @AmbassadorJulin @FinEmbPretoria and @NorAmbSA to join the march - raise awareness to #SRHR & #genderequality towards the #NairobiSummit and #ICPD25 Why do you march?

[Janine Erasmus @Janera_]

@Corruption_SA and @r2kcampaign succeed in their application to have the findings of the Seriti Commission set aside. #ArmsDeal #SeritiCommission

[Corruption Watch @Corruption_SA]

Mlambo hands down the judgment. Davis and Leeuw agree. Unanimous judgment.

Mystified by @JoburgMPD directing traffic exactly according to the (actually perfectly working) robot cycle. Is this not a waste of resources? Should these officers not rather be at intersections where the lights are not working? @AsktheChiefJMPD

[Janine Erasmus @Janera_]

@Big__Daddy__Vic @mphikzo Brilliantly expressed.

[Janine Erasmus @Janera_]

Seamless changes to the way the seven basic SI units are defined. The kilogram (kg), metre (m), second (s), ampere (A), kelvin (K), mole (mol) and candela (cd) are now defined by universal constants, such as the speed of light c for the metre. #SIUnits https://t.co/SsnHgjeIFS

Please, drivers, always give way for an ambulance - it costs you nothing and may well save someone's life. And don't tailgate in the hopes of skipping traffic-it's selfish and distracts the driver. #emergencyvehicle #EMS #GiveWaytoAmbos https://t.co/BQxO22ZoN8

[Janine Erasmus @Janera_]

This is huge! Could have happened years ago but better late than never, I guess. #independentpowerproducer #reusableenergy #GreenEnergy
