Sadly, after having combed your website (for 5 minutes, it was a quick comb but I'm very thorough), I can't find a person to call to resolve this very simple but now, admittedly, very blown out of proportion issue

Help me @TAKEALOT help Sofia. She's only three

Merry December

whether I had received one from you @TAKEALOT. I hadn't. Oh dear.

There was a new delivery date. Monday, 11 December. That isn't before Friday, 9 December and it is also ten days after 1 December.

This is not ideal, obviously.

🌞🔌 I'm thrilled to share that Growthpoint Properties and Etana Energy just made history by wheeling the first electrons through Cape Town's grid!

Congratulations to the pioneering private sector players and the City's team for making this possible 🙌

This plant is the reason why the CoCT can protect its residents from one level of loadshedding. When Eskom clients are on stage 2, City clients have NO loadshedding. Another R1.2 billion has just been invested in Steenbras to expand. A functional local govt that takes infrastructure investment & maintenance seriously.

describing women who clean and run a house, look after multiple children and source and prepare food for a spouse as “not working” is surely one of the most successful conspiracies of the 20th century

New theory.

Cyril is actually dead, killed by Nagini - Horcrux of Voldemort, who now occupies his rotting corpse. Voldemort, via Nagini, will now attempt global takeover.

It will be slow and inefficient and obviously ineffective, but we are used to that now.

📣 The rule of law wins, City of Cape Town welcomes the withdrawal of the #TaxiStrike.

“It bears noting that Santaco today accepted the same proposal that the City of Cape Town and the Western Cape Government originally put on the table last Friday,” said Cape Town mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis.

“The tragic implication is that all of the violence, the deplorable loss of life, and the damage to property and to our local economy – was for naught. Last Friday, everything agreed to today was on the table, when the strike was less than 24 hours old, and could have been stopped then.”

The details of the agreement are:

-Impoundments under the National Land Transportation Act (NLTA) will continue for vehicles driving without an operating license, or on the incorrect route, or without a driver’s license, or which are not roadworthy.

-We have agreed that the Taxi Task Team will further define a list, within 14 days, of additional major offences in terms of which vehicles will continue to be impounded in future. This will take the form of an Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) to guide enforcement staff on the exercise of the discretionary power provided for in the NLTA.

-Our focus in the task team will be to ensure that all traffic offences which impact on commuter safety remain as major offences. Road safety for commuters and other road users is a non-negotiable, a position the City has not budged on.

-The Task Team will similarly compile an agreed-upon list of minor offences, which do not have commuter safety implications, and which will not be impoundable. The City continues to believe it will be able to demonstrate to Santaco that we have already been following this distinction for some time.

Importantly, if Santaco believes that any of their taxis have been impounded for these minor offences, then they can produce the relevant impoundment notices and the City will then make representations to the Public Prosecutor to support the release of these vehicles.

We have also made two important improvements for the future.

-Santaco has agreed that never again will they call a strike during the middle of a working day, and that they will always give at least 36 hours’ notice ahead of planned strike action. We should never again see a repeat of thousands of people being forced to walk home.

-Secondly, before calling strike action, the Task Team will now have a dispute escalation and resolution clause, to escalate disputes directly to the Premier and Mayor before a strike action will be considered

The entire agreement is subject to there being no future resumption of taxi-related violence. Any resumption of taxi violence will nullify the agreement.

We hope this sends a clear message to South Africa: violence will get us nowhere. Laws can only be changed through democratic processes.

“While I deplore the impact of this entirely unnecessary strike, Cape Town has set an important precedent for South Africa’s future. By steadfastly refusing to capitulate before violence and anarchy, Cape Town has not conceded an inch on our commitment to the rule of law,” says Hill-Lewis.

“The message is clear: in Cape Town, the laws of this country apply equally to everyone and violence will not extract concessions from this government.”

“My thoughts are with our communities who bore the brunt of this and I want to assure them that we will continue to fight for the safety of them and their loved ones as they travel around our city.”

You guys, please don't tell me about your "technical glitches" anymore. Just ask @CheckersSA because they literally always get it right.

[Quite Interesting @qikipedia]

In ancient Rome, when the citizens became unhappy with their city’s governance, they would all simply leave. Since the politicians required citizens to keep the city running, they were forced to give into demands. According to historians, this happened at least five times.
