Would be good to know what the Judge meant by "Intelligence service". If a unit of a department of state is involved in intelligence gathering, even if its for taxes, what are they? If the Judge is correct, then the law has a huge gaping hole in it! #PublicProtector #RogueUnit

The UDM, Parliament, and South Africa has lost a decent, courteous, and good human being. Wish a few more Members of Parliament would be a little bit more decent as he was, and have more intergrity as he had.

Why is it that when families ingage in bulk buying, they are charged more, but when companies engage in bulk buying, they are charged less? Is Eskom not in the business of selling more electricity and not less? Or are we being encouraged to go off grid? #eskom

[Eskom Hld SOC Ltd @Eskom_SA]

Prepaid pricing is based on usage/consumption rate. The more you use in a month, the higher your cost. For information about how "Prepaid electricity" works, and "Inclining block tariffs", click https://t.co/lRVHqFvrPY

For a minute I thought Mehdi was talking about some third-world country! On the other hand, maybe he is! #AmericanElections2020 @mehdirhasan

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Election officials are saying they fear for their lives.

The president's son is calling for "total war."

The president's former top adviser is calling for the beheading of the FBI chief.

But yeah, those of us who talk of authoritarianism & fascism, we're the alarmists, right?

[Matsepane Morare @MatsepaneMorare]

I agree, unnecessary and quite deadly as well.

@MatsepaneMorare Flip, too much drama

[Matsepane Morare @MatsepaneMorare]

Basically, he was running alone. The opposition boycotted the vote. Ex-President Henri Konan Bedie and ex-Prime Minister Pascal Affi N’Guessan argued that Outtarra should not have run for 3rd term.

[Thabo @Doctbo]

@MatsepaneMorare Was he the only candidate running 😂

RW Johnson says "Yet Professor Adebajo is a Nigerian and this is not Nigerian behaviour at all". & "Instead of learning our bad habits we need people like Professor Adebajo to be more Nigerian". Really? In 2020, do people still say things like these? #Xenophobia #colonialthinking

[Politicsweb @Politicsweb]

OPINION: Face up to ANC failure. RW Johnson says at a time of national crisis too many intellectuals are peddling racial diversions.
