I’d really appreciate any feedback. Thank you. 🙏🏽

Dear Min. @RonaldLamola and @ClaysonMonyela 🙏🏽 this week, South African citizens lost visa free travel to Ireland. I was wondering if DIRCO has a plan to help address increasingly expensive and laborious visa restrictions for RSA citizens?

[Michael Cloete @Mikey_Spike]

I was really hoping you could please provide some clarity as to whether DIRCO considers this a priority and how they plan to address this to help prevent us from having to endure this sort of treatment to travel?

@CityPowerJhb can you please turn the power back on for Block 9. This is ridiculous

[Michael Cloete @Mikey_Spike]

The fault was rereported early this morning. Please escalate asap

[Michael Cloete @Mikey_Spike]

@CityPowerJhb CPWEB4136822 Please note that the issue in Orchards and Houghton Estate is currently serious and is not resolved. We have fluctuating voltage causing all appliances and lights etc, to constantly flicker on and off on the block. Please, can you dispatch somebody.

@CityPowerJhb How can city power in South Africa’s largest city put out a statement like this with no plan attached? @eNCA @Radio702 @ewnupdates @SABCNews @Action4SA @Our_DA @GautengANC @jacarandafm @JacaNews @Radio2000_ZA @News24 @SundayTimesZA @mailandguardian

[Michael Cloete @Mikey_Spike]

@CityPowerJhb It’s fine to post statistics like this, but you need to inform us what the plan to deal with 500+ outages is? Will extra teams be called in? Are residents expected to wait for days for the backlog to be cleared? A contingency plan should be in place for massive outage?

[Michael Cloete @Mikey_Spike]

@CityPowerJhb I have also escalated this matter to the inner city manager Mr Tladi regarding the turn around time for smaller fault queries.

[Michael Cloete @Mikey_Spike]

@CityPowerJhb we have had no power on our block in Houghton estate since power went out at 6am and never returned after load shedding. It’s been 9 hours with no power. Call was logged but no updates given - CPWEB4136083. Please can you give this urgent attention.

[Michael Cloete @Mikey_Spike]

@CityPowerJhb @MrCasey_C It’s likely the same block as we are on. Please @CityPowerJhb, you’ve left us without power for 9 hours with two different faults logged. CPWEB4136083. Can you please send a technician. It’s not the whole suburb that is off

@TrafficSA A heads up for Joburg motorists travelling the M1S just after the 1st avenue on-ramp. Yesterday, my tyre was cut open by something on the road in the vicinity between 1st avenue and St Andrew’s road off-ramp. Seen 2 other cars yesterday and today with the same.

Ever wonder why amphotericin B can cause severe infusion reactions, including chills/rigors + hypotension?

These infusion reactions are so awful that it carries the nickname "amphoterrible".

Why does this happen? The answer is mind-blowing.
