The @CityofCT’s electricity services continue to be impacted in areas in the metro south/south east, including Gugulethu, Mitchells Plain, Mfuleni & Hout Bay. Several depots are closed due to the #TaxiStrike & associated violence. Deployment of teams will be on emergency basis.

May the example of so many doctors and healthcare workers who have risked their life to the point of losing it due to the #pandemic move us to feeling truly grateful for how generously, and sometimes heroically, they carry out their profession.

Kindness frees us from the cruelty that at times infects human relationships, from the anxiety that prevents us from thinking of others, from the frantic flurry of activity that forgets that others also have a right to be happy. #FratelliTutti

[City of Cape Town @CityofCT]

We are currently experiencing a high volume of service requests across the metro. This is due to the strong wind that is causing damage and faults.

We thank our customers for their patience while we do our best to attend to the requests as soon as possible.

#SaintThereseOfLisieux invites us to practise the little way of love, not to let the possibility of offering a smile to slip by, or any small gesture that sows peace and friendship. #SeasonOfCreation

The current pandemic has highlighted our interdependence: we are all linked to each other, for better or for worse. Therefore, to come out of this crisis better than before, we have to do so together, all of us, in solidarity. #GeneralAudience

BREAKING: Supreme Court of Appeal has GRANTED @fita_sa leave to appeal the dismissal of its challenge to the cigarette sales ban.
This after the Pretoria High Court refused leave, on basis the case did not have reasonable prospects of success.
This is big.

The coronavirus is not the only disease to be fought, but rather, the pandemic has shed light on broader social ills. One of these is a distorted view of the person, a perspective that ignores the dignity and relational character of the person. #GeneralAudience

[Gareth van Onselen @GvanOnselen]

Man who defamed and denigrated the public protector for her investigation into Nkandla, and defended Zuma’s role in turn, put in charge of financial oversight of water board. Good way to start new ethical clamp down on corruption ANC, well done. https://t.co/M63EXFv7Kq

[Marian Shinn @ShinnMarian]

Forget about another commission. Corruption is a crime. We know who the perps are. Law enforcement must investigate and prosecute. There must be punishment for the guilty. Mouthing remorse is ineffective in stopping criminal entitlement. Nail them and jail them.

I want to thank our team for the work done on the Ottery Road Rehabilitation Project. I am sure that road users in the Philippi area will agree - this is a job well done! #OneCityTogether
