@LaScNo Yes! Venturing into a PhD on identity in higher education spaces in South Africa - strongly linked to legacies of colonialism and the perpetuation of power and status quo through universities.

@grrreer There is a new book, published Sept last year, called "Unsettling Apologies: critical writings on apology from South Africa" that might point to some of what you're looking for, or include additional refs? Haven't read it yet...

@tracyplayle This is my fantasy! I am so impressed. It looks incredible. Even more so knowing you did that with chronic fatigue. Wishing you many many wonderful trips :)

Through technology, awareness of unmet needs is quickly diffused and the many giving platforms are quickly tapped on to offer resources.

Join the keynote speaker, Ndidi Nwubeli, for the conversation on philanthropy and systems change.

The impact of rapidly changing technology on philanthropy and its operations has arguably been far greater in the last decade than it has been before. Join Stigmata Tenga as she moderates the discussion.

“We think that the government, if they believe in democracy, should be interested in having a robust civil society and a robust media committed to upholding the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.. It’s in that context that we supported the statement."

Great point @bheki_moyo! Log frames are ok for gathering info into a format, but to be of any value (even to funders) stories have to be pulled out and shared. Log frames bury impact stories unless translated and shared.

“We are used to log frames but storytelling is a great way of reporting impact” says @bheki_moyo | @capsi_za as he explains the importance of the KISIMA giving platform https://t.co/19ckb8l14l

Dear @SAEditorsForum @TheStar_news @eNCA @News24 @Newzroom405 @SABCNews @CapeTimesSA @TheCapeArgus plse do not cover the SONA red carpet arrivals.
It’s revolting & an insult to the suffering of the majority of South Africans.
To my followers: plse retweet if u hold this view.

@Vodacom Thanks for responding. It was a salesperson wanting to propose I change my contract package. Thanks.

[Philanthropy in SA @Philanthropisa]

Wow @vodacom - are your sales agents and/or affiliate companies always horribly rude? When I really politely say that I can't have a detailed conversation about my account package in an unsolicited mid-morning phone call? Whew, that was next level...

@UrbanLo A running published civil society scorecard across key performance factors, yes! I also wish you had the time 💫😁. It would be so great, to see comparatives - across parties, across years, across performance data!

[Lorenzo Davids @UrbanLo]

We need a Civil Society Scorecard on Municipal Governance. That they get rated on EVERY QUARTER. Like when we were in school. How many service requests they completed. How many things they fixed. Damn I wish I had the time. There are civil society bodies that can do it.
