@LyndaShacks Dear Lynda
We have a water outage in Kelvin Drive, Moningside (nos 126 & 128 at least) since this morning. Jhb Water confirmed that they were aware of it when I phoned 011 688 1699 at 10:04, and said to watch social media for updates, where there have been zero. Any update, pls?

@AsktheJ On Friday 12 July I reported a (probably) illegal billboard/hoarding to your radio room on 0800 002587. Thuli said someone would get back to me. I am still waiting, and the billboard is still there.

@zapiro @dailymaverick @flysaa @pravingordhan So expressive!

@RobertMulaudzi The news is full of claims about a "Jukskei River tragedy" where 14 people drowned when caught in a flash flood during a baptism. As I understand it, this was NOT in the Jukskei, but in the adjacent Sandspruit.
Could you please issue a correction to the media?

@DefenceHQ Strange "map".

[Rick Raubenheimer @RickRaubenheime]

@DefenceHQ Ministry, do you think you could always display the same map area with the same dimensions and scale, to make it easier to overlay each next day on the previous? As it is, it jumps from day to day, making comparisons difficult. Thanks.

So-called Uber "Support" (@Uber_Support) appears to be designed specifically to NOT support their customers! They do their best to misdirect one and avoid resolving issues. Punish them by NOT supporting Uber!

[Rick Raubenheimer @RickRaubenheime]

Uber's so-called "support" seems to be staffed by the greatest incompetents on the planet.
Does Uber send their support people on Customer Disappointment Training?
I find it difficult to believe they could achieve such consistency through natural lack of ability alone.

.@IDCSouthAfrica @DBSA_Bank Will you fund dirty #KarpowershipSA or cheaper renewables & local expertise? Time to support a #JustRecovery & fight #ClimateChange while fixing SA’s energy problems. #StopKarpowershipSA

[Rick Raubenheimer @RickRaubenheime]

.@GwedeMantashe1 South Africa needs clean energy, local investment and social justice. #KarpowershipSA gives us none of these. #StopKarpowershipSA #ClimateChange #JustTransition

@wernerbeest @HermanMashaba I have had my disagreements with Werner, but I acknowledge his integrity in taking that step.

[Rick Raubenheimer @RickRaubenheime]

@ThuliMadonsela3 Professor, you are known as a person of courage and honesty. Have the courage and honesty to examine your faith too. Based on faith, people believe in many religions: Not all can be true. Faith is not a good reason to regard something as true. Evidence is.

@andrew_anagnost Thank you for responding! We are in South Africa. Not in your league - cannot afford to fly to Europe or US! May we please email, phone, or video conference via Google Hangout?

@andrew_anagnost Dear Mr Anagost, are you aware that your loyal EMEA resellers are being driven to bankruptcy (or competing products) by reduction in commission to zero on almost all Autodesk products? Rick Raubenheimer, Director, Software Africa in Johannesburg, South Africa.

[Rick Raubenheimer @RickRaubenheime]

@andrew_anagnost Please, please, could we have clarity on the EMEA reseller issue? It is going to hurt Autodesk sales here as you lose your resellers. We love Autodesk products but we can't sell them for no profit! Please help!
Thanks and RICKgards, [email protected] Tel: [phone]

[Rick Raubenheimer @RickRaubenheime]

@andrew_anagnost Thank you for the response. We would appreciate an explanation and a greater understanding of what Autodesk has in mind –is it the intention to destroy small businesses and jobs in EMEA? We have repeatedly asked Jarek Olszewski and his staff and had no useful reply. Please help!

@bonglez Hi Bongani! I hear that you are an atheist? Care to address a Meetup of the SA Secular Society one weekend afternoon? No payment, just brief glory and the chance to meet other atheists, if you are interested? Thanks and RICKgards, Rick Raubenheimer, Vice-President, SASS
