Congratulations to our feature writer, @SeanChristieSA, nominated for his story "Anatomy of a hospital: Groote Schuur in a time of budget and staffing cuts".

We couldn't be more proud!

@ThiagoPere16375 @geoffreyyork Start with the acc of Clayson Monyela, who has tipped from valid contrarianism in respect of migration questions into snarky baiting postures that echo the childishness of the Israel/Iran embassy handles. Or try Jomo Sibiya, who is deeply invested in SM presentism on migration..

@geoffreyyork A most appalling dereliction of decency, to say nothing of duty and maturity

@nhanha_nd @Willie_mahatlan @MmusiMaimane Stupefying parochialism

@Olivia_LaGrange Influencers and your casual talk of captured organizations. If you were a serious person with real information you wouldn't be on here shouting in Caps.

This is what a compliant South African clothing factory looks like. Fair wages, safe conditions, skilled people doing skilled work.
We've been doing this in Newcastle, KZN for over 50 years. It's possible. We're the proof.

@AllwearSA Yes please!

[what the river knows @SeanChristieSA]

I have spent quite a bit of time examining the clothing sector here. It's a story in which nobody looks good.

@allerton_k43150 @BallouxFrancois A lot of white South Africans in the 70s and 80s saw the border wars and the low level internal war as a threat to their existence. Come the 90s all that was left of that fear was shame at the memory of the horrors it had enabled.

@dorong312470 @RediTlhabi @grok You obviously missed this https://t.co/6CSPSLpVGn

Of course the end is inevitable, but inevitability can be a big ball of yarn. The end of apartheid was also plainly inevitable by the late 80s but most diplomats thought it could/would go 15 more years.

Bravo Prof London. And viva Imtiaz Sooliman viva. Gift of the Givers is an extraordinary organization. The most reactive of all organizations working in the humanitarian space. And they stay long after the others have packed up.

@geordinhl When were you last in Ouga, mayor?

[what the river knows @SeanChristieSA]

Well done Coovadia and Robins. The original article, to which they respond (soberly, and with moral clarity) here, is appalling. https://t.co/yNij4oo9sL

@Mbulelo_Dlodlo @mailandguardian Clinicians talk broadly about drug sensitive TB (responds to standard treatment) and drug resistant TB, which is TB that resists standard drugs. There are 5 main types of drug resistance but main ones are multidrug resistant TB (MDR-TB) and extensively drug resistant tb (XDR-TB)
