@Avis This is not happening at @Avis Downtown Cape Town. Frontline staff greatly under supported and so customers are not receiving efficient service. Managers nowhere to be seen.

[Adrienne Watson @adriennePwatson]

@Avis I am not setting this. Nearly 40 minutes now. Poor trainee keeps having to take another colleague away from her customers to help her.

[Adrienne Watson @adriennePwatson]

@Avis Senior Leadership needs to step in to up the branch’s game substantially. Not a good look for tourists either.

[Adrienne Watson @adriennePwatson]

@Avis been here at Avis Cape Town downtown for half an hour trying to pick up prebooked car for 830. Not ready. What I’m seeing is a branch without proper management: trainee trying her best; colleagues trying to help; ancient ineffectual ICT and merchant payment. General chaos.

[Adrienne Watson @adriennePwatson]

@Avis No manager on floor engaging with customers or assisting his staff. Saw him swan in and out briefly in his holiday shirt. Shocking abrogation of ‘servant leader’ motto on wall. I have had this experience last time I booked through this branch.

@Clicks_SA I’m sad to say your service is hopelessly slow; your online architecture user unfriendly and annoyingly slow to navigate; your overall communication is inadequate and your in-store personnel apathetic and unhelpful. You need to up your online game.

@CityPowerJhb any news on why Ferndale 14 is still without power?

@ThePhDPlace Thinking you will have ‘arrived once you complete it.

@teachergoals Definitely

@elonmusk Including you?

@tombennett71 And so what’s wrong with metalwork? Many countries have a dire shortage of skilled artisans. It’s elitist and narrow to think most people should be pursuing academia

@AdHabb Yes to positive disruption

[Adam Habib @AdHabb]

12. SA is in a dangerous moment. Our choices are horrendous & we presently have the most avarice pol. leaders across all generations.Bolsanaros’s Brazil or Modi’s India are not unrealistic scenarios for SA.We are in desperate need for a positive disruption of our pol. system.

[Adam Habib @AdHabb]

11. Our choice in this historical moment is either no energy or privatised energy provision.This is the real world choice we are confronted with and under these circumstances I would support privatised energy.Those who oppose this refuse to acknowledge our present predicament.

[Adam Habib @AdHabb]

10. Yet we are not in this situation. The ANC under Zuma, and frankly even before and after him, has destroyed the administrative capacities of the SOEs and the state through cadre deployment and non-meritocratic transformation.This has compromised the delivery of basic services.
