Very excited to have signed a book contract with @routledgebooks for my first monograph, provisionally entitled 'Dangerous Technologies: Crime and Digital Divides in (South) Africa'. The book explores why digital technologies have featured at the heart of S.A.'s crime crisis.

@mahla_letso @Abramjee Exactly at an import/export business. Most stolen phones are exported out of SA.

@Sinawo_Thambo I think SAn politics has entered a phase similar to Mexico’s, during the era of the late ruthless drug cartel Pablo Escobar. When criminals didn’t just bribe or intimidate politicians but became part of politics itself, even gaining seats in Colombia’s Chamber of Representatives.

South Africa: Here’s evidence of a genocide.

[ICYMI] Political analyst Moeletsi Mbeki has called out South Africa's political elite, saying their focus on personal enrichment has been to the detriment of the poor. https://t.co/OLSO1uffoE

Syria has shown that Russia:

1. Extremely weak.
2. Has thrown all its resources at Ukraine.

This is a very important signal for everyone who has territorial or other conflicts with Russia. Take action.

@govanwhittles Yes people think it's a rosy town, but has a very sinister side to it, especially at night. Relatively well-off students are easy pickings. Skelmbos.

@RyanCoetzee The latest are Gayton's speeches "from the heart", making him 'presidential' all of a sudden. We love kakpraters too much.

Incredibly honored to receive the 2024 Doctoral Prize from Berliner Wissenschaftlichen Gesellschaft (BWG) & Erhard Höpfner Stiftung (EHS) for my dissertation "Sensing the Colonial Order of Things: Maasai Materialities and Ethnographic Museums". This recognition means a lot to me.

Despite Macpherson not naming any party, EFF MP Veronica Mente said: "The minister just insulted us. He said some parties are very close to construction mafias. You can't generalise on a statement like that. You are insulting us. He must withdraw that." https://t.co/83MEV3d9p6

@goolamv @PaulivW Unbelievably brave person. She's gone through hell to tell the truth.
