@CityofCT I hope so. We've been without power for more than 50 hours. Countless phone calls to Electricity Dept and third day of waiting at home not being able to go out. I am really fed up now.

What do I have to do to get a faulty pre-paid electricity meter fixed or replaced? 3 days of no electricity last week and going on for the same this week. Numerous calls to @CityofCT and still no one fm Electricity Dept, despite promises. @geordinhl

@zilevandamme That was beautiful.

Thank you @dailymaverick for a fascinating day at #thegathering2024. Great keynote speakers, and very interesting panel discussions. Thank you!

@EZRideryoyall @ferialhaffajee Absolutely beautiful - thank you for sharing!

[Deborah Torrington @dtorrington]

Thanks @WesternCapeGov for reopening #ClarenceDrive. Just been back and forth, and the one-way system works very well. Didn't stop for more than a minute at each of the six stops along the drive. Whew, but the road was badly damaged in the Heritage weekend storm.

Josh Paul resigned from the State Dept over sending arms to Israel. “I have heard from actually so many hundreds of colleagues at this point who support what I did,” he says. “They are finding what is happening both a moral disaster and a policy disaster for the United States.”

@thisisSJKing @CapeTalk So lovely to hear you on the radio this morning!

@mhdksafa Your post of 14 August, with its agonising picture, is one of the most powerful tweets I've ever read. It has stayed with me. Keep speaking the truth!

We have been clients of @Vodacom for more than thirty years. We will not be clients for much longer if this is the way you treat us. It borders on harassment, and I cannot imagine that what you are doing is in any way legal. 6/6

[Deborah Torrington @dtorrington]

Here is the @Vodacom masterclass in how to lose a client. We are trying for the second time in a month to cancel a contract upgrade that we didn't ask for or authorise. This is surely illegal and fraudulent? A thread 1/6 ...

[Deborah Torrington @dtorrington]

Trying to explain to one of your staff members that we want to cancel phones we didn't order and being told to "calm down" is not the way to make any client happy @Vodacom. I have every right to be VERY angry, and your staff should know how to speak to your clients. 5/6

@QasimRashid May I suggest the wonderful South African organisation @GiftoftheGivers? They are already on the ground in Turkiye and Syria with their disaster response teams.

Well done to my colleagues @Siyavula for your well-deserved win!

[Siyavula @Siyavula]

The @Siyavula team won this year's @IITPSA President's Award in the social responsibility category! Well done to our team! #EdTech #PresidentsAwards

[Deborah Torrington @dtorrington]

Well done, @Siyavula team!

[Mark Horner @marknewlyn]

The @Siyavula team looking smart at the @IITPSA awards breakfast this morning! Recognition for some really challenging work in schools over the last 3 years! #IITPSA #PresidentsAwards #EdTech #FTW

[Deborah Torrington @dtorrington]

@mbalimcdust Definitely not you. And it wasn't just the first few years. The good news is that I started doing a whole lot of NEW things once my kids were older. But enjoy this time for the moment - it goes so fast!
