@CityPowerJhb @CityPowerJhb Is there any update on this outage? It’s been almost seven hours.

@tymebankza How can an instant payment scheduled for Friday, 26 July still not have been made by today, 31 July? The money is in neither the sender's nor the recipient's account. So where is it?

The bakeries have decided to not bake bread for a day because they want you to appreciate bread so much that you would happily pay for it 😎

@CityPowerJhb This is now the third day in a row of unscheduled power outages in Westdene and surrounding areas. What is going on?

[Kevin O'Grady @Evergleamy]

@CapitecBankSA The transfer was done on the morning of Thursday, 1 February. Is this still your response?

[Kevin O'Grady @Evergleamy]

@CapitecBankSA How can a transfer from you to a Nedbank current account take four business days (or more)? That’s how long I’ve been waiting and it’s still not through. Your call centre staff are nowhere near in a position to help either.

[Kevin O'Grady @Evergleamy]

@CapitecBankSA As I said, it’s now 4 working days so saying it takes 2-3 working days is not a valid response. Nedbank has no issue receiving funds in good time from other banks.

Fun fact: Mr Zuma was found guilty of the crime of contempt of court and sentenced to 15 months imprisonment. On an ordinary reading of section 47 of the Constitution, he would therefore not be eligible to stand for election to the National Assembly.

Namibia rejects Germany’s Support of the Genocidal Intent of the Racist Israeli State against Innocent Civilians in Gaza

On Namibian soil, #Germany committed the first genocide of the 20th century in 1904-1908, in which tens of thousands of innocent Namibians died in the most inhumane and brutal conditions. The German Government is yet to fully atone for the genocide it committed on Namibian soil. Therefore, in light of Germany’s inability to draw lessons from its horrific history, President @hagegeingob expresses deep concern with the shocking decision communicated by the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany yesterday, 12 January 2024, in which it rejected the morally upright indictment brought forward by South Africa before the #InternationalCourtofJustice that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in #Gaza.

Worryingly, ignoring the violent deaths of over 23 000 Palestinians in Gaza and various United Nations reports disturbingly highlighting the internal displacement of 85% of civilians in Gaza amid acute shortages of food and essential services, the German Government has chosen to defend in the International Court of Justice the genocidal and gruesome acts of the Israeli Government against innocent civilians in Gaza and the Occupied Palestinian Territories.

Germany cannot morally express commitment to the United Nations Convention against genocide, including atonement for the genocide in Namibia, whilst supporting the equivalent of a holocaust and genocide in Gaza. Various international organizations, such as Human Rights Watch have chillingly concluded that Israel is committing war crimes in Gaza.

President Geingob reiterates his call made on 31 December 2023, “No peace-loving human being can ignore the carnage waged against Palestinians in Gaza”. In that vein, President Geingob appeals to the German Government to reconsider its untimely decision to intervene as a third-party in defence and support of the genocidal acts of Israel before the International Court of Justice.

Namibia (and Romania) are getting stick about the scores against them.

But add some context.

Forget populations etc.

The amount of top Tests they had pre-WC were minimal and in some cases for tier 2 sides non existent.

#NAM played the Bulls!

Tonga, for example, couldn’t get a Test organised after their games against Canada and had a month off before their opening game against Ireland.

Then Namibia play all their #RWC2023 pool fixtures in a 17 day period, France in 28!

Ireland have 14 days between SA and Scotland.

The blowout scores aren’t a great look at all but some context is needed.

@CityPowerJhb Why is the power not back on after load shedding in Block 7?

@CityPowerJhb Is there an outage covering Westdene, Melville and potentially other areas that is being addressed?
