@Xandra_KH @FairyWaters If he didn't do a formal entry and exit inspection with you present, and can't produce invoices for repairs, he can't keep your deposit. Please go to the rental tribunal!! Landlords get away with so much nonsense!

@AdamCSharp Afrikaans-speaking South Africans also have a Tandmuis - tooth mouse! My mom used to draw little mouse footprints in flour to keep up the illusion.

@MissPotatotron Cannot do things, must lie on floor and gaze adoringly at cat

@WheelsnToys Congrats to you both! What is she studying?

@dansmywholename The number of times the word "voluntary" appears in this statement suggests otherwise 👀

People are excited about that "mall" in Observatory built on the land of the first colonial bloodshed and resistance. The land is sacred and should be treated as such.

Go read up. Here's one to get you going:

@Cfa89 Have you seen the pics of the atrocious Salt River "history" posters inside? Dying to know who the consultants were on that one 😬

@Xandra_KH Try Simba from Pastry by Simba - his cakes are delicious and homemade, he charged me R14 a cupcake for a recent order. (Underpriced actually for the quality!) Also an all round lovely human worth supporting! WhatsApp [phone].

@DanCorderOnAir Nazeer Sonday from the PHA

@naledimashishi You can 100% do this, and you should! Completely normal and appropriate. It's a good idea to have a potential supervisor in your corner before applying, especially if you need to apply for funding etc.

@llmunro Dochub is my go to.

This strain is bad. My mom is in ICU right now fighting for her life, nightmare 2020 flashbacks. No vaccines available in SA. Please take care, mask up, treat every "weird cold" seriously. You might be fine but the next elderly immunocompromised person you breathe on won't be.

Just on the phone to someone who tested positive for Covid this morning and they say "actually, I'm feeling great, I'm sweating lots and I was really tired, but now I'm just feeling really happy and a little bit breathless but I don't care about anything any more..."

Yes. I'm going round to drop off an oximeter. 😟

@NjabuloChipangu This sounds like a great book!

27 medical students from Gaza, Palestine have arrived in South Africa, Cape Town. They will will finish their studies here at UCT. #FreePalestine 🥹🇵🇸❤️

@KateFZA I think they think "cis" is a slur 🤦🏻‍♀️

[Naomi Roux @gnomeyroo]

@zilevandamme I love and support this vision... But I feel like Lesotho twitter is watching our coalition optimism like 🤭😬

[Naomi Roux @gnomeyroo]

@YesReallyAngel We are! Stay in the queue guys! Huge youth turnout warming my wizened little heart and making up for my aching back 💜

[Naomi Roux @gnomeyroo]

@Cfa89 Congrats!!!
