@Leon_Schreib @Leon_Schreib practice on the ground contradicts this. In 2024, my 16 year old daughter, a South African citizen by birth, was turned away by @HomeAffairsSA in Wynberg and to apply for a green barcoded ID book in Belleville. Lost two days of school as a result.

@BusinessTechSA Waiting for
@Leon_Schreib
and
@HomeAffairsSA
to tell us when permanent residents will be able to replace their green ID books? Or my 16 year old (a SA citizen) who was forced to get apply for a green ID book last month...

You think you want more Mbit/s, but what you really want is lower latency

@c4talyst You see this in protests all the time. It has been a hallmark of university protests for years. I didn't understand it either, until I realised what happens with a contempt charge.

@GrahamBeneke @woodyatpch I'll see if I've got a backup of its webpage floating about :)

It is official! @eduroam is now available in all @AirportsZA airports in South Africa. This means free Internet for staff and students of most universities and research institutions: https://t.co/EvbL9f7RSF #love2eduroam

Did @TwitterEng forget they had HTST public key pins in Chrome, Edge & Firefox? The certificate they're currently presenting me (https://t.co/Fc52EJJrfn) produces pinning errors in all three, meaning I cannot log in. @TwitterSupport

@HomeAffairsSA One of the eHomeAffairs booking problems is because of a rookie code error in a javascript library. That it got past QA & CI means we should be very worried about @HomeAffairsSA's IT systems. It's not been noticed and hot-fixed in months. Has the web server been patched? 😳

[Guy Halse @GuyHalse]

#DHAServiceDelivery means branch bookings in eHomeAffairs not working for months; call centres not answering; "advice" that's just wrong; and having to take 3 children out of school and 2 adults from work to queue for hours because nothing works. @HomeAffairsSA #WarOnQueues #fail

Found @eduroam at an airport recently? For those who're travelling in #SouthAfrica this holiday season, you can #love2eduroam at @ortambo_int and @capetownint airports. We're running a limited pilot in conjunction with @Airports_ZA until 16 Jan.

[Guy Halse @GuyHalse]

@zhangbohengs There's @eduroam in more than a hundred countries around the world ;-)

Insightful keynote from Kostas Glinos: the current system of assessing academics and research based on papers published rewards the wrong behaviour; we need reform. #UC2022 @UbuntuNet

Day two of the @UbuntuNet #UC2022 conference in Botswana. Such lovely surroundings. Looking forward to some fruitful discussions.
