@elonmusk Elon Musk. Liar, liar pants on fire, nose as long as a telephone wire.

[Hector Eliott @hectoreliott]

@elonmusk There is something uniquely distasteful about a smug billionaire dumbing down and trivializing an issue that killed millions of poorer people, playing up to anti-rationalist, anti-humanist and anti-scientific sentiments for the cheapest of thrills.

@EdKieswetter For the first time, my VAT return requires SARS to refund me. SARS has opted to take away my tax compliant status, without reason and without warning. I just got a major contract suspended cause of SARS. How do I get SARS to stop impeding honest taxpayers?

@helenzille Hmmm...although you used to kick me up the butt for using the "something Nazi" construction....😜

Hi, @Vodacom111 3 months ago I moved to @Vodacom from @MTNza. At same time applied to transfer ownership to my biz. Today I heard transfer declined cos my number is on a "fraud watchlist"?!?! Vodacom shop says can't help, Customer Care says shop must help. Can @Vodacom111 help?

Sunday Good News! The Harrismith community was for 14 days without water. Freestate farmer Petrus Classen bought a water pump. Installed it even though the municipality tried to block him. He is now providing water to 80% of the community. Social Media please share good news too!

South Africa will not begin to thrive unless and until the ANC loses power. To think otherwise is palpably delusional. And this statement holds true whatever you think of the DA.

Of course penguins can ski

Image Classification via Machine Learning is amazing - but it still has a way to go.

It gets confused by:

Not knowing penguins can't ski.

Judge Zondo should investigate every company that got major contracts from an ANC government. We now know that these don't come without bribes. Unless people are prosecuted and jailed, the Zondo Commission will turn out to have been an expensive diversion.

@helenzille Here is the answer to troll farm question: Q: In which episode of Star Trek did Chief Engineer Montgomery "Scotty" Scott make emergency repairs to save the starship Enterprise from certain doom? A: All of them.

I’ve only had two drinks. I’m ok to drive. The reality is you are not. Your decisions could land you behind bars. #BoozeFreeRoads is the only way. #RBT officers testing motorists on Voortrekker Road, Maitland.

TO ALL PARENTS - You make pathetic seatbelts! Sadly you'll probably have to try it before you screw up bigtime! Ping! @Wheelwell

[The Fatal Moves Team @FatalMoves]

HELLO PARENTS/DRIVERS ! Is this likely to occur in your vehicle.... Well is it? Secure your kids & pets in transit NOW!.... while you still have them. Ping! @Wheelwell

[Helen Zille @helenzille]

With the dedicated traffic officers staffing the "random breath testing" road block tonight. Still far too many ppl drinking and driving.

[Helen Zille @helenzille]

Here's my latest column that responds to Professors Botha and Slade, and explains why Identity Politics is destroying Freedom. I think it is an important commentary on our times IMHO!

I have to ask how @amaBhungane rationalised their decision to have a white female as an investigative journalist?

@WCGovTPW has been doing a mini-expo so @WCGovSafelyHome made a poster highlighting some of its achievements since launching the Calendar. Have a look! @helenzille
