@flysaa When will the luggage be delivered, please.

[Ingrid Thomson @ingridthomson]

@flysaa what a disaster flight SA372 delayed by 2 hours to accommodate the earlier flight which had tech issues ...and then you left our luggage in CT to accommodate the earlier passengers. You have very angry customers.

[Ingrid Thomson @ingridthomson]

@flysaa There were 40 passengers affected

[Ingrid Thomson @ingridthomson]

@flysaa But why were the bags of the passengers on sa372 taken off and not those from other flight.

So which South African works enter the public domain? Wish there was a similar list. Is this something the @NLSA1 could produce?

[Internet Archive @internetarchive]

When the clock strikes midnight on January 1, creative works from 1930 & sound recordings from 1925 will enter the public domain in the US, like:

💄 Dizzy Dishes, the first appearance of Betty Boop
🔍 The first 4 Nancy Drew novels
🚂 The Little Engine That Could
🤡 Animal Crackers
🎩 Morocco
🍑 Georgia on My Mind
and many more!

This in the midst of the National Library Board of SA appointing a non-librarian as the primo librarian (National Librarian) in SA (oh sorry he may have taken a book out of the library once - and that qualifies him to be lead the library sector in SA) Talk to @LIASANews

Librarians in South Africa are REALLY angry about this. Kick in the teeth for the profession. Also affects the archives and records management.

[Ingrid Thomson @ingridthomson]

@SAfmRadio @dailymaverick Please follow up with the National Library about the non-librarian as South Africa's National Librarian. None of the National Library Board have any library experience. Please talk to Pres Charlie Molepo at @LIASANews
