Absolutely mind blowing that South Africa’s electricity minister is blaming the country’s small fleet of wind and solar farms for stage 6 rolling blackouts.

Eskom data shows renewables output has been steady all week and even higher on the day stage 6 was announced.

This is damning. According to News24’s reporting the SA Air Force, which planned the President’s flights and has extensive experience with clearances & permits, warned Maj Gen Rhoode of the SAPS PPS that they did not have the correct paperwork for their weapons. It was ignored.

[THREAD] 1. If the President resigns tonight it will open the door for the nastiest, most craven and unrepentant criminals in the ANC to start feasting again. Are you ready for “President David Mabuza”?

@UrbanLo Unfortunately with the "opposition" we have, this is the sad reality.

To those in the West who defended Putin when he launched his war of aggression, who recycled Kremlin propaganda and transferred the blame to Ukraine or NATO:
Any second thoughts?
Regrets?
Qualms about supporting a man whose fascistic autocracy was staring them in the face?

NEW: income inequality in US & UK is so wide that while the richest are very well off, the poorest have a worse standard of living than the poorest in countries like Slovenia https://t.co/gtHvhNsnuT

Essentially, US & UK are poor societies with some very rich people.

We researched some of the biggest Facebook groups promoting the Canadian trucker protest before they were shut down yesterday, and noticed something was a bit off.

The only individual admin running some of the most active groups was one woman in Missouri. Or so it seemed.🧵⤵️

Karpowership - Mantashe's clear favourite - will charge Eskom an effective tariff of around R2.80/kWh.

The latest round of solar and wind projects will charge Eskom R0.47/kWh.

Make it make sense.

In 2012, 3 men met at Harvard.

Together, they'd change human performance forever.
