Leaving this platform in November '24 to join the other one where there is not so much anger and bile. See you on Bluesky.

[Martin Slabbert @martinslabbert]

Twitter has become a poisonous cesspool of "lets see who can shout louder and be a bigger c*nt than the next guy". This used to be better and different.

So end of November I am outta here. See you on Bluesky.

Bye Twitter. Its not me, its you.

@MetrorailWC First respond to my question after being stuck on the southern line this morning. Tweeted hours ago and no reply from you. Is the line fixed now or is pm going to be as bad as this morning was?

[Martin Slabbert @martinslabbert]

@MetrorailWC we are standing still between Retreat and Steenberg for the past 7 minutes. What's going on? Should we get out and walk??

[Martin Slabbert @martinslabbert]

All the YEARS of work and selfless help and work Dr Sooliman has done to help ALL needy South Africans.... Must now be discarded because the Kiffness thinks standing up to Zionism makes someone a evil "radical Islamist".? Absolutely delusional.

[Martin Slabbert @martinslabbert]

Agree 100%. I have the world of respect for the Dr and the work that @GiftoftheGivers do and these attempts to trash their good name should be treated with the contempt it deserves.

[Erika Bornman @EBee40]

You poor deluded sod. May you never need their help. Here’s the thing though: if you ever did, they would help you, no questions asked. Despite your ridiculous attempt to smear their good name and amazing work. Long may they continue to do good in our world.

JUSTICE MALALA

Government has become as cold, callous and inhumane as our former oppressors

Khumbudzo Ntshavheni's last week rants are callous, unfeeling, inhumane instincts!

Khumbudzo Ntshavheni put her humanity on full display: “If your child is missing because they are dead underground [because of] illegal mining activities, you must come and tell us why didn’t you report that they are undertaking criminal activities.”

What a cruel language!

A mother, poor and desperate and hungry, must not seek humanity from Ntshavheni and her fellow blue-light ministers, but must be treated with even more cruelty.

A minister should know that the parent and the son mining illegally are not criminals.

They are suspects who are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Whatever happened to South Africa’s vaunted Bill of Rights?

Are people criminals now because a politician says so?

Today, with all these instruments signed, we treat fellow human beings with coldness and inhumanity.

We demonise them, branding them criminals, not even stopping to ask: who are these people?

These people working in unhygienic, smelly, dangerous tunnels in the belly of the earth are the millions the ANC’s leaders have stolen from through state capture; they are the millions who have no work as the unemployment rate stays above 30%; they are the desperate who have nothing in the pot today. They sleep hungry; they wake up hungry.

Our leaders then call them criminals.

@NetflixSA have you given any kind of response to this morning's fiasco with the live broadcast? Any apology to all the people who couldn't watch?

[Martin Slabbert @martinslabbert]

@Sechaba_G I don't get the hype. Padel is just tennis pretending it went to private school.

But then again I am the world's most unfit person so who am I to judge 😃

[Martin Slabbert @martinslabbert]

Or third option.... stare at a buffering screen because @NetflixSA didn't prepare properly and the system couldn't handle the traffic. Nice own goal!

Final check in:

Jake Paul or Mike Tyson?

Sorry @MultiChoice and @DStv but this is not surprising news. You are too expensive and you do not offer value for money. A R1000 a month is just too much.

[News24 🇿🇦 @News24]

DStv and Showmax operator MultiChoice reported it shed over a tenth of its pay-TV subscriber base in its six months to end September, when its loss also doubled after it was battered by currency headwinds as well as its spend on streaming.
