Credit where credit is due. I've fortunately only had to claim 3 times in my 10 years with @dialdirect but each time has been hassle - and pain-free. #kudos

@honestjonny @Makro_SA 5 day sale starts today

[Melany Bendix @MelBendix]

Holy crap @Makro_SA. You had 1 job and 365 days to do it in:Make sure your site was ready for #blackfriday traffic. #blackfridayfail

[Melany Bendix @MelBendix]

@Makro_SA Thanks, but by your feed, it's quite a large percentage of users. And sorry, no understanding of how your beta testing for traffic load failed so dismally.

Very important that election observers/monitors REMAIN in #Zimbabwe until the end of this process. Those who endorse this poll before being satisfied with the reconciliation of raw ballot figures with final results are not election observers, merely election tourists.

Our daughter, Rachel, had her bone marrow transplant in March 2017. We celebrated her one-year anniversary - an incredible milestone - and we toasted her anonymous donor. And we continue to salute all the donors - who save lives and give the gift of hope. #SunflowerDay2018

@Hannahgadsby Nanette is the bravest thing I've ever seen. Thank you x

[Martin Welz Noseweek @Martin_Welz]

#Noseweek did its work: in Feb & March 2012 we spelt out just how crooked Resilient players & their game on JSE has always been. A sharp reminder in 2015 failed to influence big players e.g. OMutual and Coronation, JSE itself, proving only interested in profits, not principle https://t.co/u0STacX6yg

Imagine we asked for all money stolen from the state, claimed damages for every Group Areas removal, pass law arrest, back wages for all lowest paid workers ...domestic and farm workers... Imagine the tax burden on @danroodt & other crooks? @Eusebius Imagine https://t.co/gkRNaj7krI

He's not clearing his throat. He's choking on the soul of the ANC that he ate a few years ago.

A stunning example of how to commit kamakhazi AFTER you've already been shot down #ZumaExit #ZUMA #GuptaRaid #ZumaRecall

When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die.
Or you have a meeting.
And another one.
And await the outcome of that one.
And then you have the SABC announce it.
Except it's premature.
So you wait a bit more.

Things J Malema has said, in chronological order:
Jacob Zuma is a leader worth dying for
Venezuela's economy is a model for SA
Mkhwbane is a good choice as Public Protector
Ramaphosa won't become president.
No, please go on. Really.

[Public Protester @Pasco_e]

Jacob Zuma drafts his resignation letter

[Melany Bendix @MelBendix]

@Martin_Welz As someone who literally said "c'mon monkey, let's go" to their brown child in a n H&M store yesterday, yes, I agree.

[Tom Eaton @TomEatonSA]

I drink covfefe and Diet Coke, my dear
I like my news from just one side
You can hear it in my babble when I talk
I'm a stable genius in New York...

Maths and science are the foundations of the 4th Industrial Revolution jobs. By lowering the standards at 30% pass mark we are depriving so many of relevant education. Shortage of teachers is resolvable by harnessing technology-enabled solutions. https://t.co/WCSrkl3kBg
