@brucebusiness Bruce what is the one thing at this point that will give SA leverage to succeed?

[Chantell Ilbury @mindofafox]

Very clever and astute Tom

[Tom Eaton @TomEatonSA]

In his defence, I think it makes perfect sense for Cyril Ramaphosa to host a golf day today. What better summary of #SONA24 and the ANC than a group of rich people taking hours to get back where they started, all the while aspiring to be below par?

[Chantell Ilbury @mindofafox]

What is happening to SA’s decision making process? Who is driving decisions?

[Anton Eberhard @AntonEberhard]

Some crazy stuff going through cabinet in South Africa - PetroSA signing up Russia’s Gazprom rather than TotalEnergies, which has adjacent offshore gas for its Mossel Bay gas-to-liquid fuels plant, and now a procurement of a
catastrophically expensive 2500MW nuclear power plant

[Chantell Ilbury @mindofafox]

It is incredible. A glimpse into what thinking the future can develop.

[Bruce Whitfield @brucebusiness]

Dubai is an astonishing place full of wonder and contradiction. @COP28_UAE has been a great lesson in the complexity of global compromise, trade-offs and the race against climate change.

Let me drink my beer and re listen!

[Jonathan Jansen @JJ_Stellies]

Hold my beer

[Anton Eberhard @AntonEberhard]

Despite1 Koeberg + 3 Kusile units, totaling nearly 3GW, connecting to the grid in recent weeks, ⁦@Eskom_SA⁩ continues to shed 4-6GW load. Who still believes the spin that the utility is being turned around? Meanwhile new power auctions delayed 😳😖 https://t.co/JeI0Az3duS

[Chris Yelland @chrisyelland]

Load shedding trends in South Afrifa from 2019 to 2023 to date. 2022 was a terrible year for load shedding, but 2023 is MUCH worse, with much higher levels of Stage 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6 loadshedding.

[Chris Yelland @chrisyelland]

At my house in Craighall, Johannesburg, I am experiencing 10 hours of loadshedding per day for 2 days now (yesterday and today). According to NRS048-9 this is consistent with Stage 8 loadshedding. I wonder what is really going on here with @Eskom_SA and @CityPowerJhb?

[Daryl Ilbury @darylilbury]

Well done, @TheEconomist. Brilliant article. Para 5, sentence 3 - “As a resource…” - is just magical. It captures in one line why #sciencewriters love telling science’s story - so that every now and then we can look at what we’ve scribbled, smile and say, “Yeah, that works”.

[Chantell Ilbury @mindofafox]

@Mike_Ferendinos Would be very interesting

[Chantell Ilbury @mindofafox]

I love this! Re NDP successes🙈

[Tau Tona™© @DiketsoMoyo]

@News24 @ZintleMahlati I wonder which targets they met

[Chantell Ilbury @mindofafox]

Always happens. Such a pity.

[Sangxa @sangxa]

My friend @SongezoZibi is now a politician, it’s very difficult to get hold of him these days

[Chatham House @ChathamHouse]

500 days into Russia’s invasion, there are signs Ukraine’s supporters want to prepare the ground for negotiations. Such a shift would be catastrophic, warns @jamesnixey (@CHRussiaEurasia). https://t.co/tQUtuX3ZP6

[Chantell Ilbury @mindofafox]

Awful. So easy to take a wrong turn. I have done it.

[Chantell Ilbury @mindofafox]

An amazing, humble and perhaps sad story. Some people become famous for their work once they are gone, not while they are living. He had beautiful songs

[60 Minutes @60Minutes]

A poor Detroit singer-songwriter rose to fame in his 70s after learning he was more popular than Elvis or the Beatles in South Africa – a country he had never visited. Sixto Diaz Rodriguez died at age 81.

60 Minutes spoke with him in 2012. https://t.co/CLASIbL8vN

[Chantell Ilbury @mindofafox]

Respect and a legend for our context in SA in late 70s early 80s

[Barney Simon @BarneySimon]

The legend who got me through the good and the bad times when I was in the army. Respect! #SugarmanRIP

[Rolling Stone @RollingStone]

Sixto Rodriguez, the Seventies rocker known as Rodriguez whose music enjoyed a renaissance after the 2012 Oscar-winning documentary 'Searching for Sugar Man,' has died at age 81. https://t.co/ZcA2IYErhs

[Harvard Business Review @HarvardBiz]

Great leaders question their assumptions and don’t respond impulsively when they’re challenged. https://t.co/yW54bygb8a

[Chantell Ilbury @mindofafox]

What a legend. My era and a huge influence on our lives. RIP

[Nick Hedley @nickhedley]

Rodriguez has died.

RIP to a legend.
