@British_Airways Hi. Please can you tell me why both flights from Johannesburg to London leaving tonight have been delayed by a day?

[Jade Davenport @MiningHistorian]

@JHBWater There is no water in Kensington and Troyeville. This has been logged - Reference 8005489710. Please urgently assist.

@British_Airways Hi. I'm flying to London from Joburg on Sunday. Two questions please :
1. Do I need to do a Covid test before I fly?
2. I can't take a selfie on the Verifly app. It just won't work. What should I do?

[Jade Davenport @MiningHistorian]

I'd like to commend @StandardBankZA for efficient service in getting started with the Shyft app. The verification process took less than a few hours and i received the card in one working day. Excellent service!

@MTNza Hi. Do you have people manning your 135 call centre?? I have tried calling to cancel my contract 4 times, but every time I'm on hold for more than an hour. That's unacceptable customer service! How am I meant to cancel the contract if the call won't be answered?

"It stands to reason that where there's sacrifice, there's someone collecting sacrificial offerings. Where there's service, there's someone being served.

The man who speaks to you of sacrifice, speaks of slaves and masters. And intends to be the master." - Ayn Rand

@garland_shelley It's outrageous. I just don't understand how people even have the audacity.

@winepages Calitzdorp in the Western Cape, South Africa, is definitely a hidden wine gem

@Chilanga_Cement @GewaldJan @mininghistory Yes, it's right enough, although i don't have any sources to hand to provide. Would have to do some digging.

@garland_shelley You're welcome babes!
