@Eskom_SA any news on the outage in Prince Albert?

[Richard Spoor @Richard_Spoor]

The best way to understand the ANC is to see it for what it is, a nested heirarchy of semi-autonomous crime families. Local strongmen control the branches. Their power derives from their influence over municipal government controlling the award of tenders and allocation of jobs.

[ANC Quotes @QuotesAnc]

“In another 18 months to two years, you will forget the challenges that we had with relation to power and energy and Eskom ever happened.” Cyril Ramaphosa, 2 September 2015 [He had been tasked by Cabinet in 2014 to turnaround SOEs and was reporting on his progress to the NCOP]

@HadebwZompi Everyone must learn to pray for rain but not to overpray.

@OUTsurance
Following another bad claims experience how do I cancel my policies?

@LRothkegel @TableMountainCa Longer than you want to stand.

@British_Airways over the past three days you have been incontactable by phone. Over 15 minutes on hold everytime only to have the call terminated. Do you accept carrier pidgeons?

Mauritius has also just announced a new scheme where you get residency if you lease a property in one of the new retirement villages they building. With residency comes almost zero tax, no CGT, no estate duty etc. I see thousands of SAcans retiring to Mauritius, not the Cape.

"Bloemfontein SPCA has seized 68 horses from the Lesotho Army, all of whom were in a shocking state. The horses were being held on a plot in the Free State under the care of a single soldier. Several horses were already dead, the SPCA put down those too far gone." @dailymaverick

Today’s Business Report lead is basically an interview with the Billionaire Philanthropist Dr Iqbal Surve. The article supports a thesis that I am developing, that the deeper any prominent person is mired in sleaze the more likely they are to call for more radical transformation

@GvanOnselen Thuli who in tweets refers to white people as The Pinks.

[ZB Kotze @zb_kotze]

Dear @Julius_S_Malema, now that @Shaun_the_Sheep has been fired and the Scorpions are back in full force, @EFFSouthAfrica will have to account for their thievery of the poorest of the poor.

@jean_leroux Carls fight to get another berth on the gravy train is real

[ratrap @ratrap1]

@jsteenhuisen Ag Ou Derek. He is quiet as long as he has a berth on the gravy train. Once Zuma kicked him off he suddenly found his moral compass. A professional salary collector in between.

The fact that 25 years on, the only organized school sport takes place at some 1 800 former model C schools is either proof of the persistence of white privilege or the complete and utter uselessness of the Department of Basic Education. It’s a tough call.

[ratrap @ratrap1]

@JacksonMthembu_ @MYANC Oh Jackson we all know it is not ANC policy to bring their members to book for anything.

[ratrap @ratrap1]

@Eskom_SA Prince Albert and many other towns without electricity for hours now. Municipalities getting no feedback from you whatsoever. What is going on?

[Pauli Van Wyk @PaulivW]

This now from a twitterati whose fingers do the talking, but can’t find it in himself to call into @Eusebius’ show where he can be challenged.
Very brave.

@MuppetHunterZA @politicsblahbla @jamesstyan A few hundred BEE middlemen and enablers are in between the diesel source and Eskom. I bet they pay 5 times the pump price.
