Housing plans for Tafelberg site revealed https://t.co/iKtg1pRBEl

[Ndifuna Ukwazi @NdifunaUkwazi]

The Tafelberg case has reached its final stage at the Constitutional Court, the highest court in the country.

Judgment has been reserved.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who has supported us on this journey. But this moment demands that we organise beyond the courts.

We call on the Province to make a clear and decisive commitment to releasing the Tafelberg site for affordable housing—vague promises are not enough.

Poor and working-class people cannot live on the housing waiting list.

We will issue a thorough press statement soon.

🇿🇦 #SONACheck | President @CyrilRamaphosa made big claims about #SouthAfrica’s progress—from reducing #loadshedding to supporting clean energy and creating jobs.

But were his facts accurate? We’re verifying and updating our report as we verify more! Stay tuned. https://t.co/7JdW2nkCtk

too many people want to eliminate homeless people instead of eliminating homelessness

Five years ago, on 1 November 2019, we’re reminded of the banner unveiling led by Reverend Alan Storey.

After years of advocating for the use of golf courses for housing, the @CityofCT intends to develop the Mowbray Golf Course.

This is a significant victory, and we will be closely monitoring the progress moving forward.

Someone from my HR department asked me, "But does research take the whole day?" 😂 oh, my sista, if only you knew that I spent 3hrs reading literature to develop 1 paragraph 🥹 I spent 2 days transcribing videos 🫠 and 5hrs reviewing one set of indicators 😟

did it hurt? when you realised 2025 is just 4 months away & you are still processing 2019 which is about to be more than half a decade ago

[R M @rrbex]

@neza_tshazi It's triggering memories of that Agang-DA era, and also echoes Aunty Pat's legacy of not being tied down to a single political party 🤭🤭

What an interesting time in SA politics!

I asked ChatGPT to describe your favorite politicians, except make it funny. The point was to see whether it could still “roast,” a prompt removed early on. Herewith, ChatGPT roasting your faves, but still nice.

A thread of kind (ish) roasts. 🪡🧵
