Hey @Unlimitedza your one and only emergency contact number isn’t working. It cuts out just after you speak about being in “safe hands” I’ve called four times now.

@c_delarey @DisprinXtra South Africa has (had) one if the best HIV programmes in the world. Defunded by Trump.

[Sascha Polkey @saschatherabbit]

@belindajadavies @DisprinXtra The USAID money meant that people were LIVING with HIV. Also the looming tower is disproportionate to the stats.

@LudidiVelani I’ve loved your reporting. I always read articles with your byline.

This will be interesting

@SurveyMonkey Yes but the payment gate way doesn’t work on either of the two cards I’ve tried. I just want to pay, collect my answers and go. The details about the ten results are tucked away deep in the fine print and who expects to have to pay for 25 answers. I could have WhatsApp ed them!

[Sascha Polkey @saschatherabbit]

@SurveyMonkey your model sucks. Don’t touch it if you want more than 10 answers from people. Why bother offering a ‘free’ tier if you are only getting 10 results - pretty sad survey. Oh yes maybe so you can hold the results ransom for payment? 🤬

@sugan2503 Thank you Sugan, please take a break for a few days. You really deserve a rest.

A love letter to the survival of the arts

[NationalArtsFestival @artsfestival]

To commemorate this crazy year and all those who somehow pulled off the impossible, we've released our 1st issue of Review - a souvenir magazine that stands as a record of the year that was. We hope you��ll take a moment to browse through it. Read it here https://t.co/990UFzD89j

[Sascha Polkey @saschatherabbit]

@sugan2503 Thank you so much, you need a holiday!

What an achievement Damon Galgut! 👏🏻

[Jenny Crwys Williams @jcwLIFE]

Ok. Let’s put Damon Galgut’s @TheBookerPrizes in perspective. Only two other South Africans have won the Booker: Nadine Gordimer and JM Coetzee. And now, Galgut. This is huge.

[Sascha Polkey @saschatherabbit]

@DawieScholtz @News24 Wow, thank you for the many hours of number crunching and for keeping us informed. Much appreciated. Get some sleep now 🙂

[Sascha Polkey @saschatherabbit]

I had no idea- these are staggering numbers

[UNFPA East and Southern Africa @UNFPA_ESARO]

650 million 📈 .
That’s the number of women & girls alive today who were married as children.
The only acceptable number is ZERO!

Sigh, 2020...

If anyone wants the most poetic piece of poetic poetry to come out of the coronavirus pandemic, there are three Carnival cruise ships in a muddy shipyard cove in Turkey, slowly being dismantled into scrap.

The names of the three ships are Inspiration, Imagination and Fantasy.
