@vitality_sa @dineshgovender I truly love your travel offering but the website and call centre seem hopeless at the moment. Made a booking last night, no confirmations and now 50 min holding with no success. Flying this afternoon, so had to make a new booking and hope for best!

Some thoughts on judge Sutherland’s surveillance decision handed down in Jhb High Court today. It’s the first major challenge to the surveillance regime in SA law. @amaBhungane succeeded in all of its 6 arguments - it’s a full house. Here are the 6 challenges:

I see there has been something of a brouhaha among #whitetwitter about Discovery Bank’s empowerment scheme that will sell 10% of the bank to black people. A thread…

It is a month until I graduate with a LLM from UCLA School of Law with a specialisation in Public Interest Law and Critical Race Studies. I am really sad that my mother, my aunt and my grandmother are not alive to experience this moment with me.

Just heard a self-hating Protea fan say "Yes but this final Aussie team was so weak." You know why it was weak? Because Rabada put the fear of God into them, and Warner and Smith decided they couldn't win without sandpaper. SA weakened this team and then broke it.

[Steven Budlender @sbudlender]

Good piece by @danbrettig - Australia’s misconduct must not be allowed obscure the fact that they have been thoroughly outplayed by SA this series.

Faf du Plessis has shown immense decency and thoughtfulness in his handling of Australian's problems. I think his sentiments here should be shared by many more: https://t.co/KLCY3oGj3s #SAvAUS

It really bothers me that the police are not cracking down on this meter taxi thuggery. Taking an Uber from the Gautrain stations in Pretoria is impossible now.
