We have been trying to load a container for the last week, and the port is basically closed due to the wind. Now the ship has omitted CT.

[Johann Biermann 🇿🇦 @JohannBiermann1]

Have we spoken about how hectic the wind has been lately in and around Cape Town?

[Simon Back @simonback]

Great opportunity for Zim. Hoping that market access from South Africa follows their lead.

It is pleasing to see that Zimbabwe will now export blueberries to China for the first time. The diversification from tobacco is key. We have seen Zimbabwean blueberries in some of our retailers here in South Africa, and they are of reasonably good quality. We need more improvement in Southern Africa’s agriculture.

@gussilber Keen, if you have any spare invites?

[Simon Back @simonback]

@orchard_robots Hi from South Africa. Would love to hear about your work on blueberries?

@Mandla_MaWine @michaelfridjhon What were your standout wines?

100 off 35 balls. Only 14 years old, Vaibhav Suryavanshi is an incredible talent.

[Sachin Tendulkar @sachin_rt]

Vaibhav’s fearless approach, bat speed, picking the length early, and transferring the energy behind the ball was the recipe behind a fabulous innings.

End result: 101 runs off 38 balls.

Well played!!

[Simon Back @simonback]

Unreal.

Newton’s lesser-known law: the probability of bubble-blowing liquid ending up on the floor is directly proportional to a child’s excitement and inversely proportional to the number of paper towels nearby.

Still working through the trauma.

It's been 25 years since the most famous dropped catch of all time. Yes, you probably know it already.

It is Herschelle Gibbs dropping Steve Waugh in their last Super Six encounter. But there's way more to the story than just that. Let's recap.

@wolfejosh We need help sorting out Cape Town Port! It's crippling South African exporters.
