I would have spelled skaaptjop correctly, but someone nicked the handle. Fortunately, second mouse gets the cheese

@JordiGriff That is not the complete picture unfortunately. My understanding is we only refine around 40% of our consumption. 60% of refined petrol and diesel is imported, and this is very heavily affected by the ME conflict

[Sybren @Skaapchop]

@DrKruge @Rahul_AJ_1990 Yeah. Bullshit. I am a white South African that grew up during apartheid. You were taught at school that black people were inferior.

West Indies cricket players were allowed to play in SA by being given the title 'honorary white'. Don't tell me that the system was equal.

[Sybren @Skaapchop]

@RGRSA city to city transport is not the same economics as airport to suburb. And SAA being defunct is exactly why we need a city-to-city rail improvement

[Sybren @Skaapchop]

@ISephara Perfectly fine for us to be associated with murderous regimes like Iran and Russia though

[Sybren @Skaapchop]

@MbalulaFikile The art of diplomacy is telling a person to go to hell in such a way that they actually look forward to the trip. You, my friend, are not a diplomat and definitely not presidential material.

[Sybren @Skaapchop]

@MuloiwaThendo Who needs water anyways?

[Sybren @Skaapchop]

@zilevandamme What exactly is he proposing they will do - withdraw their investment? Do we get to write it off then? How would this even work?

If you are going to play a card, should you not first check that it is actually from a poker deck, and not from your child's 'happy families' pack?

[Sybren @Skaapchop]

@_cde_saffamemes @JuniorBuffett Less than 10% of our petrol comes from Sasol's CTL processes.

[Sybren @Skaapchop]

@JuniorBuffett The good news is that only about 18% of our imports come from the middle east. The bulk comes from Nigeria and Angola, so we will not likely run out. BUT, the bad news is we will still susceptible to what ever price hikes might occur

[Sybren @Skaapchop]

@RGRSA No, like a functioning economy needs a modern transport infrastructure. It is completely ridiculous that the only way to travel between our 2 major cities is by plane.

[Sybren @Skaapchop]

@trivial_hub @ErnstRoets I don't think they have Miielies in the USA

[Sybren @Skaapchop]

@DeejProwl @Mahlo_matle @IvynSambo OR Tambo is in the Ekurhuleni municipality. Ekurhuleni has it's own mayor and does not fall under the JHB Municipality's jurisdiction

[Sybren @Skaapchop]

@LiebenbergCarl @DaveWessels Why develop it when we have a world class stadium in Greenpoint already?

[Sybren @Skaapchop]

@RashiqFataar @DaveWessels Now that is a cool idea

[Sybren @Skaapchop]

@DaveWessels I have never liked Newlands. Sorry, I had to go and say it. Parking is a bastard, It is a mission to get in and once inside, it is a mission to get out again. Greenpoint stadium is world class.

[Sybren @Skaapchop]

@Zweli_Thixo Define 'Iran'. Because the current regime has proven pretty effective at killing its own people

[Sybren @Skaapchop]

@chrisw_co_za At the rate the @OurDA is pissing off your Cape Town base, especially when it comes to property, can you blame the VF+ for sensing an opportunity to grow here?

[Sybren @Skaapchop]

@RGRSA lack of option doesn't justify inaction. There comes a time when we have to vote out of protest. VF+ could be a big winner here if they play their cards right
