Cancel culture is yet another toxic manifestation of the current zeitgeist. It's one if our new great challenges ro growth. Even good, brilliant people can make errors. It's called being human.

Its easy to mobilise around issues - what is much more challenging is to organise around changing an unjust system, especially when this unjust system is a global one. We have to figure out how to link our struggles - cos they are connected literally not just rhetorically

[Saudah @spasmal]

Mindblown.

A week after SA secured a R131 billion deal with rich countries to phase-out coal, Mineral Resources and Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe called on African nations to urgently form a united front to resist global pressure to rapidly abandon fossil fuels.

Under Zuma, Guptas gripped Eskom. We have major issues today.

Under Zuma, Guptas gripped the ANC. ANC is in trouble today.

De Ruyter's time is on shaky ground consequently.

Ramaphosa's leadership is questioned consequently.

Meanwhile Zuma remains the most celebrated hero.

Building and operating 120GW of renewable plants would be significantly cheaper than building and operating 40GW of nuclear or coal plants.

We are wasting time.

Here’s a theory
The erratic slippage of the grid can’t just be diesel shortages or unit trips. It seems a macabre plan to cause a national shutdown. That would make the case for emergency 🚨 power ships 🚢. The Karpowership deal is about R180-billion + over 20 yrs. Gas prices 🆙

Today is Zidan Moti's 7th birthday. Zidan should be at home celebrating with his parents. Please bring the Moti brothers home! Maybe Twitter can help? Retweet and share, let’s not rest until the brothers are home safe with their parents. #motibrothers

Once SA’s petrol price increases by R1.21/l on Wednesday, petrol inflation will be 33.9% year on year. With electricity inflation at 14%, the cost of energy in SA if far outpacing incomes. Access to reliable and affordable sources of energy is critical for SA’s economic success

Txai Suruí, a 24-year-old Indigenous activist from Brazil, told heads of state at COP26 that their timetables for reducing carbon emissions and scaling back the use of fossil fuels were not adequate.

"It’s not 2030 or 2050," she said. "It’s now." https://t.co/orCOzgSaJ8

[Luisa Neubauer @Luisamneubauer]

Yes, that’s the whole point.

"He said the help must come in the form of grants, loans or private investment."
Strikeout "loans" and I'm in agreement with this. We don't need to be paying these countries any more than we already have. It's also not charity if you've stolen from the recipient first.

President Cyril Ramaphosa has asked the world’s developed economies, who he says bear responsibility for climate change, to provide funding for SA and other developing countries to transition to a renewable, clean energy future. | @Fin24

As predicted, the elite have turned Glasgow Cop26 as one giant pat on the back for the ruling.

Speaker after speaker, Boris Johnson the worst, boasting about how amazing they all are at cutting carbon.

[Teresa Anderson @1TeresaAnderson]

At "the most inclusive COP ever", environmental NGOs have been given just *FOUR* tickets to share between them, with which to supposedly observe ALL negotiation tracks, while the Leaders' Summit takes place on Mon & Tues.

FOUR.

Unprecedented level of exclusion.

Julian Assange and Jamal Khashoggi were targeted because they fulfilled the primary duty of journalists – telling the public what governments want to keep secret #IDEI2021 #FreeAssangeNOW #JournalismIsNotACrime

[Saudah @spasmal]

#COP26 but did any of the participants watch Seaspiracy? Government subsidies to industrial fishing are something governments can directly address. More marine protected areas & enforcement... interrogating current fishing practices & bycatch... so many policy ideas right there

[Saudah @spasmal]

Whatever happens in these LGE, I still have high regard for @CyrilRamaphosa. Might be a great time for co operation between parties & really working together as a democracy.

Taqwa, God-consciousness, means being aware and mindful of Allah at all times and in all affairs.

Allah promises support, happiness, forgiveness, and immense reward for those who practice this.

Remember that when your ego tells you to forget God for a second and just have fun.
