@NicholasNyati Sorry to break it to you. We all want a better Joburg, but not even Jesus will fix the structural issues in that place. Believe me I know.

@uMarhobane Myself and @burriesgil have been saying it for years but no one wants to listen to fact or reason. Case and point: https://t.co/3Jv3InubHX

Government reluctance to invest in data hampers policy-making, relying on guesswork. New data challenges urban growth assumptions. Learn how emerging data can reshape urbanization insights. https://t.co/za2Slsix4m

We had a most fruitful meeting with @urbanly_org Whether in the US or Africa we need to break the data barriers in urban planning and decision making. One fact is clear, cities seldom have a full grasp of what is happening in their jurisdictions. @burriesgil @bcga_urban

While data accessibility is a significant step forward but extracting value from such vast amounts of information requires specific skills and expertise. SDSA is committed to promoting access to data and building skills @SACPLAN1 @ruralviews @SACitiesNetwork @NationalCoGTA

Data holds immense potential to drive informed decision-making. To that end, we are excited to announce the latest addition which provides building data for South Africa on a 100-meter grid. It shows building footprints, volume, and heights across SA.

@CityTshwane is growing by an estimated 30k households p.a. There are about 100 out of 257 municipalities in SA with <30k households. Let that sink in! An estimated 59% of all structure in Gauteng is outside formal townships.

I disagree @GDCoGTA you cannot legislate professionalism. It is an inherent human quality linked to personal integrity. We have a behaviour problem not a lack of legislation. You cannot legislate a crooked stick straight.

People who prefer T20s and ODIs to test cricket are the same people who still wear a mask while driving alone in their car. #ENGvSA

We continue to be a consumer economy instead of a production economy. We keep on digesting our capital base and then we're surprised when the economy does not grow. [2/2]
