We said we were not leaving without a photo with Matt 😃 @ab_waitar #WCEU2024

@EasyEquities The DM only allowed me to send 1 screenshot. I have another screenshot of the email notification from my bank.

[Thabo Tswana @thabotswana]

@EasyEquities I just made a credit card deposit into my ZAR account using your payment provider Adumo. Then the screen showed "Error occurred". How can I speak with a human?

@nimbalyst after the latest update, I keep getting the following error even after starting a new session.

Memories with the @WordPressMasaka family! ✨

Looking forward to all the incredible things you all will achieve in the future. 🌍🔥

[WordCamp Masaka 2026 @WordPressMasaka]

Looking back at #WCMasaka 2025 hosted at @Equsat_Ug 🇺🇬

Amazing memories with this Pan-African crew @Braindventure (UG), @oseiagm (Ghana), @thabotswana (South Africa), & Prof. @MouhamadMpeza (UG)

Proof that the #WordPress Community knows no boundaries.

Hope you’re all winning!

How do you grow a news business and connect with your audience?

For @HaitianTimes_, the answer is @NewspackPub. Hear from Editor-in-Chief Vania André on how migrating to Newspack helped boost donations by 114% and keeps these vital stories coming.

@MattReinholz @WordPressMasaka @Braindventure @mocursor @AfricanTechVC I spent all my time in the "hallway track" and staffing the Jetpack booth, so I'll let the organizers of @WordPressMasaka speak on that. However, there's a chance you might see a recap post on https://t.co/5m0Xx1wuAg soon 😉

[Thabo Tswana @thabotswana]

A powerful dose of community and shared passion for #WordPress. It was incredible to connect with so many organizers and speakers and hear how WordPress is empowering them here in Uganda. This is why we build. #Community @WordPressMasaka

[Thabo Tswana @thabotswana]

Great point from @lumiblog at @WordPressMasaka on quality engineering. To be a QA Engineer, you must have attention to detail. This is what it's all about. #softwarequality #WordPress

[Thabo Tswana @thabotswana]

As a Happiness Engineer, my day is usually spent behind a screen. Today we're here at @WordPressMasaka to talk about @Jetpack in person! #WordPress #Community

[Thabo Tswana @thabotswana]

Swapping Cape Town's winter for Uganda's warmth. En route to @WordPressMasaka to share, learn, and support the community in person. The pursuit of happiness (engineering) is a global one! ✈️🇺🇬 #Community #Travel

[Thabo Tswana @thabotswana]

My journal entry from this day two years ago reminded me of this gem:

"The problem is that we live in a rapidly changing world, where we need to spend as much time rethinking as we do thinking."

Still hits hard today. A timeless insight from @AdamMGrant in "Think Again".

[Thabo Tswana @thabotswana]

Next month, I'm visiting Uganda for the very first time. I'll be staffing the @jetpack booth at #WCMasaka.

Beyond excited for the talks, the people, and the experience. See you soon, @WordPressMasaka! 🇺🇬 #WordPress

Automattic turns 20 this month, and we’re celebrating with a look at the stats behind the story. 

First up: @WordPress powers 43% of all websites across the internet. That’s a number worth celebrating. And we’re just getting started.
