Credit where credit is due. I've fortunately only had to claim 3 times in my 10 years with @dialdirect but each time has been hassle - and pain-free. #kudos
Holy crap @Makro_SA. You had 1 job and 365 days to do it in:Make sure your site was ready for #blackfriday traffic. #blackfridayfail

Very important that election observers/monitors REMAIN in #Zimbabwe until the end of this process. Those who endorse this poll before being satisfied with the reconciliation of raw ballot figures with final results are not election observers, merely election tourists.

Our daughter, Rachel, had her bone marrow transplant in March 2017. We celebrated her one-year anniversary - an incredible milestone - and we toasted her anonymous donor. And we continue to salute all the donors - who save lives and give the gift of hope. #SunflowerDay2018

#Noseweek did its work: in Feb & March 2012 we spelt out just how crooked Resilient players & their game on JSE has always been. A sharp reminder in 2015 failed to influence big players e.g. OMutual and Coronation, JSE itself, proving only interested in profits, not principle xitter.gq/Magda_Wierzycka/status…

Imagine we asked for all money stolen from the state, claimed damages for every Group Areas removal, pass law arrest, back wages for all lowest paid workers ...domestic and farm workers... Imagine the tax burden on @danroodt & other crooks? @Eusebius Imagine xitter.gq/danroodt/status/972182… – at Cape Town, South Africa
A stunning example of how to commit kamakhazi AFTER you've already been shot down #ZumaExit #ZUMA #GuptaRaid #ZumaRecall

When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die.
Or you have a meeting.
And another one.
And await the outcome of that one.
And then you have the SABC announce it.
Except it's premature.
So you wait a bit more.

Also journalists. Thank you to the tireless newshounds who never stopped sniffing and digging. xitter.gq/PaulivW/status/9630687…
Before the opposition jumps to claim victory at the political carcas in Irene, let’s take a moment to thank
South Africans;
whistleblowers and;
NGO’s
for chipping away at this elephant for the past decade.
Salut.

Maths and science are the foundations of the 4th Industrial Revolution jobs. By lowering the standards at 30% pass mark we are depriving so many of relevant education. Shortage of teachers is resolvable by harnessing technology-enabled solutions. xitter.gq/businesstechsa/status/…
The worrying truth behind SA's 'improved' maths and science marks businesstech.co.za/news/life…

It is a brutal destruction of value for both retirement funds and individual investors. Where was proper research? Most asset mgt agreements indemnify investors against ‘gross negligence’. In my view this qualifies. Time to test those clauses. xitter.gq/richards_karin/status/…
Steinhoff: List of largest shareholders by @Moneyweb.
Government Employees Pension Fund is the biggest loser.

Yesterday somebody told me not to make critical statements about #Steinhoff on the grounds that it was unpatriotic. Some folks' double standards are Olympic level.

Re attacks from active managers on my view on Steinhoff: Index trackers buy all JSE Index shares so all have some exposure to Steinhoff. But passive managers like Sygnia don’t market their research skills nor charge for that. As indices have many shares, exposure is v diluted.
Those poor bastards in the @TAKEALOT tech department. Site down 1 Min past the stroke of midnight. So much #BlackFriday shopper hate coming their way. Sympathies.
