What is the update on this?
We are going on to almost a day without power.
Why do we even need the blue light brigade? Is normal police protection and security not enough? The blue light bridgade should be disbanded. @eNCA @GarethEdwardsSA – at Randburg, South Africa

If you know anything about Alison’s story &what happened to her in 1994, it’s shocking to see her attackers released on parole. They’re not the kind of people who should ever be allowed back into society. 28 years is not enough for individuals capable of such heinous crimes. – at Randburg, South Africa

Stop worrying that you haven’t reached a particular goal at a particular time. You still have time. Everything is unfolding for you. Even in the midst of change or transformations, there’s still a pull that guiding you directly to your greatest vision. Be patient with yourself.
Incredibly sad and disappointing but true. Things have only got worse over the last 5 years. – at Randburg, South Africa
I’m really sad about this. After Chris left, my only hope was Don. And now, no Don Lemon. @CNN has now ditched a whole bunch of the anchors and correspondents who actually brought the channel to life. – at Randburg, South Africa

It’s scary that this is the most read FT story… I hope Mr De Ruyter’s efforts finally start to turn things around. – at Johannesburg, South Africa

Secret to finding your passion is to start bringing passion to everything you do. No matter how small or big whatever you are doing is, do it like you really want to. That’s what creates excellence. And, great success.
Now this is a feel good story for a Sunday evening! Well done, Sir! – at Randburg, South Africa

Every child deserves the right to education regardless of where they are or where they came from. Any politician who plays children off against each other based on birth origins does not deserve your vote – at Cape Town, South Africa
This makes me so sad… I’m such an art fanatic and to know that we have irreplaceable artworks in a dilapidated heritage building breaks my heart. And who will sponsor the refurb? No one - there’s no confidence in our country atm @bonglez #carteblanche – at Randburg, South Africa
Brian McKechnie is a heritage architect working on restoring historical buildings in Johannesburg. He says the Johannesburg Art Gallery is in desperate need of some TLC. Join #CarteBlanche Sunday 7pm as we go on an art gallery heist... @MNet @bonglez
Hearing that KFC is going to be closing branches due to the #loadshedding makes me sad. I can only imagine what it’s like for the smaller restaurants! I think we should all do our bit to keep @KFCSA & our other favourites going - even by ordering small meals. Streetwise 2 anyone? – at Randburg, South Africa

S&P affirms ratings, warns of debt risks over Eskom bit.ly/3UOAkqi
I’m not a financial expert but surely funding for diesel is a small problem compared to the issues from stage 4&5 loadshedding all week. Weaker Rand, impact on the JSE, our matrics needs to write their exams - find the money& deal with it later. @Eskom_SA @PresidencyZA – at Randburg, South Africa
Well it’s either corruption or incompetence- pick one. Or both. – at Randburg, South Africa
Minister in the Presidency Mondli Gungubele said that he did not think that South Africans understood the extent of the corruption which was pervasive at Eskom.
