As South Africans we need put aside our differences no matter how legitimate they may seem and unite around putting the fires out and not fueling ethnic racism and tribalism. Having lead many #ShutdownSA in the past I say with conviction this one has no place in our history.

Some South Africans seem to yearn for a donner-en-bliksem president like Trump, Bolsenaro, Duterte or Orban.

Is it just me or is it ironic that the supporters of Jacob Zuma are protesting against his going to jail by looting?

Health Minister Zweli Mkhize confirmed that South Africa has secured 20-million vaccines from Pfizer. With this, the country has now obtained over 42-million orders. bit.ly/3r6ZKQF

A giant of our revolutionary cultural movement and our democratic creative industries has been called to rest; the trombone that boomed with boldness and bravery, and equally warmed our hearts with mellow melody has lost its life force. #RIPJonasGwangwa

Pretoria High Schools for Girls and Boys in 1980s were brutal for teenagers who did not conform. Bullying, supported by teachers, was rife. As a refugee with no English I was ridiculed to the point I didn’t speak for 5 years. Only gained confidence to speak English at UCT.
So the richest man on the planet schooled at Pretoria Boys. Guess what he donated to the school...

I have never seen a President cry or show this much emotion during an address. He is literally begging us to take care. Please please South Africa look after yourselves and those around you. We need to take responsibility for our own actions now! 🙏 🕯 #level3 #Covid19SA

As we wait for the minister #angiemotshekga to sell us dreams tomorrow. This is the reality in schools. We need to do better.

The protest against racism and discrimination at Bishops, with a stunning list of progressive demands, is one of the more powerful and optimistic moments of this horrible year. Take a bow, young people. Stunning leadership from the class of 2020 👊👊👊 👏👏👏

Just 19 million out of 450 million+ children in #Africa are using #edtech—and all but 2 million of those are watching one TV show. @leecrawfurd looks at what the #COVID19 crisis has taught us about the future of edtech: cgdev.org/blog/why-covid-cri…
