I've turned this data into a website that lets you explore the crime stats through interactive maps: crimestats.frith.dev

For anyone who might find it useful, I've extracted the last five years of SA crime statistics from the awkward SAPS spreadsheets, and made them available at github.com/afrith/crime-s…

@MetrorailWC please can you share the timetable for the Monte Vista line?

@hamboneZA The article has been corrected - they're going to stop issuing the books by the end of the year, not make them invalid. Presumably this means that naturalized and PR will be able to get cards by the end of the year.
English
OK, but permanent residency and naturalised citizens are not available on the card so I have some concerns etc and so forth and so on. Do not fuck this up like every other population and ID system reboot that has ever been conducted in SA, going back further than the dompas.

The Home Affairs Department says it will declare the green identity documents invalid from the end of this year. tinyurl.com/324xn74m

@FreeInduna @hamboneZA The tariffs have not returned to what they were before the drought. But you claimed we are still paying "Day Zero" tariffs which is not true. The current "Water Wise" tariffs are much lower than the level 6 "Day Zero" tariffs.
English
It's there to change behaviour (in addition to make money for the City) - water scarcity is real and when drought comes again, which it will, we'll be more resilient. That's my take, likely an unpopular one.

I have to see the we act on behalf of letters now. People are proper shook.

I unreservedly apologise to Prof Mamokgethi Phakeng (@fabacademic) for the malicious remarks I made in a series of posts on the X platform on the 9th of October 2024. Upon reflection, I realise ukuthi zyakhala manje so sorry man Prof, hade yoh 😭😭😭

@adrianfrith That is sad indeed. Does this actually mean that it will be totally impossible to make maps based on small area data from the census 2022, comparable with the ones from the 2011 census ?
English
It appears that Stats SA will only be releasing data at ward level, and not small area level. This is ... not good.

I had the honour of working with Greg in the campaign for the 2024 election. His passing is a massive loss to the DA and our nation. 💔
Democratic Alliance@Our_DA
🕊️ It is with profound sadness and a deep sense of loss that we have learnt today of the passing of Gregory Krumbock, a dedicated Member of Parliament, the Democratic Alliance's National Campaign Manager for many elections, including campaign 2024, a visionary strategist and a stalwart of the Democratic Alliance. Greg was not just a colleague; he was a friend, a mentor, and a passionate advocate for democracy in South Africa. Rest in peace, Greg Krumbock. Your legacy will live on.

@sixhobbits Oh ja no that's a whole separate disaster for research and policy-making.
English
@adrianfrith these seemed like pretty heavy redactions too - any idea how it compares to previous releases?
Just holding back info on life, death, money, jobs, and water, nothing important 🤣

@CathrynR Voëlvlei continues to vex.
The serious answer is, it's an off-channel reservoir filled by canals that divert water from the rivers flowing off the Groot Winterhoek. This means it can't take the full flow of the rivers, only the fraction that the weir/canal system allows.

Theewaterskloof now at 98.7% and on course to spill within a day or two.
English
Theewaterskloof is up 8 percentage points since Sunday.
Voëlvlei is up a bit more than 4 percentage points.
Berg River Dam is at 105% and spilling.

I've updated my imagined demarcation of South Africa into 200 single-member constituencies for 2024.
