@BernardJansen @VITO_G_Wagon Yes, but that's just my reception/waiting area. My office extends to all of the 6th floor.

@VITO_G_Wagon @prieurdp waar’s jou kantoor? Bo links?

AMAZON has made a Massive investment in South Africa, Cape Town. The construction as we speak is currently in progress. What is special about Starlink ?

I might have skipped @2OceansMarathon this year, but I did turn my compost heap over on Sunday morning. Shoveling around 1.5 cubes of compost is bloody hard work and my back and arms are feeling it today!

@Drip_10111 @PaulLombar87434 @KeKatli Bringing old school European and American college styles back is imitating local brands. No, it’s just not.

@PaulLombar87434 @KeKatli Basically Many users and creators view Old School as having "stolen" or imitated Kasi Flavour’s niche styling, triggering a debate on fair competition versus cultural theft .

Bruh 💔

@zeeg Slime, glitter, kinetic sand. Just don’t. Kids don’t play with it for more than 5 minutes. The cleanup is 5 hours. Just get them a cardboard box.

Whats the most annoying gift you can get someones five year old kid?

@deanwingrin @darren_olivier Sjo, that’s short notice :-/ But glad it’s back on

Navy Festival is next weekend and THE NIGHT SHOOT IS BACK! The SA Navy will hold its Navy Festival 2026 at the East Dockyard, Naval Base Simon’s Town, from Fri 17 to Sun 19 April 2026 (10:00 – 17:00 daily). Displays, demos, ship tours and the Night Shoot Firing!

@vlok_andre A new chapter in conflict management.

Seen on my roadtrip

@Doomerzoomer Be you and not know that it’s fairly well known that Bill Gates barely gave his kids anything and insisted that they make it on their own. So her father being worth $100+ billion is completely irrelevent.

Her dad is worth $130 billion.

This is not slop. This is what the internet was made for.

@JohannBiermann1 At least Amazon is coming back swinging 💪🏻

Microsoft and Tesla both -30% from their highs!

@ashtonshudson Yep, indeed. But they will more suited than koi. Otherwise try mosquito fish. They are hardy, and small. They are hard to find though.

@prieurdp yeah, i had a feeling it was too small for koi. technically, it’s too small for goldfish too since those guys get quite big

I have a 120l outside pond (a big pot i sealed). It gets about 1hr of direct sunlight, and has a pump that runs 5hrs a day (400l/hr). what sort of fish would be great for this small pond? given Cape Town can get down to 6°C?

No doubt my 2.5 year old son also wants one!

@DaveTheCarGuy @IanECox @CarsSouthAfrica Ah man would have loved to see one of these up close! Are they still around for a bit?

Fun morning hanging out with the Cyberlocos gents and their Tesla Cybertruck. What a story: a Guinness World Record attempt for the most countries visited by an electric vehicle! Video on @CarsSouthAfrica YouTube soonish.

Andy Jassy’s 2025 Letter to Shareholders is out. I've been with Amazon for 13.5 years now. The last 2 years were tough. But inside the company, you can see the changes happening. We are beginning to move much faster (like in the olden days) and a spirit of innovation is coming back (not that we stopped innovating mind you). The products we have in the works are incredibly exciting, and frankly I'm amped for the next year! aboutamazon.com/news/company-n…

@BernardJansen He did! He was admittedly a little awe struck initially and struggled to find the right words, but once I calmed him down we had a nice talk and he even took a selfie with me.

@prieurdp Did he recognise you?

Random moment for the day… sitting in a 6th floor kitchen at work catching up for the day and Siya Kolisi walks in. That almost never happens.

The difference between Cape Town and Johannesburg, summed up in a picture.

@CyrilRamaphosa Yet your government does nothing but wage public PR wars. Sit this one out.

Whenever I send our Ambassadors and high commissioners to various countries I always make it a point to inform them that they should never criticise their host countries publicly and in a confrontational manner but should always seek to raise issues privately and constructively and always seek to build relationships with various stakeholders in the host country they represent South Africa always choosing to preserve dignity and partnership between our respective countries.   x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@woestyn_wolf Damn dit lyk amazing! Ek mis die Karoo, of enige wye oop spasie met niks. Kinders is darem amper oud genoeg om weer iets soos dit aan te pak!
