We must scrap Life Orientation and replace it with critical thinking and general knowledge.

Talking world records @JohnPerlman @67Blankets broke a Guinness World Record in 2015, it was the largest area covered by a blanket - it covered 3133 sm with handmade blankets made by the knitwits of 67 Blankets for Nelson Mandela Day. It was at the Union Building.

South Africans have the terrible resilience that comes from surviving repeated, unpredictable abuses. This country has post - and present - traumatic stress disorder.

@ZacMoselane The burden is left on the single Mom, Parents and the working Uncle to look after a Player's child. The Player often comes with lame excuses. Like they upset him last time in that family 😑 Years later the Player will want to be on graduation Pics of a kid they never cared abt

To be clear: that's R18 billion rand they are withholding from the local economy. It not just what the could "do" with it. Its how it would circulate and create opportunities once spent. The idea of public sector surpluses being a good idea is a nonsense.

Calling all knitters. @BaronsProject is looking for handmade scarves. We will distribute to guests who are homeless or in need. And 500 brightly coloured ones for an event in March where 500 people will walk through the night to raise awareness and funds. Do help if you can. T.Y

Thanks @Eusebius for the heads up. This piece of @Sisonkemsimang reflecting on Friedman’s new work should be the centre of our attention? (Not John Deer falling off a Cliff?) foreignaffairs.com/reviews/review…

@mushnel @JHBWestdene @MyJRA These lights still not working are you waiting for an accident @MyJRA then you fix? @CityofJoburgZA

@JHBWestdene please can @MyJRA fix the traffic lights at the intersection of 1st and Main Road, Melville. It's a main bus and taxi route. Very dangerous!

@elmienduplessis How i love our hood ! Indeed @elmienduplessis

The 7-day rolling avg #COVID19 test positivity in South Africa🇿🇦 currently at 3.7% is lowest it's been since breaching this point in May 2020 before 1st wave 📉 I may be getting carried away but after all the bad news why not share good news while we can.. ☺️ #Rid1TweetsOnCovid

@NivashniNair This is a tragic story, sad.

A KZN paramedic began her shift yesterday, not knowing that she would never go home to her husband and three children again. Phumzile Dlamini & her crewmate came under fire after securing two patients in the ambulance. She died on the scene. Her colleague was critically injured.

@elmienduplessis I hear of one in the pipeline

@HeidiGiokos @LindokuhlXulu1 People are ugly live your life your way.

And this is why I’m starting to think twice about posting of me and @LindokuhlXulu1 The things people say and do with our pictures! SIES!!!

@rid1tweets I hope we never see this graph again, am lucky to be on the other side. Thank you for the updates

Gauteng: With a #COVID19 case incidence now below 5 new cases per 100k per day, and test positivity below 10%, I think we can declare the #3rdWave IN GAUTENG to have passed 😫 Hospitalisations and deaths steadily declining 📉 I hope to never have to share this graph ever again!
