@ConCaracal Exactly, as someone living in EL every single person I have engaged with, of all races since they announced it, does not agree with the name change

@ConCaracal In my opinion, if they want to change names, hold a referendum of the people who live in a place. Thats how real democracy works.

Fewer than 300 people consulted to change the name of one of South Africa’s biggest cities businesstech.co.za/news/governmen…

@Martin_ASFL @ConCaracal I treasure my copy that I bought while at Police College back in the day

I've been on the lookout for a complete history of the South African Police but these are exceedingly rare. Glad I found this 800 page behemoth at a garage secondhand bookstore!

@PSiRALive I would love to see the list of industry experts who attended this event.

In 2022, PSiRA published a research report titled “The New Private Security Industry: Regulating Cybersecurity Services in South Africa.” The study explored the emergence of cybersecurity as a new private security discipline and examined whether the existing regulatory framework particularly the Private Security Industry Regulation Act 56 of 2001 provides a sufficient mandate for its regulation. Following the publication of the report, the Authority, led by Director Manabela Chauke and his management team, is hosting a Cyber Security Symposium aimed at unpacking the implications of this evolving private security landscape, with a strong focus on regulatory frameworks. The symposium brings together industry experts with extensive experience, as well as leading academics. Professor Mark Button, from the University of Portsmouth, provided a global perspective on the rise of cybersecurity and the regulatory challenges it presents. Meanwhile, Mr Hloniphani Xulu, a researcher within PSiRA, presented a local perspective on cybersecurity and its implications for regulation in South Africa. Further discussions will focus on the Regulatory Framework for Cybersecurity in South Africa, as well as The Role of Private Digital Forensics in the Investigation of Cybercrime. These segments will be led by the State Security Agency (SSA)and the South African Police Service (SAPS), respectively. The symposium will culminate in a panel discussion led by industry role players, aimed at exploring the evolution of security threats, countermeasures, and regulatory challenges, with the goal of developing a forward-looking framework to guide the regulation of cybersecurity within the private security industry. #Cybersecurity #security #PSiRALive #Regulation

@BarneySimon Everytime you were at Numbers, even going back to the original venue, I had so much fun. Good memories from the pit.

Good times! Had many rocking gigs there... #ThrowbackThursday

@MokoenaDee Went to visit him today for his birthday

@DFS_JasonJ It really is hey. 🤍 You prepare them academically and emotionally… but no one prepares us for the silence that follows. Two weeks in and it still feels strange, right? I’m proud of my little champ Neo🙌🏾 We’ll adjust. Slowly. One resisted phone call at a time😅

My child went from matric to residence in what feels like five minutes. I didn’t expect it to hit me this hard. No warning,No emotional preparation. Parents who’ve done this before How did you adjust to this new season without over checking?

@elonmusk Also a base on Luna could itself expand into a launch port for vessels travelling to Mars and beyond at a significantly cheaper launch cost that launching from Earth.

For those unaware, SpaceX has already shifted focus to building a self-growing city on the Moon, as we can potentially achieve that in less than 10 years, whereas Mars would take 20+ years. The mission of SpaceX remains the same: extend consciousness and life as we know it to the stars. It is only possible to travel to Mars when the planets align every 26 months (six month trip time), whereas we can launch to the Moon every 10 days (2 day trip time). This means we can iterate much faster to complete a Moon city than a Mars city. That said, SpaceX will also strive to build a Mars city and begin doing so in about 5 to 7 years, but the overriding priority is securing the future of civilization and the Moon is faster.

@elonmusk I think this makes a lot of sense, especially from an engineering, scientific and risk mitigation strategy. It would allow you to test methods in a more hostile environment but still close enough to potentially survive a critical failure.

@FiotXtra @BafanaSurprise I disagree, and thousands of isiXhosa speakers would disagree as well. We have always referred to it as iMonti

Imagine traveling all the way from the USA to visit KuGompo City 😭😭😭🤣🤣! The renaming is a sign of decay! Our leaders are ruining South Africa!

@lekhosi4l @BafanaSurprise Then why not iMonti which is the name that Xhosa speakers have used for it as long as I have lived there.

@BafanaSurprise This is Africa it must have an African name

@BafanaSurprise To those of us who live here is will remain East London or iMonti. Nothing else. This insanity only works if we accept it. And there are thousands of us living there across all “race” groups that are not happy. But since when does the ANC care about the citizens

@PolyannaBrey It will always remain East London or iMonti to those of us who live here.

Successfully decolonised.🤣 Does anybody know what KuGompo means?

@bettersafetynet Like you I use these a lot when I am in the Middle East and I think it is appreciated.

Rather odd question. Esp aimed at Muslims Because of my work in the Middle East, I've found that I've sort of picked up saying Inshallah or Mashallah where it makes sense. They're very handy imo. But! I'm not a Muslim. I am "of the book" Is using these phrases "ok"?

@thewardoll We had friends on that plane.

Air Rhodesia Flight 825 was on its final leg of the journey to Salisbury, Rhodesia when it was shot down by ZIPRA terrorists supplied with a soviet Strela-2 surface-to-air missile. 38 of the 52 civilian passengers died in the emergency landing; but the worst atrocity was committed when the terrorists found the wreckage and rounded 10 more survivors up and massacred them with automatic gunfire, including four women and two girls aged 11 and 4. A few survived the initial burst of rifle fire and were bayoneted, including a mother and her 3-week-old baby. Despite this horrific act of savagery, the global media largely refused to report on the attack, and many of you reading this now are learning about it for the first time. Why? Because Rhodesia was the canary in the coal mine. They were a warning to the rest of Christendom, that what happened to them will happen to us. A warning of what's to come if we don't reject communism, bolshevism, and all the other satanic "isms" and return to our Christian roots. That's why we refuse to let the history of Rhodesia die. It's more than just shirts and patches. It's about the legacy of Christendom itself. Rhodesian Lion patch in Brushstroke at war-doll.com/store

@IanCameron23 The arrest is not justified at all, and actually violates national SAPS orders. Thursday problem is that the SAPS get sued, and we pay the price. There is no consequence management for the police officers acting irregularly. So the culture of impunity just continues.

Should I shoot to save a victim’s life? A few months ago, chaos erupted in Durbanville’s business district at around 11:00 when a man allegedly stabbed another man repeatedly and was then shot and wounded by a 64-year-old Bystander. The Bystander, the owner of a business nearby, witnessed the altercation, rushed to the victim’s aid and fired a shot at the attacker, still busy stabbing the victim and wounding him. The victim, trying to escape from the attack, ran away with the attacker following him. The Bystander went to report the incident at the Durbanville police station and was subsequently arrested on a charge of attempted murder. He was held overnight in Durbanville police cells. firearmsguardian.co.za/2025/12/12/sho…
