@JHBWater there is water pouring out of the pavement at 37 Fricker Road, Illovo. Closest corner is Harries Road and it’s next to the Illovo Water Reservoir and Towers. Reference No: JWAPP-40136082.

New research: assessment on how MNEs are responding to the #GlobalMinimumTax offers early evidence on the impact of co-ordinated international tax reform. Read the #OECD working paper🔗brnw.ch/21x49EJ

@DanNeidle There's also the companion piece econstor.eu/handle/10419/8…

The first point is real, and so is the second (kind of). See this, my favourite tax paper: columbia.edu/~wk2110/bin/dy…

Very unlikely inheritance tax will be raised to 50%. Would be the highest rate in the developed world and would give people a huge incentive to not die.

@WandileSihlobo International and local research demonstrates the bulk (sometimes all) of the benefit will be captured by the supply chain and not passed on to consumers.

On March 26, 2026, during a debate on violence against women in Germany’s Bundestag, left-wing MP Kathrin Gebel was repeatedly interrupted by AfD MP Martin Reichardt. She responded: “Mr. Reichardt, the clitoris has 3,000 nerve endings, and you’re still more sensitive. That’s quite an achievement.”

@AprilSnowGoose @motsohi_thabang Joining SARS and the RAF in attempting to do so? See paragraphs 3 and 4 on pages 128 and 129 of the Nugent Commission final report static.pmg.org.za/190213SARS_Com… Very likely to end in tears.

@motsohi_thabang None because the City has disputed the finding and may take it on Judicial review 👇

Can you believe this: The City of Cape Town regressed from a clean audit to an unqualified audit opinion with findings due to non-compliance in supply chain management and procurement processes. The Auditor-General noted that while the financial statements remained credible, the City must improve its procurement discipline to restore clean governance. Which heads will roll? @geordinhl

@MyJRA And the wire for the the pedestrian button has been clipped off.

@MyJRA Thanks. Pothole repaired by Pothole Patrol. Pedestrian button well on its way to falling off and disappearing.

@MyJRA Pothole on Oxford Road, Illovo, just north of Chaplin Road and a dangling pedestrian button at the intersection of Oxford and Chaplin. Please log.

@CityPowerJhb Thank you, power restored before lunch today and still up so far.

@effectuator Will follow up and revert back. ^TM

@CityPowerJhb, when do you think you will be able to restore the power that went out in Otto Street, Illovo, between 04:00 and 06:00 on 21 June? Coming up for three days in the cold and the dark now.

@MyJRA @SimoneAtLarge @JHBWater @BelindaE6 @Bertha23206554 A year later and the slabs well on their way to disintegrating. As said earlier in the thread, @MyJRA has let this simple repair become an expensive one.

@effectuator @SimoneAtLarge @JHBWater @BelindaE6 @Bertha23206554 Good day, we have escalated this service request to the team to expedite repairs. We regret the inconvenience caused. ^AK

Would @MyJRA (or is it @JHBWater ?) please look into replacing the storm water drain covers at the corner of Rudd Road and Otto Street, Illovo. A pedestrian hazard for months now.

Four months after George Orwell published 1984, his former teacher sent him a letter. Aldous Huxley had one message: you described the wrong dystopia. 🧵
