@CityTshwane Rubbish - we had power for less than 5 minutes late last night. Still without power at the moment.

Mooikloof Substation outage update: power restored to most of the affected areas.

@CityTshwane Good progress indeed. Question: must all rooms be completed before switching power back on?

Mooikloof update: consistent progress is being made with repairs on day 7

@BISouthAfrica Brilliant. These guys actually know what they are doing.

@BerniceKing @damonheraldsun @theheraldsun @Knightcartoons It was painful to watch Serena's behavior during the 2nd set.

@damonheraldsun @theheraldsun @Knightcartoons So unfortunate that this is your response; and without consideration for the painful historical context of such imagery and how it can support biases and racism today. Why wouldn’t a human being care about that?

@Knightcartoons cartoon is not racist or sexist .... it rightly mocks poor behavior by a tennis legend ... Mark has the full support of everyone @theheraldsun

@justkerryjr314 @dukebongo @jk_rowling en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caricature

@dukebongo @jk_rowling Why did he draw them like That? Is that his style? I write a bit and every aspect of my work is carefully thought out. I can't help wondering if it was intentionally depicted like that.

Well done on reducing one of the greatest sportswomen alive to racist and sexist tropes and turning a second great sportswoman into a faceless prop.

@TeaforBunny @eugenegu @Knightcartoons @theheraldsun @usopen Exactly, open the browser in another tab. The only white person in that cartoon, is the umpire. Naomi has blonde streaks in her hair, which was exaggerated. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caricature

@johan__ @eugenegu @Knightcartoons @theheraldsun @usopen But Naomi isn’t half white and Japanese, she is hatian-Japanese, in what way is that white?

@17years_stillin @Knightcartoons @theheraldsun @usopen Not all (white) South Africans are racist. The cartoon is highlighting Serena's bad behavior during the 2nd set of the US Open final, right?

@17years_stillin @Knightcartoons @theheraldsun @usopen How would you have depicted the situation if you were a cartoonist?

@17years_stillin @Knightcartoons @theheraldsun @usopen Look carefully at the colouring again (open image in a new tab). The only Caucasian person in that cartoon is the umpire (red cheeks and all). And Naomi has blonde streaks in her hair, go check the definition of caricature. And she surely is petite.

@TayIorMoons @eugenegu @Knightcartoons @theheraldsun @usopen Not going to argue, but a caricature (as used in cartoons) is "a picture, description, or imitation of a person in which certain striking characteristics are exaggerated in order to create a comic or grotesque effect". And Serena was loud and angry during that set.

@KeithOlbermann Look carefully at the colors in the cartoon, the only white person in it, is the umpire. Naomi has blonde streaks in her hair, hence the depiction. And (Wikipedia): In racially homogeneous Japan, Osaka is considered hāfu, which is Japanese for biracial.

That’s why he turned her African-Japanese opponent into a white blonde? Because he - and you - are not racist? If he’s your finest, you might as well scrap all your newspapers. He has no place in any dignified (or even self-aware) public discourse. Nor do his defenders.

@eugenegu @Knightcartoons @theheraldsun @usopen How is this racist? Look carefully at the coloring used in the cartoon, it's accurate (the only white person in it is the umpire). And (via Wikipedia): In racially homogeneous Japan, Osaka is considered hāfu, which is Japanese for biracial.

@Knightcartoons @theheraldsun @usopen I would say delete this, but this display of racism is so blatant in the year 2018 that it belongs in a museum to raise awareness to future generations about what African-Americans are going through today.

@Knightcartoons @theheraldsun @usopen Not sure how this cartoon depicts racial stereotyping? Go check the facts (via Wikipedia): In racially homogeneous Japan, Osaka is considered hāfu, which is Japanese for biracial. And Serena acted like a spoiled brat, she should have handled the situation better.

@PatrickMcEnroe She didn't exactly display the same amazing class during the match, though. Ruined it for Naomi.

Serena diffused situation. Only she could do that. Amazing class. Congrats Naomi. She deserved the win.

@Computicket All good, just wondering :-)

@johan__ Hello! Decisions regarding the venue layout are at the promoters discretion. We do not have information regarding the above query.

@BigConcerts @Ticketprodome and @Computicket - First of all, last night's Katy Perry show was awesome! Interesting to see that the stage/floor layout is different for the Friday show. What would be the reasoning behind the change?

@CityTshwane Any feedback re this message received from a councillor? Please take note that Pretoria East outage is due to Multicore cables stolen at Njala 132kv switch yard which caused 132kv trip Njala Mooikloof line 1 and 2

@CityTshwane @JellySwirls Not restored in The Wilds (Pta East)...

@JellySwirls Good day, it has been noted. Will escalate to our Electricity department.

#Power is restored. Residents are requested to reduce power usage as the network supplying are overloaded and causing trips. #Njala #WaltlooSubstation
