@NetstarSA Your management must have a direct line to every employee as nobody in their right mind would authorise the music that plays when you are on hold on their switchboard... I wonder how many customers it's actually driven away??

@MadDuck68317982 Wouldn't mind betting that some of the diesel increase is subsidising the price of petrol used by taxis!

@NeasaNews How can anyone determine any real statistics about employment when a huge part of the South African workforce is made up of undocumented immigrants who work harder and for less simply because they are not protected by the ridiculous labour laws of the Country.

In this interview on eNCA, Gerhard Papenfus, Chief Executive of NEASA, discusses why many firms are choosing not to expand, and what this means for job creation in South Africa. He explains the key pressures employers are facing, from low business confidence and economic uncertainty to regulatory burdens and labour law risks.

@elonmusk Why does X not ban Julius Malema and the EFF from its platform given that most of what he says contains hate speech of some kind? #justasking

@rugby_ap If he is claiming that is a tackle then it's also a penalty as you have to wrap your arms around your opponent in a tackle and he clearly didn't do that either.

‘The ball is still in play and I am fully legal to make that tackle’ - Luke Morgan (via Instagram). Make many tackles with your elbow to a guy lying on the ground’s back do you Luke?

To all the JuJu lovers who hang on every word he says about white people. Ask yourself: - Why is his attorney white? - Why was the character witness white? - Why is his bodyguard white? - Why is his biggest funder white? The CIC are taking you for fools and you allow it.

@Am_Blujay Here's something to think about ...In the 80s a rugby spectator sitting in the Ellis Park Stadium was hit by a bullet fired into the air by someone in Hillbrow... Bottom line, he got lucky he didn't injure anyone and is serving life for that!

There is no way you send someone to jail to 5 years for discharging a fire arm where no one was injured , sounds too personal for me 🤷🏻‍♂️

Looking at this picture reminds me of that invention, though I cannot quite remember the name. Here you have individual engine things each pulling single cargo things. Now imagine one very strong engine thing pulling hundreds of cargo things, and then putting that long power-engine-cargo-thing on its very own special highway that stretches hundreds of kilometres. Mindblowing. Why don't we have those things?

As long as their licence discs haven't expired. Because that's important. That's why we have traffic police - so they can park all their vehicles on the other side of the tollgate or under bridges to check for administrative violations. Everyone knows that it is perfectly acceptable to drive on the wrong side of the road. Just do it with an up-to-date licence.

The message of free vaccines has not reached the provincial offices of @DOAgov_ZA - officials demand that farmers pay for orders. Vaccine suppliers also complain that, 3 weeks after import, they have not been paid. Farmers fear that non-payment may cause a reluctance to supply, or slow down the procurement process. We want to privatise the supply chain

@Wookster12 @KP24 @MinisterOfEish @EnglandRugby Pollock is his own worst enemy and karma certainly gave him a smack this week. You're right, the last English try should have been the winning try but instead of closing out the game when he turned over the French ball, Pollock was once again looking for the post match headline.

@KP24 @MinisterOfEish @EnglandRugby standing on the sideline waiting to come on he was getting booed by the entire French crowd. Eng scored what should have been the winning try with 3 mins left. Was the celebration over the top. Probably. But honestly, this haters reaction to anything “Pollock” is ridiculous.

I missed all of yesterday’s rugby but have seen it reported and seen a picture of @EnglandRugby celebrating, AGAIN, during the game, like they’ve won the RWC. FFS, can someone please tell them to celebrate a VICTORY after the final whistle and NOT a during! PLEASE! 🙏🏽

@DONCRICKET Good and valid observation.. it also looks like an actual coach (in black) is watching from behind the batsman which, unless he is coaching the service provider, would be a waste of time.

@RenaldoGouws @News24 I find it amazing that the South African media spends so much time focusing on overseas issues when there is enough to keep an investigative journalist occupied for 100 years here in South Africa.

It's only in South Africa where an award-winning investigative journalist can spread blatant disinformation on his social media, and there are no consequences. Any respectable media outlet would have instantly initiated a disciplinary hearing, but we all know @News24 by now. They are probably high-fiving him and congratulating him for his "brave" post.

@CrimeWatch_RSA @TrafficRTMC Couple weeks ago a d#ckhead in a silver supercar of sorts used 2 black SUVs with flashing white lights to push cars out of the fast last on Winnie Mandela Drive so he wouldn't be impeded as he drive up the road in excess of 160kph! White light brigades are the new fashion!

.US action in Venezuela is criminal and has echoes of 1930s Europe as Hitler went on the rampage and plunged the world into WW2. There is absolutely no justification for this action. It's unlawful in international and US domestic law.
