@GvanOnselen Indictment on society and humanity. How can you not be affected?

Genuine question: Can someone explain to me why so many South Africans on Twitter (at least in my bubble) are so heavily and emotionally invested in US politics. I can get being intellectually interested, but I am talking fully emotionally invested, like they actually American?

Tune in as I convene African, American, and global business and philanthropic leaders in Zambia to discuss digital inclusion on the continent of Africa and public and private sector investments. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

What an experience! @VP Kamala Harris hosted a 2-hour roundtable on digital inclusion and access with a broad range of leaders from business, philanthropy and government focused on public private partnerships. This is just the beginning!!

Excitement in the air: Vice President Kamala Harris about to host a discussion on digital inclusion in Africa. The roundtable is set and what a privilege to hold one of those seats. Promises to be insightful in the effort to close the digital divide. @VP @SanariCapital

Thrilled to be invited to Lusaka as part of the visit of US Vice President Kamala Harris to Africa. We began with a visit to Lusaka National Park, hosted by Second Gentleman Emhoff. Truly inspired! #conservationeducation #zambia @VP @SecondGentleman @SanariCapital

Curator Cloete Murray has died in hospital after he and his son were shot in a hit yesterday. If there was a big liquidation in SA, Cloete handled it. He would go after the assets. This is devastating for the fight against crime and corruption. It will have a chilling effect.

Some really horrendous stats here!
