@0x4Graham @DanDeFiEd DOWN WITH MATCHA!!!!@

@DanDeFiEd Only reason there's a long queue at coffee shops today is because they sell Matcha which takes forever to make. Down with Matcha.

Italian efficiency when it comes to coffee should be studied. In Italy: - Walk into a bar and look at the guy - Un caffe - 30 seconds later it’s ready - Shoot it - Leave €1 - Walk out In the US: - Join a line - Wait - Order coffee - Answer 12 questions: Size? Milk? Roast? Sugar? Temperature? Colombia beans? Name? How do you spell it? - $12.34 - Ask for a 20% tip. Click 5 times on a ipad to have a custom tip - Tap phone - ask where to send the invoice - Wait again on a different line - Someone call a name that sounds similar to mine - get the coffee - too hot, can't drink it - finally at temperature taste like shit

BREAKING 🚨 MULTIPLE SOURCES SAY MULTIPLE DIFFERENT THINGS.

@Mpumiln I believed that rumour way longer than I should have.

Ngikutshela ngama 1K mina. We even started a rumour that Theo from Boom Shaka was a girl. 😭🤣

@murphygee5 The proposal to make podcast equipment expensive was valid. Some of these podcasts are bad for one's IQ.

What's your view on podcasts?

@PortiaMoemedi It's probably similar to my Tswana. I sound like a robot with speech impairment when I try to speak Tswana 🤣.

Ba re my Zulu is not broken , it’s paralysed??? Okes???????

@PortiaMoemedi I like the old logos like the ones of Mangosuthu, Zululand, Vaal, and Wits, but for me, the old Stellenbosch one was just too busy for my liking. There's just something off with it.

@Mhlongons I hate the new one so much. Looks like something from Canva

Same. And Mangysuthu, Vaal and Stellenbosch. I think it’s because it’s OLD or something. I don’t know.

@Kolie_Yola @Ndoni_ZN I knew Kayamandi existed, but I thought it was a decent township like Umlazi. I did not expect this.

I went there last year and was a little shocked that Stellenbosch has places like this. I realized that in all my years of visiting Stellies I've been confined to the university precinct and wine farms.

@ta_kweila It looks like it was designed by a grade 4 learner.

University of Limpopo must do some redesigning of that crest... Universities sell prestige, aspiration am also tempted to say elite signalling It is not about education, and yes symbols matter coz the society (read 'the market') rewards signals, not just substance

@African_Spring All the best!

ANNOUNCEMENT: CLLR WELEKAZI FOR KZN PROVINCIAL CHAIR Fellow Democrats, After engaging with colleagues across our province, I have accepted the nomination to stand for Provincial Chairperson of the Democratic Alliance in KwaZulu-Natal. My journey into public life has always been rooted in service. Growing up in a family that experienced the realities of apartheid, I developed an early commitment to justice and opportunity. That calling led me into education, where I served as a teacher and later in school leadership, before entering public office. In the eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality, I have worked to build trust through consistency, responsiveness and a deep understanding of the issues our communities face. I believe our strength as a party lies in our branches, activists and communities. If we are serious about growing the DA in KZN, we must place our grassroots at the centre of how we organise and lead. I am stepping forward to help build a DA that: •Empowers branches as the engine of growth •Connects meaningfully with communities •Develops leaders across all levels •Is united, focused, and ready to win This campaign is about strengthening how we organise, lead and grow – from the ground up. A stronger KZN, together. Councillor Welekazi Sibiya Candidate for Provincial Chairperson #AStrongerKZNTogether

@n_makhubele Indeed!

Even if we freeze to death, winter will remain the best season ever🥹

@BantuMthabela_ In his defence, I would also struggle since I am used to uphuthu. I eat this type of pap with a spoon unless it's freshy cooked, then it's still soft enough to scoop with your hands.

To show you that he's not used to this, look how he broke off the pap... 😭✋🏽

@SneKhumaloSA Angithi nathi, we are always singing and dancing. Even at DA congresses, it's black people who are always singing and dancing. At political rallies, we are singing and dancing. Adverts directed at a black audience always include singing and dancing. We feed the stereotype.

The way the DA is campaigning makes me feel so uncomfortable. In 'white areas' (despise the term), there's a certain gravitas in the way they conduct their electioneering. There is town hall type of meetings, speeches and explaining their policies etc.. In 'Black areas', they go to shisanyamas et al, dance and toto toyi looking absolutely ridiculous. They play into these racist and anti Black stereotypes and they don't even see how utterly out of touch they look

@sziks Congratulations, Mr Zikalala.

@shufflesdu Maybe the car wash business is not doing well 🤔.

Recently went to a carwash I had gone to a handful times over 2 years. The owner took the opportunity to hold us hostage while we waited & sold us some snake oil miracle cell products that purport to cure anything from cancer to neoliberal tendencies. I'm at a new place today.

@shufflesdu Hear! Hear!

Phones should be sold with earphones again. People are too comfortable playing their TikToks at the highest volume in public spaces.

@barrybateman Indeed! If only such a thing existed. We wouldn't have all these unnecessary trucks on the road, but alas, such a thing does not exist in South Africa because politicians own trucking companies.

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?

@thamieverywhere Yes, but flying to or from there is expensive. It's a small Airport.

Richards bay has an airport?😳

@MbekezeliMB I hate those people. We buy concert tickets to listen to the artist, not to listen to the crowd talking over the artist. I wish this behaviour was confined to Johannesburg, but it seems to be everywhere.

Joburg friends, is it a thing to have full blown conversations during a live performance? I was quite surprised at how many times people were told to keep quiet during a jazz show. The artist herself thanked the crowd for keeping quiet during one of the slow songs. Haibo?
