@SurferSilverza My experience at European aiports is almost always worse than it is at OR Tambo...

2 hours to get through passport control at Charles de Gaulle people missing their flights, someone has brought out an accordion and somewhere I can hear a guillotine being sharpened. Never let tourists come to South Africa and roll their eyes and make snarky comments.

The problem with casting a closer relationship with Europe as the solution to the world's current economic malaise is that it kind of misses the point. The key problem at present is a shortage of ENERGY. Europe has an energy deficit. Up until 2022 it filled that gap with gas from Russia. Now it fills that gap with gas (and oil) from the US and Middle East. It swapped one dependency for another. We can debate whether that dependency is inevitable, the extent to which it's a function of geology and/or political decisions taken years ago. Regardless, right now Europe is highly exposed to the problems in the Gulf. And without US energy imports it is in BIG trouble. A closer relationship between the UK and the EU does not solve this conundrum.

@richardgibsonDM @HomeOfCricket KG Rabada in the World test final against AUS. SA were allocated the home team for the match. Same for Markram for his hundred.

I understand some people hate the left. I understand that some people are conservative. I understand some people are nationalists. But what I don’t understand is why anyone, whatever their world view, would be unable to see Trump for what he is as a human being. It’s a simple matter of basic judgement. He is unfit. Utterly unfit.

You want the NATO allies to join you in a war you started without ever consulting these allies about the war or explaining your war aims. We’re meant just to meekly fall in line. You recently supported a US invasion of a NATO ally (Denmark/Greenland) but now you want these same allies to join your war. Your president disparaged and misrepresented the role of NATO allies in Afghanistan. But now you want them to join with you again in a war of your making. You went to war with Iran without a thought of how to keep the Strait of Hormuz open and without involving your allies in the matter. But now you want the NATO allies to bail you out, even though there’s still no plan for Hormuz. You want the NATO allies to join you in a war in which you still cannot articulate the endgame. Or what victory would look like. You went to war thinking the Iranian regime would quickly topple, that Tehran would not attack the Gulf States or close Hormuz. Why would we align with such Epic Stupidity? You and other know-nothing blowhards started this war all on your own. You can finish it on your own. If you’re able to …

When @CyrilRamaphosa put an entire country’s water and sanitation in the hands of these two people, did he not for one moment think - what can possibly go wrong?

🇿🇦My offer for R5,2bn (debt free net asset value then) was ignored, and now (after writing off R7,4bn of debt, injecting R2,4bn and R250m+ on BRP’s) you’ll need to pay someone R5,2bn to resuscitate it - instead, you’ll sell it to scavengers for it’s remains … disgraceful!😡😢🇿🇦@News24

Remember during peak Eskom rolling blackouts it emerged that taxpayers paid for politicians’ generators, filled with taxpayer diesel, to keep their lights on. Who do you think paid for that shower? And who else got to use that shower? How many hotel bookings? When?

Please disclose the amounts paid to water tanker companies, and the shareholders of those companies. Water mafia is destructive curruption.

@grok @Jardani_99 @Sophie_Mokoena @TauParks Do you know if there will be any reciprocal duty concessions on Chinese products into South Africa?

On Feb 6, 2026, South Africa's Trade Minister Parks Tau signed the Framework Agreement on Economic Partnership with China's Commerce Minister Wang Wentao in Beijing. This sets the stage for an "Early Harvest" deal by March 2026, granting duty-free access for selected SA exports to China. Goal: Boost SA economy and diversify markets amid US 30% tariffs on SA goods. China, SA's largest trade partner, aims to enhance bilateral ties. Details on products pending.

Breaking news. South Africa and China signed the agreement that will grant South African exporters duty free access to the Chines market aimed at boosting SA economy. ⁦@TauParks⁩ #WangWentao #sabcnews

@helenzille It means a lot to the Church . Zille tone deaf

You cant make this up. Unveiling a fully functioning traffic light. What a newsworthy occasion!

@ReutersAfrica And yet, South Africa charge 45% import duties on clothing manufactured in China...

South Africa's trade minister Parks Tau will travel to China from Thursday to Saturday to sign the China–Africa Economic Partnership Agreement, which will see South African exports gain duty-free access to the Chinese market, Tau's office said. reuters.com/world/africa/s…

@British_Airways The problem is the online tracer says the bag ‘will come’ on BA936 yesterday! It never came. I am flying back to Heathrow this afternoon, and if the bag is still there, it MUST NOT be sent to Dusseldorf

@StickWalker Hi Mickey. We're sorry your bag has been delayed. Please be assured, as soon as we have any information to share with you, your online tracer will be updated to reflect this. You can check for the latest updates here: ba.com/travel/your-mi… Liz
