.@citypowerjhb Please would you prioritise the Hyde Park, Rosebank substation, outage? The Illovo Water Tower pump can't work and it's affected many suburbs during a heatwave. Thanks. (@JHBWater / @LeviLip )

Silly me, pre-ordered a phone from @MyiStoreSA to replace my can't-make-it-half-a-day phone. Turns out I could grab some salami and a new phone from Woolies on launch day, and I haven't even gotten a notice that it's launched from the iStore.
