An alarming decline in @JSE_Group
issuer analyst coverage and offshore ownership is apparent from our @ALG_Research, in conjunction with @Edison_Inv_Res and @SingularSystems. Short, but must read for investors in SA stocks. edisongroup.com/declining-js…
These are fighting words. Does @Our_DA & @MmusiMaimane endorse even talk of such civil disobedience that would be extremely damaging to our SA economy & would set us back even further? #TaxStrike @CyrilRamaphosa
The ANC government has an
Achilles heel. Honest taxpayers will not continue forking up billions to corruption. If this continues, I'm going to be the first to mobilise a tax strike to bring this government to its senses. Anyone who gives them another chance is an accomplice.
One way to attract more attention to SA youth unemployment is to make a typo. We need drastic intervention @CyrilRamaphosa. And soon. #Unemployment #YouthUnemployment

This is what I like to see (thread 👇). Journalism class with some great lecturers. Class out. Lesson learnt. Journalism wins. @MaxduPreez @dbbovey @GraemeRauby
Thank-you but contemporary best practice is to tweet with context.
And, to at least reflect that journalism, as practice, is different to a whistle-blower giving testimony under oath.
I’m a gun-free zone.

Cape Town dam levels holding up well. Thank you for your efforts Capetonians & @CityofCT. However, no time to be complacent. What is the latest on increased supply (desalination) & capturing run-off? #watercrisis
What #Zimbabwe needs is 1) access to cheaper SA debt; 2) access to SA capital; 3) to join SACU (access to markets); and to 4) adopt the Rand. What SA needs in exchange is a) for repression to cease; b) increased political freedom and c) fiscal responsibility. #ZimbabweShutDown
What's the point of printing pages of matric results in the paper without names? At least I could check my son's results. Well done Adam! #MatricResults2018

Who remembers Rodney Seale and his book "Rock Musiek - Die reg om te weet"? Just got this as a gift. Reminded me how grateful I am to him for introducing me to Satan's music, including AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Grateful Dead, Jethro Tull and Earth Wind & Fire. How far we've come!

This is what we need. Identify industries (renewables/green energy) where we can be globally competitive, can create jobs and have a growing market (SA and Africa). Now please deregulate the SA electricity market so it can properly take off @CyrilRamaphosa. #AtlantisSEZ
The Atlantis community will be given priority in terms of job opportunities and opportunities for small, micro and medium enterprises. #AtlantisSEZ
JUST IN: Patricia De Lille announces name of new party. I'm not sure how good it is. To be honest, it could be better.

If we are looking for an area where SA can become globally competitive, create jobs & supply reliable power to ourselves & rest of Africa, it is renewables. Deregulate & support @CyrilRamaphosa. Eskom, loadshedding, #Eskom #Renewables
