The world map according to Google Street View in 2023. Germans are still super reluctant to open up to Street View. Not sure how much that ends up protecting their privacy and how much it points to Germany falling behind in technology. Source: buff.ly/441JHIa

Whether you agreed with the #NationalShutdown or not, the reason so many on either side of the issue watched events closely is that no matter what you think about the EFF, we all know that SA is one match away from bursting into an inferno. We just don't know who holds the match.
The sad reality…
Sad, but a fair assessment of us as a nation. It’s most telling statement: ‘’In short, the ANC is prepared to sacrifice the country for the benefit of a minority — in this case the coal industry and assorted hangers-on.’’ ft.com/content/73a5242b-9fb4…

Why is it difficult to make the change from coal to renewables, #AndrédeRuyter was recently asked at @dailymaverick #TheGatherint2022.
‘Mostly because the wind and the sun cannot be stolen’, #DeRuyter said. #eskom
So if #GwedeMantashe calls #AndredeRuyter “a policeman” at #Eskom, I just want to know what did De Ruyter “police” so effectively that it “overthrows” their state and irked #Mantashe and the #ANC to the extent where he had to go?

This has been a long time coming and those of us who are affected by the case are excited to see justice served 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
It was great to catch up with @drimontpellier today as well as attending my first MAK’IT session titled “Knowledge brokerage at the science-policy interface”💡📖
