I feel it is my civic duty to tell all Capetonians that getting a passport renewed at Home Affairs at FNB Greenpoint was an absolute pleasure! (Getting the appointment took some time, but once I had it, what a breeze!) @HomeAffairsSA

Pre-ordering is a power publishing move in 2025. And Barnes & Noble are offering 25% off if you pre-order by Friday 7th Feb. What a steal! If you’re considering buying my book (and you should! It is a delight!), check it out: shorturl.at/5owBu #BNPreorder @WatkinsWisdom

I'll tell you a secret about having more impact. You've got to focus on fewer things, ideally just one -- your most ambitious idea. And you've got to commit and finish it.

Great & productive inter-country dialogue (South Africa,Eswatini, Mauritius & Botswana) on @WHO supported acceleration plans to stop #obesity. @WHOSouthAfrica is partnering with @UNICEF_SA and is committed towards halting and reversing the burden of Obesity @WHOAFRO @dangou_jean

Government wants to have 90% of the adult population aware of their diabetes status by 2027. Could the way we speak about #NCDs stand in the way of that? @bridgetmcnulty says yes. bit.ly/3HnPqgx
