Obsessive tabulator of pre-1994 dead. Optimism of the will, pessimism of the intellect. Old UDF idealist. Anti-monarchist. No blue check. One dragon at a time.

#SteveBiko was only 30 years old when he was murdered in 1977 yet such an enduring political & intellectual impact.

Listen up @Nedbank I have spent more than 90 minutes on the phone, dealt with three different consultants all of whom put me on hold and never returned. Now I am on hold AGAIN waiting for Premium Banking to pick up. This is hell and its over between us. Closing my account. – at Kempton Park, South Africa

Im going to Discovery Bank. Thanks for nothing. It was all about access to your airport lounge. Imagine losing a customer over that. Pathetic.

I think women should decide what to do with Mitch McConnell's body since he decided what to do with theirs.

Another South African was about dead in Alexandra over night. This is now the third South African killed by a violent mob related to the protests. I want and wish to also know his name Lives lost senselessly on preventable violent confrontations are sad and upsetting

These are very good numbers overall. No less than half of all people in all provinces say they wouldn’t care if their neighbour was gay/ lesbian. The mission now is to increase social acceptance of all people and create the inclusive, kind South Africa we all wish for.
Polling Africa@pollingafricaJun 17
Mpumalanga and North West are the most gay-friendly provinces in South Africa, with 81,1% and 80,4% who said they would like/not care about having a gay neighbour, in each province respectively. KwaZulu Natal (51,4%) and Western Cape (59,4%) are amongst the least gay-friendly.

Residential security estate would not let me enter because my vehicle licence disc had expired as if they are some kind of traffic department. Will they be checking on my outstanding traffic fines next time? WTF.

It was not my vehicle in this instance, but I have been guilty of lapsed car licences before. My personal admin can be a little chaotic. Salute to all those more organised than I. I see the point about insurance - but still draconian damn.

When you feel stupid, remember that María Corina Machado gave her Nobel Peace Prize to the guy who today threatens to destroy an entire civilization with nuclear bombs.

So sad to hear of the passing of Ufrieda Ho. She was a passionate South African and Joburger. Her book “Paper sons and daughters” opened many of our eyes to the incredible history of Chinese South Africans. Hamba Kahle. Rest in peace.

At the memorial service for Terror Lekota, part of a generation of United Democratic Front (UDF) leaders who showed me a different way to be South African during apartheid. I owe him a great deal. Hamba kahle! Qhawe lamaqhawe! Long live!
