Evidently the ANC spent more time and energy debating what can sustain unity within the party than what Treasury proposals implied. Analysis:
Sketchy ANC plan lacks detail on structural reforms

I warned about this early this year. I think the business community and the public ignored this because they were under the heady spell of Ramaphoria. This has now evaporated. And there is depression all around. Read this again: city-press.news24.com/Voices/temper-…
President Ramaphosa has a very good heart. He also has a clear understanding of the ills that confront SA and what must be done to remedy them. He can deliver on this task. But his primary task is ensuring party unity. This he cannot deliver.
The only pathway out is spelt out in this Op-Ed: thoughtleader.co.za/thabangmotsohi…
The post NEC statement is convincing proof that nothing much will happen until 2022 as I have suggested. Till then, regression will continue. It's all about divisive execution.

@MYANC confirms new service delivery framework driven from district level. But this is exactly what cooperative governance was intended to achieve. Problem is that the local government system has been politicised and it is almost impossible to
appoint competent people at the functional level. Our proportional electoral system has created a channel for politicisation to occur driven from the party centre and enabled by local and regional party leaders. The outcome has therefore been that cadres are
appointed to key tender related positions. Competences are therefore compromised and lost. The end is deterioration as we see it now. The new district driven framework therefore does Not address this fault-line. As long as cadre deployment and politicisation

Municipal elections are around the corner and as usual every party desperately wants to sound credible on issues sensitive to residents. The SACP even threatens to go it alone because their Alliance partners, the ANC, have messed up munics they control
But this is fresh coming from the SACP. They cogovern with them for God's sake. Suddenly they have now seen the light and found their co sciousness. What pretentious nonsense. They are unashamedly dishonest. This is profoundly unbelievable. 🙆‍♂️🙆‍♂️🙆‍♂️
And then you hear Ace state that there will be trouble for underperforming municipalities. He single handedly destroyed munics in the FS. This is no allegation.
It's a fact. I have intimate knowledge. Dishonest politicians are erupting all over the place.

I was asked a fascinating question: How do giant companies come to suddenly collapse and die? My answer: It is never sudden. It's a progressive deterioration as a result of ignoring warning red flags to change purpose and business model to suit current times.
Example: Eskom increased labour costs substantially in past ten yrs. Yet they sold less and less power in same period. But debt almost doubled and interest cost increased. Gross revenue cant cover up costs. This is a classical utility death spiral.
Amazingly unions and the president say NO retrenchments. No selling off of non-core assets. Brilliant. President promised a restructuring plan in Feb 2018. Remember that?🤔🤔 Well. Where is it? Tax base is decreasing!!! Bailouts?? You figure 🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️😴😴😴

They think we are WEAK, that we are SICK for choosing HUMANITY. For choosing to FEEL. That they are STRONGER for CUTTING AWAY their ties to HUMANITY and LOSING THEIR FEELING. Me going through what I did in the underground bases and still having standards is proof we are strong.
My ONLY weakness was TRUSTING abusers. That's IT, I trusted abusers and they used that against me, regularly, on a mass scale, hiring or simply recruiting stalkers in groups that participate in ritual abuse, to the point where I couldn't even speak out without being harassed.
That is GRAVE harm and damaged my health, they spent more time and energy going into that than anything else meaning their entire goal for interact with me was to stop the disclosure of personal experiences of TRAUMATIC RITUAL ABUSE and MIND CONTROL.

Spent more time on #China accounts. So, by the account creation dates, most of the accounts (418) were created in 2017 - one dated back to 2007. However, that doesn't mean that they were tweeting about Chinese politics, or even controlled by China, back then. That's important.
Filtering the tweet text for variants on HK, Hong Kong, etc (in English! someone else should do this in Chinese...beyond my skills), there is a batch of tweets (~400) related to HK from 2017. BUT! Those are about sports and tourism. Bots tweeting ab HK Disney etc.
Then there is another batch related to Hong Kong in 2019. Those are about politics and related to the protests.

There are signs of coordinated amplification there: ie, two accounts, @ctcc507 and @feituji1994, were amplified by others in the data set. Some replied, others RT'd.

Jaeyong Spin-Off AU✨

Despite of how Jung Jaehyun has prepared himself in meeting his husband, Lee Taeyong, again all these years since latter's disappearance, he was rendered speechless, frozen in his spot as he saw the empty eyes that were once full of life gazing back at him.
NOTE: Spin-off of this Nomin AU

I know that I told you guys I'm going to write Jaeyong NSFW first, but I feel terribly sad at the moment. I think my mood suits this so...

-Quote
-Don't reply
NOTE: Another thing, the "...since latter's disappearance..." of this AU's blurb was supposed to be "...EVER since THE latter's disappearance..." but because of character limit, your boy had to delete some words.

#taekookAU | It’s You

Jungkook has gone his entire life thinking he had a dead Soulmate. His black tattoo echoed his lonely celebrity life. One day, his tattoo fills with vibrant colors & a lonely Omega stumbles into his life with a complicated past... from another entire world
This is my first BTS fanfic so I’ll be trying my best 🤗 I’m still new to Twitter though and much more used to Ao3 so please put up with me haha

~Make sure to quote to not break the thread
~Please likes, comments, and CRITICISMS so I can improve
~Likely be a written fic :3
“Jungkook is busy today. If you wish to contact us for an interview, please contact the agency. Thank you.”

Namjoon shut the door firmly closed, but Jungkook could still hear the loud screaming of girls in the background and the yelling of the paparazzi.

In court for the hearing of Darryl Sheepway's petition against the Whitehorse Correctional Centre, which alleges, among other things, that WCC uses solitary confinement under a different name. Background:

yukon-news.com/news/wcc-calls…

Before we get underway, Justice Veale is questioning why the copy of the Adult Custody Policy Manual provided to the court is redacted and says he doesn't like it. Asks YG lawyers to check into whether a full copy can be provided.
Lawyer Vincent Larochelle (representing Sheepway) says he's done a lot of think about the petition. He notes that it was filed while Sheepway was still at the WCC and being kept in conditions he wanted out of. However, the trial and sentencing moved faster than expected, meaning
