I have figured it out.

1. There is a company called Actis
2. There is a company called Globeleq
3. There is a company called BTE renewables.

These entities are connected and are involved in private takeover of energy and infrastructure. They have a large footprint in Africa. Read this carefully.

Actis’ portfolio company Globeleq, develops, owns and operates power generation facilities across the emerging markets

Do you understand. Ok let’s go to the next tweet.

Chat for gents.

Will thought he was being powerful by slapping Chris.

In fact he only got power for the 30 seconds. That’s what violence gave him.

Then he became powerless because the power shifted to Chris Rock, to the academy, to law enforcement and to the global public. I guess as men we all have to reflect on this incident and think about what it means to our daily lives.

The action also took away attention from his hard work, Samuel L Jackson, from Quest Love’s documentary.

It also opened up his wife to more attack and ridicule.

Heading: Two homes in South Africa.

We should never be comfortable with this gap in quality of life.

It is the product of systemic failure during and after apartheid. While I acknowledge that we cannot have equality of outcomes in terms of income and lifestyle.

I do believe that we must create equity of opportunities .

The system must be create an environment conducive to giving everyone a fair shot.

One thing I want to highlight.

At some point a group was formed called Save South Africa. A website was built and the public was canvassed.

After Zuma resigned they closed shop. But SA was not yet saved🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️.

They had given the impression that it was about a bigger mission. I see now there is a formation named after defending democracy.

Democracy is threaded by many things.
1. Racism and white supremacy
2. Corruption and looting
3. Poverty
4. High youth unemployment
5. Terrorist activity in Mozambique

Are they really about that life?

Bill Gates needs to do an interview with a robust journalist clarifying some of his earlier comments about vaccines and population control.

That will go a long way in restoring the trust. Some concerns that people have stem directly from things that he said.

It’s hard to ignore My approach to removing misinformation is to transparently provide the full information and explain the science and associated data.

It’s not just mocking and shouting at the people who have reservations. That should be the global approach to the vaccine information cycle.

Hi @SABreweries are you guys willing to pay for 30 million vaccines?

You have been profiting immensely from the poor using their last cents to drink.

Why not make this contribution to government so that you can go back to making billions from the alcohol economy. The longer the pandemic lasts, the more money you are likely to lose.

It’s in your direct business interests to fund a large portion of the procurement of this vaccine.

Help the government vaccinate everyone by June 2020 and everyone will be drinking next December.

The argument that twitter/facebook are private companies is shallow and ignores the issues at stake.

Here is the issue - the core question.

What power should entities that control the public and civic discourse platforms of the world have? Here are the numbers

▫️The are 2.7 billion people on Facebook.
▫️There are over 330 million global twitter users.
▫️There are 2 billion monthly users on YouTube.

Effectively these are oligopolies of discourse. Their decisions can affect governments and the affairs of man.

Elon Musk was bullied at private schools.

Is that a real reason for saying he has no concern about South Africa. I mean personal reasons can be good and they can be bad, but it’s a shaky argument for me.

Surely he should just resent the white South Africans who bullied him. Trying to go to Mars seems more crazy an idea to me than trying to fix Africa which has potential to feed the world and still has abundant space.

Not my money and we don’t have much of an audience with tech billionaires outside, but if I had a minute that’s what I would say.

I am not sure about these unilateral decisions by social media networks.

Especially in anticipation of future behavior.

They do this for someone we hate or someone who is hated, next thing hey could be doing it for someone who they disagree with. I don’t think the left should have this level of control of popular culture and the global media. I am beginning to see a chilling effect on some speech.

It’s almost as if, if you don’t think like the New York Times & Hollywood influencers then there is a risk of being silenced

The latest white man trying to compare the activities of Trump and his gang to the EFF.

There are fair criticisms of the EFF for example on Mugabe. However it’s very clear that the right wing Trump collective is in the DA and Afriforum.

Senekal farmers were invited by them.

It’s a force fit and it’s not working.

If you want to criticize Trump in a local context do it right.

Call out the people who don’t see color. Call out the people who went to meet Ted Cruz to lie about a non existent white genocide. Call out those who share racist cartoons.

We must be able to separate emotion from reason.

We must be able to separate example from principle.

I have a concern about the unilateral and sometimes arbitrary censorship powers of the main social media platforms.

In instances outside of Trump this could be harmful. Silicon Valley tech companies are not diverse. They are not informed about global issues and they lack contextual understanding of many local discussions.

3.4 percent of the Facebook leadership is black. 1.7% works in the technical departments coding etc.

Twitter is similar.

#MatricResults2019

The department of basic education massages the numbers to tell a misleading rosy story every January.

Data out of the technical reports they release during the years. They paint a very troubling picture.

The real pass rate is 22% for Maths. Using 50% line The data for Physical Science is not very positive either.

The real pass mark reveals an average performance of 25.2% of students passing over a period of 8 years.

The number is students sitting for the exam declined while the number sitting for matric went up.

PLEASE NOTE

Human tissue of living and deceased people can not be handled any way you like.

There is law regulating it the National Heath Act of 2003 to be specific.

Contravention can lead to a jail sentence of 10 years.

So @MarianneThamm can actually be arrested @MarianneThamm assistant editor of @dailymaverick was on @Radio702 yesterday and admitted to being in illegal possession of the sexual fluids of members of @EFFSouthAfrica leadership. Presumably @MbuyiseniNdlozi.

This is what she said
