Today, I am having a frank and transparent discussion with our agriculture industry partners on their concerns should the Africa Growth and Opportunity Act (AOGA) not be renewed. 👩‍🌾

Omicron is not a 'South African variant', it's a variant that was spotted & reported by brilliant South African scientists so fast the world has a chance to get on top of it. Could have originated anywhere.

Earlier today, the @CapePhil performed a Concert of Gratitude outside Groote Schuur Hospital, showing their appreciation of frontline healthcare workers. I thank them sincerely for this beautiful display of gratitude and join them in honouring our healthcare workers country-wide.

I have a soft spot for this ever smiling contestant, sassy Daylin Sass. He's just a whole vibe, firstly, and...I keep thinking of Rehana Rossouw's What Will People Say? set in Hanover Park. This talented young man is proof you can dream beyond your early life. Love his energy.

The face after you realise you've broken the WORLD RECORD! Tatjana Schoenmaker is your new world record holder in the women's 200m breaststroke. #RSA @fina1908 @TeamSA2020 #Swimming #Tokyo2020

I believe in our remarkable Constitution and our great anthem. But I’m no longer buying the ‘kumbaya’ to get us through this crisis. We need wise leadership. Intelligent states-people. We need a plan to solve poverty. We need an economy that can create growth. No more singing.

A week from hell, with so-called leaders clueless/missing! But a glimmer of hope as the real leaders emerge: ordinary citizens doing extraordinary things❤️ Love between humans - transcending man-made divisions of politics, race, religion, class - is only thing to get us through🇿🇦

[THREAD] A dear friend of mine, slightly younger than me, keeps me informed of his body's response to covid-19, for over two weeks already. He tells me (as many have) that he has never felt this ill in his life, including anxiety that needed treatment also, besides other meds.
