I mean, South Africa had a great network. But needs severe knowledge, skills, will and investment to bring it back. How can Mexico do this, but not South Africa?
🚨🇲🇽 BREAKING — New images show Mexico's RELENTLESS TRAIN EXPANSION.
Around 60,000 workers on at least 22 active fronts, racing to connect every major city in the country, with the Army leading the charge.

How is it possible that there are two openly gay politicians with the name Chris Pappas ☺️ South African Chris Pappas (goodluck for today), and American @ChrisPappasNH - congrats 🙏

Even George has an Airport bus route, but not Cape Town...
I'm really disappointed that Cape Town's @MyCiTiBus doesnt have one bus each direction to the Airport. @CityofCT
Oh, I see it's a recently activated Trial: george.gov.za/go-george-acti…
But truly a great move for George. @george_mun @WesternCapeGov - well done!

My first tweet inside a plane connected with Starlink.
Landing in 40minutes in Cape Town, South Africa where Starlink is basically banned due to irrational government regulations. So many missing out.

I'm really super impressed by the European Banking system to verify beneficiary details with an IBAN. It sounds silly of me to be impressed, but I find SA banks quite advanced - but we don't do this. Wonder if anything in the pipeline @MichaelJordaan ?

I really don't understand the dates of early-voting in South Africa. To early vote, you can vote the day before or 2 days before the national voting date. Surely if one is not able to make a certain date, the probability is high that you're 2+ days 'away' from that date.

I know you don't want to see another Equal Earth vs. Mercator comparison 😅 But do yourself a favour and check out @outlierafrica's interactive diagram - super interesting (even for me having see alllllllll the comparison maps :) )

What is more sad & worrying part of this story, is that in Cape Town's inner city - this was allowed to happen. It isn't a one minute job. The Cape Town inner city has almost everywhere security via the @CapeTownCID @GreenPointCID.

I still find @paystack completely insufficient and unreliable for SMEs. Deactivate company profiles due to inactivity (you can't force clients lol), and no communication - lost business to them (and the SMEs).
Africa and SMEs need a better platform than this.

First world things. I can live track the two trains (currently both moving) that I will be on today using - unbelievably cool.
My first train is 20mins delayed, while the 2nd one is 1min in advance.

So excited to travel from Ariège to Madrid today. It's been years since I last visited Spain, and even more years since last experiencing their trains and train network.

What would be awesome for @claudeai is if you can pin chats inside Projects. I want each project to have its own pinned chats.

But, this is good no? We need energy abundance... especially when we have so much sun and other renewable sources in South Africa.

So unfortunately that @SportsmansW in South Africa has terrible terrible newsletter management going. I get emails for women's sports clothing, football teams shirt launches - nothing that interest me: no personalisation.

Glad The Fat Wallet Podcast is back (even if it's just one episode for now) @kristiavh @SimonPB
Great start to a Monday... love all the undertones, and references to things that went shit over the last 5 years 😅
