Replying to @CheckersSA
@CheckersSA trying to register on the app with a Dutch phone number, but the sms isn’t coming through. Any chance the one time pin can be sent using email? Or another way?

Why does her party run for elections? 94, 99, 2004, 2009, 2014, 2019 and now 2024, if they are unable to govern? Did they not have a slogan "Reversing the frontiers of poverty?" How were they hoping to do that? She is saying, in perpetuity, her party is a fugitive of the past?

Missing the cape so much this week 😥
We had a 10min power cut today in the area I live in NL, well you’d think the world had ended the way the dutchies went on about it. Breaking news here. I’m like guys, in Africa this is normal and we just get on with it.
Did my first gym class in Dutch, Ah the universal language of exercise🙌

We didn’t foresee this????
President Cyril Ramaphosa says no one could have foreseen the country would be battling an energy crisis. Ramaphosa says the launch of two power stations in 2015, led him to believe power problems were a thing of the past. #DStv403
Summer clothes are being packed away…this has become a thing for me🥹
People complain about the healthcare system in NL but I went to the doc with an ear problem and she referred me to a specialist in less than a week. Now sitting at the specialist and waiting to get it sorted. I can’t complain.

You just have to follow the process I guess. Your gp is the first line of the process…always.

Wish he was playing this years final!
On this. Working at the AO this year, I witnessed Rafa’s incredible friendliness with staff. My one very minor story: Norrie came in looking for a massage table, but none were left. Was going to send him to another room, before Rafa instantly got up and offered his table. (1/2)
