In my updated Joburg-Pretoria-Joburg travels, in case you didn’t know @DadaMorero @GautengProvince , no lights on your M1 highway between RivoniA and Corlett. Top notch job chaps

Great to see that in Pretoria, their streetlight situation is about as bad as joburg. Um, what you guys doing there @Action4SA ?

I've never done it because it takes too much effort, but today I had my AI bot start emailing @CityofJoburgZA to report broken traffic lights on my way to work. I've scheduled a follow-up email every day until it's fixed. Next, automated messages and phone calls.

This was an interesting one. (I think)
What started with a R400m punt on Altron has become a R16bn investment business specialising in unloved companies and awkward turnarounds. Read Meet the fixers: How VCP is keeping the faith with SA Inc by @GTalevi in this week's edition of FM here: tinyurl.com/27cs69ta

Actually kind of sad to see the whole Dimension Data story end in ignominy like this

In other news: the countryside from to the Eastern Cape coast is just one luscious sponge of water. Amazing rains. Even Jansenville is green. Hopefully happy farmers, @WandileSihlobo

Your city, @DadaMorero, @CityPowerJhb : Spotted in Greenside yesterday. The owner of the house reckons City Power hooked up this connection for them because it doesn't have the budget to fix the issue and no permission from JRA to dig up the road and install a permament connection.

Uitenhage! It never fails to impress. A finer collection of mown down traffic lights, potholes, litter and human desperation you would be hard pressed to find. You must be so proud, @MbalulaFikile !

Some seriously pathetic comms and management from @Absa thanks to your marathon that has closed highways and gridlocked town! Thanks chaps.

Guys, the amount of litter that is being allowed to choke our waterways is just a disgrace. This is Emmarentia; and while you could do a lot better @JoburgParksZoo it’s the whole of @CityofJoburgZA that needs to act.

People don't realize how much this costs ratepayers, and how consequential this could be ahead of the El Niño conditions

The great Gauteng streetlight highway mystery: poles with no purpose. I mean, are you ever going to attach a light to the top, @Lesufi ?

Why am I not surprised that the Commissioner determinedly refused to answer questions? Check out our explainer on Rob’s cracking cover story this week on the CompComm. As he says, their response was lamentable. piped.video/watch?v=oaJ2Nubp…

Since Matias Cardarelli took the helm at PPC in 2023, the share price has nearly tripled. Here’s how he’s driving the cement giant’s turnaround and why he’s staying until 2030. Read more by @GTalevi here: fm.co.za/art_01a04880ae7e756…
