    A short thread on the website I just launched: The Progress Playbook (theprogressplaybook.com) has but one focus: Proven ideas for a better world. It covers the policies and programmes that are succeeding in driving sustainable development and could be replicated elsewhere 🧵

    The African Union should send election observers and peacekeepers to this unstable democracy 😉

    Portugal is currently getting 97% of its electricity from renewables, and it's exporting a lot of excess capacity to Spain. Wind is currently supplying 64% of Portugal's power. As a result, power prices are just €4/MWh at the moment.

    Mr Price is buying the Studio 88 group of businesses (Studio 88, SideStep, Skipper Bar, John Craig and others - 700 stores in total). It'll pay R3.3 billion in cash for a 70% stake.

    As a white South African, I'd like to point out that every word of this is utter trash. 🗑️
    Please say a prayer for the white minority in South Africa who are suffering daily murder, discrimination and oppression. This Christmas, spare a thought for a kindred community that is under siege. They are suffering racist genocide at the hands of a murderous regime.

    Anyone want to start a TV series with me? I’m thinking a South African version of The Office but set in a Home Affairs department.

    This is an uprising of the poor, the forgotten, and those with little to lose. The short-term solution is (peaceful) intervention by the SANDF & SAPS. The long-term solution is to uplift these communities. If the govt keeps failing them, the rest of us must find a way #ShutdownSA
