    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.

    Unless you are a scientist, there is no such thing as “doing your own research” on vaccines.

    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.

    South Africa, we should be in the streets protesting for early elections. Enough is enough. #Loadshedding

    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
