In Jhb, got Gautrain, waiting for Uber, it’s pouring and storming and I am soaked to the bone, lady at a nearby coffee shop gets an umbrella and says she will walk with me to where I need to go. Both ended up soaked but who does this? I will pay it forward. Kindness prevails!

Parliament hears that SASSA approved in one day in Dec last year a marquee R485 000, flooring, R482 000, decor R487 000 and gifts for VIPS of R480 000. All just under R500 000 which puts it out of rules for special urgent spending. @eNCA

There are so many traumatized upstanding and loyal SA public officials who have been through terrible indignity, bullying, humiliation just like #PhumlaWilliams . Many are mid level, who had to disobey orders or lose their jobs. The collateral emotional damage is immense.
