@ShoMadjozi Poor MTN 🥲 So it's ok for rural people to not get decent internet and communication services? Competition improves lives. Fact.

After spending two weeks in Abidjan, it's crazy how perfect the weather is in both Cape Town and Johannesburg for commuter cycling around town. If only safety could be improved, then we'll see a surge in bicyclists.

For example, spend the #SONA2025 money on the PEPFAR program. Real people desperately need the PEP/PrEP services in this country.
Does 'traffic' measurement services take into account big events like #SONA2025? It's unbelievable the numbers of roads closed for this event in Cape Town. Just open parliament and get to work. So much time is wasted in an economy where we do not have the money for it.

Would be cool if some local news agencies can fully investigate this @news24. Sad how the South African Government takes high risk low reward partnerships.
Grok tells me that that over the last decade, South Africa has received around $6.6 billion in aid from the U.S., with a substantial portion dedicated to fighting HIV/AIDS. And no funding from Russia.
