My photo yesterday seemed to be popular, possibly due to the overlap of people who love hot air balloons and the plains of South Africa. This is my full post and photoset from that day, a 50th birthday present from my mum. Includes dawn views and many animal sightings https://www.emminlondon.com/2024/05/safari-flight-air-ventures-hot-air-balloon.html #TravelTuesday #SouthAfrica #HotAirBalloon

"... growers survive a price-cost squeeze that formal wages could not have survived. It let the government avoid choosing between food-price inflation and rural unemployment. It let consumers eat cheaply. The cost of making all of that work was carried by people with no vote, no recourse, and now, it turns out, no protection. When a political movement decided to make them the target, they absorbed that cost too, by fleeing.” https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/opinionista/2026-07-28-migrant-exodus-exposes-the-hidden-truth-behind-sas-unemployment-paradox #southafrica #xenophobia

Crested Barbets roost in holes in trees. They are very vocal, the call being a trill that can continue for long periods. Crested Barbets are aggressive towards other birds in their territory and chase off both nest competitors such as other Barbets and other birds such as doves and thrushes #southafrica #nature #biodiversity

FokOffMense is South Africa’s spam block and POPIA toolkit

Block community-flagged spam on Android, send formal POPIA opt-outs, and monitor breaches — one SA account, no ads. iOS users can use the website, but there is no iOS app yet (probably also because iOS does not allow apps to take control of the dialler, which is why TrueCaller was so broken for me when I had an iPhone). This app actually takes control of the Android dialler (otherwise calls cannot be blocked) and accesses / adds to the blocked numbers list on the phone. It is not a caller ID app so you won’t see the names identified of callers, but if the number has been reported by 10 or more other users as spam, it will be blocked (as well as for SMS). You have the option of reporting a number in the app to the community, and you can go even further to file a formal POPIA report, which is mailed out through the app’s server, so not from your own e-mail. The 10 number requirement is to stop individuals trying to block their spouse for example from everyone. But looking at the list I see some genuine call centres I need to get calls from (who probably spam non-customers) so it seems you can select those numbers from the Community Shield, or not. There is a free tier to try which gets you 5 POPIA request per month, 5 Community Shields blocks per month, and one e-mail monitor. The next tier is at R29 per month for 45 Community Shield blocks and 5 POPIA requests per month. The Premium tier is R99 per month, and Family tier for R279 per month for up to 5 people. Every plan includes privacy scans, a full exposure report, unlimited spam reports and blocking, and Gmail spam upload and email filters. Whilst TrueCaller will give caller ID and call blocking, and allow reporting into its crowdsourced block list, it has no POPIA reporting, nor privacy scans, exposure reporting, or Gmail spam filtering.

https://mybroadband.co.za/news/energy/659076-first-of-its-kind-solar-power-plant-in-south-africa-built-right-under-eskoms-nose.html I am glad that another large scale #PV power project has come online. But then my confusion starts. They built a PV power plant, to power a...coal mine. exclusively. no grid feedin. A coal mine that feeds a monster-sized coal powered power plant (that feeds national grid) Are we, as a civilization, really this fucken stupid? *checks notes* ok, seems we are. fuck. #SouthAfrica #Electricity #ClimateChange
