I am also absolutely certain that @jsteenhuisen and @helenzille already know about this video as it is circulating among DA employees, many of whom are appalled by these appointments.

Video in which Renaldo Gouws and Roman Cabanac discuss how Roman can’t listen to Queen because Freddie Mercury was gay, and also that his death from AIDS is proof that God exists. Cc @jsteenhuisen @helenzille
In its insistence on taking a “brave stand” against the “woke mind virus” and “cancel culture” the DA leadership is willing to ride roughshod over what we hope will be the very basic GNU values of decency and inclusivity.
“But the ANC is worse”. Sure. The ANC-run government also fired spokesperson Mcintosh Polela for a homophobic tweet: iol.co.za/news/south-afr…
@ForeverShakes Hi! You can email me on [email protected] :)
Cape Town launch of my new book 'Self-Helpless', tomorrow (Wed) at Book Lounge at 5.30 for 6pm!
Rebecca Davis retweeted
Also, in today's Cape Times, my review of #SelfHelpless by @becsplanb! (I saw three strangers discussing the review and the book in a coffee shop this morning - quite a surreal experience.)
Tomorrow (Friday 14 Sept) I'll be in conversation with John Maytham at the @CapeTalk studios about my new book 'Self-Helpless' at 17h00. You're invited to join us - just SMS your name, ID number & the word 'BOOK' to 31567, and come!
@lynn_chambers Thank you! I am, yes - it's the week after the Joburg launch, will tweet details next week :)
If you're in Joburg next Wednesday 19 September, I'll be launching my new book 'Self-Helpless' at Love Books in Melville, 18h00, and I'd love to see you there.
My partner @Sage_Of_Absurd and I have produced a feature on gay Muslims. It was hard to research and will be unpopular in some circles, but hopefully also helpful to some: dailymaverick.co.za/article/2018-0…
Rebecca Davis retweeted
Don’t touch me on my tekkies! For the ever-provocative columnist Haji Mohamed Dawjee (@Sage_Of_Absurd), tekkies are not just cool but a political statement to people of colour. WIN a signed copy of Sorry, Not Sorry PLUS a pair of @Converse tekkies: bit.ly/2JdpENw
Briefly emerging from Twitter hibernation to say: SEE YOU THERE! Since @Sage_Of_Absurd happens to be my brilliant wife.
Cape Town - RSVP today for the launch of @Sage_Of_Absurd's "Sorry, Not Sorry": next Monday, 5:30 PM at the @book_lounge. She'll be in conversation with none other than @MarianneThamm. (Hier kom 'n ding!)
@RogersDlanga Because you'll end up with a small group of established writers taking up all publication space without room to develop new, fresh talent
I fear part of the #ShelleyGarland fallout will be a reluctance from editors to publish writers they don't know or haven't heard of. Sad.
@EndMaleRule Do you really think the same hoax is going to work twice in a row? Yawn.
