The world's weight (300 million tonnes) in plastic is produced annually 🛄
It becomes plastic waste that's often exported 🚢
Here's more on why Africa is becoming the "dumping ground for discarded plastic." 🌍 👇

We typically try to make sense of paradoxes using cold logic. But if we ask what they tell us about human intuition, we can improve the way we understand the world around us, says philosopher Margaret Cuonzo bit.ly/33kLE7M

In 1951, Adelbert Ames created the mind-boggling ‘Ames Window’; a rectangular window that appears to be shaped like a trapezoid.
The optical illusion appears as if a window is oscillating back and forth when, in reality, it was rotating on a turntable.

Why are we all still pretending that cell phones and laptops can actually affect the airplane.

Too special ... 🧡
Some joy under #Covid19SA: chanced upon an open @ExclusiveBooks today. I rushed in. Then I overheard a man telling a woman that she is beautiful. She said how could he know? They were both wearing masks.
Because of the book you are reading, he said.
True story.
I think he is in.
So ingenuous, have to admire the dedication and determination to channel a path, find a way ... 🤭🏃🏽♀️🏃🏽😷 @SayEntrepreneur @ryansandes @BruceFordycerun @elanameyer @ashraforrie @AlexPeel8 @lindadoke @kanereilly11 @mauricemdlolo @thembabaloyi @paulsimpson27
Western Cape surging ahead, 5,000 national cases, we’re not even remotely through this thing yet ...
According to @DrZweliMkhize, there are now 4996 positive cases of #COVID19 in SA. The total amount of deaths as result of the virus is now 93. Here is the provincial breakdown:
WC - 1870
GP - 1377
KZN - 919
EC - 616
FS - 113
LIM - 31
NW - 29
NC - 17
On it, quite correct ...
I feel that the #Covid19SA lockdown is not going to easily transition into Levels.
The moment Ramaphosa handed over the details to his Ministers, their lacklustre energy has shifted the national mood from solidarity to fragmented confusion and anger.
#ExtendTheLockdown? #COVID19
Been saying same since February, engage with Senegal, land these innovative kits, high speed, low cost, potential game changer ... @MaxduPreez @DrZweliMkhize @CyrilRamaphosa @PresidencyZA @camerondugmore @alanwinde @ravinaidoo @designindaba @Discovery_SA #COVID19 #Fresh #Design
If this is real and reliable, why does @DrZweliMkhize not get test kits from Senegal instead of complaining that we cant get enough from the US and elsewhere?
Cautious optimism ... Vaclav Havel, it seems ... @camerondugmore #COVID19
