Twitter mobs demonstrate our inability to read thoroughly, to think through an idea, to listen to the end before making judgment. It speaks either of our stupidity or our profound intolerance for difference of opinion.

In the Outrage Age our anger is just fueling someone else's machine. And so we are encouraged to produce more shouting, less listening, more outrage, less understanding, more conflict, less resolution. Someone is profiting and it's not us and it's not our democracies.

Just caught the last show of #Tswalo which I've been wanting to see since I missed it in Joburg. Absolutely incredible. Never seen an Ovation award so literally well deserved, audience was on their feet before the lights had faded. @billyplcom is Amazing!!! #NAF18
Met @KwasukelaBooks yesterday. Started a vernac publishing company with a small amount of money from his wedding gifts!!!! And learnt to do a lot himself. Sometimes you just have to make the change you want to see in the world
So proud to call this man my friend, the knowledge he has is awe inspiring. Mbuso Khoza and the KZN Heritage Ensemble is a blend of music and history, beautiful and incredibly interesting. I could listen for hours. #NAF2018 #decolonisingourhistory
