Good morning Cape Town! Who says that being a taxonomist is boring! In the next 4 days we will collect soil samples from the most crazy places in Cape Town as part of #sassy (aka South African Soil Survey) do you want to join to the team? Let us know @Fabiteam1 @CobusVisagie2
I am in disbelief!
How can we keep going as a people when this is right in our backyard? The struggles of Swazi people is ours and the struggles of Zim people is ours. This is as much SA problem as it is our neigbour brothers and sisters. #freeswazis #swazidemocracustruggle youtu.be/pK9s1bfNhR0
Bees at work! Bees are an integral part of our food and forest systems, the two main economic roots of South Africa. We must do our best to keep it that way.@Fabiteam1 uses modern tech to understand Bs @DALRRDgov_ZA #beesarekingsafterfungi #ecosystens #agricultureza #forestryza

I love to express myself through dancing to music that talks to my spirit as a way to stay connected with thise who came before me and @EnergadeSA has been serving me when I need to rave. #StepUpYourGame and don't sleep on @EnergadeSA
I am so blessed that I got to witness this important event that will change South African Agriculture. Prof Sunesh Maharaj. A man passionate about good quality research. We have the cream of the crop #nationalbiosecurityafricalaunch
The lesson to South Africa is that without unity we are nothing. I have found that no force unites people like self abandonment and seeing oneself in another human. This country is very blessed if we live in unity. We can be examples to those who need to learn from us.
Wisdom is realising that no one is free until we are all free. I don't give a shit what body you wear. This is your probkem too @UnitedNationsTZ the children if eSwatini cry for their land. They fight for their freedom. @JoeBiden @PresidencyZA
Dr Maneshree from the DSI also endorsed this collaboration together with prof Sunesh Maharaj. Here's to working together to rebuild South Africa #nationalbioseciritylaunch
Today we were very honored to host Ms Thokozile Didiza (a woman with a heart for people no matter their status). She embodied that in her speech. It literally touched my heart and I am blessed to serve this country through my love of science, learning #nationalbiosecuritylaunch
