| 1625976206460874752 | @DeanMacpherson So many issues here: 1) Why has data for E.coli been missing from the City's water quality reports 2) It's impossible to pick-up contamination with the naked eye —especially if the contaminants are microbial bacteria or chemical 3) Outfalls are intermittent 4) Alex is no expert https://t.co/ehwHnvHxc1 | 5 |

| 1626532416776019970 | @go2Michelle @CityofCT Do you have any comments of your claims about sewage problem that your video took place at different location @alexlansdowne? Do have any comments about raw sewage being pump into ocean at camp bay, Capetown @DeanMacpherson? Or you both still in denial it's not PROBLEM? | 3 |
| 1626613735862202374 | @go2Michelle Thanks for sharing this short documentary about the on-going sewage issue in Camps Bay. Why would public representatives like @DeanMacpherson and @alexlansdowne so adamantly dispute what is slowly killing them too? It’s hard to question raw (excuse the pun) facts and footage! | 2 |

| 1624691742661386241 | @DeanMacpherson @richardquest @CyrilRamaphosa @PresidencyZA Obviously no response. Probably “SHOCKED” someone would want to have a 2 way dialogue. Chief of Thief doesn’t want questions. | 12 |
| 1625786387969585152 | @DeanMacpherson If you black people are not careful, apartheid will come back and one day we will wake up with whites telling us what to do if Pravin and De Ruyter can fail at Eskom but are not blamed instead it's a black man Mantashe who is not even a minister responsible for Eskom | 8 |
| 1625737843489312769 | @DeanMacpherson Eskom is under Pravin and De Ruyter. Why don’t you ask them? | 7 |
