Not just SA Dave. It seems like a global agenda to set the world on a course for chaos.

True Lionel

What is concerning is the rate at which major systemic faults are now appearing at National , provincial , SOE' and Municipal level.

EKSOM, Water Boards, Sewerage plants, Railway infrastructure, Denel, ACSA, Petro SA, Harbors, SAA long gone. Municipalities unable to service debt and in some cases salaries. Most Municipalities outside of the Western Cape drowning in debt and high salary bills. Unemployment crushing hopes of the Black youth, Universities now also being plagued by ANC deployments. And for all this we have 5 trillion rand in government debt that needs to be serviced over the next 30 years.

.....and the hits keep on coming.....get notice on my load shedding app at around 5 this morning.....advising no load shedding....then 5 min later....stage4 and 2 cuts today... 3 tomorrow and repeat repeat repeat and repeat until month end..... :S....and a consignment of solar panels and invertors stuck out at sea.....:sick:

I am on MTN. They have an app called MTN Momo. During load shedding, I buy 1gig for R2 which lasts an hour or alternatively they have 300MB for 1 hour. The 300MB is sufficient to watch races and bet for 1 hour.

The best part is that they give you 1% for any deposit into the app account. The app sells 1voucher which can be used at most online bookmakers. I buy my vouchers there and with the credits given I am getting free data in essence.

Anyone and everyone that loves South Africa should be buying their medication from Clicks or other small pharmacies.

.....never really liked that alterative to Clicks....but what a f@ck @p that founding owner has made.....his new major share holder and majority owner and other franchisees are going to get st@ffed big time....on occasion when I have shopped at the alternative I never ever saw any customers other than white....so if they are as equally offended not only is the share price going to take a dive.....:unsure:
