Sunny South Africa...

First world technology crippled, again. The Gautrain bus service has been "out of commission" because of a driver strike. This weekend, cables that support this service were stolen, so the Gautrain goes nowhere...

Who will pay? The minority of already over burdened tax payers. While Malema acts as an investor scarecrow, we will fit the bill, again.

Why is the Government soft on crime? Because they make Billions from taxes paid by private security companies. It is a profitable little sidekick while the some policeman rape, murder and steal.

"Proudly South African" rolls over my tongue like vinegar...

Not to mention him wanting to buy another farm, and putting down huge cash deposits...

I will go grab my hammer in the mean time.

In South Africa we live in Heaven...

We heaven got electricity, we heaven got basic services, we heaven got this, and we heaven got that...

Strikers should be shot! Instigators should be shot, scarecrows should be shot!

A friend of mine attempted to ride the Gautrain on Monday, which was a working day. The train was 42 minutes late. The buses weren't running. It took them 20 minutes to get from the Centurion station to Old Joburg road due to "technical difficulties". There was no circulation in the train, so it was very stuffy and hot.
The seats are smaller than a cheap airplane, the luggage space won't hold anything more than a cat and there is no space to put a bag under your seat.
Well, that is what they told me.

I will not be using that big inconvenience thank you.
I have been paying toll fees (Zambezi off-ramp) for MANY years already, I will just pay a bit more and get to use leather seats, air-con, ample space, freedom, etc. and won't be affected by bus driver strikes.

The Northern Cape Province is NICE!! :whistle:

We are fighting NATIONALIZATION of the mines on this side!!! :pinch: BUT its coming!! :pinch:

"... the silver-tongued leader of the ruling ANC's Youth League, has its roots in the frustrations and anger of millions of young blacks rather than practical reality."

I wouldn't be too worried about the nationalisation of the mines:

and as for the transport issue:

Commuting on a bike seems more and more like the most economical option...
I find it very hard to be reliant on an, lets face it, highly unrelaible public transport system
