Life in South Africa

Wow...
What a country to live in. The things we tolerate in this country in ridiculous.

Our beloved E-Toll.
How did they think that would make sense? No one is going to pay to drive on their own roads. Seriously, these roads have been around longer than most of us have been alive. So why should we pay to use them? Most people have decide to completely boycott this process. They do have a valid point. To top this off, when this came out they offered people the choice. To sign up or not. No one in their right mind would choose to sign up to support government anymore than we already have. I spoke to numerous people who are furious at this.

Now we have to deal with power and water outages too. I wonder often is this South Africa or Somalia? We are not used to this. Now each household needs to make alternate plans for the power and water outages. Kind of makes sense for people to choose to relocate. Living here becomes more and more of a disadvantage. How are we too contend with the top dog countries at this rate. We can't even provide our own country with the basics. Seems now like once a week (or if we're lucky a month) we have lights out. This is not okay. Especially the households with elderly and/or babies. The rest of us can get by fine. Not those two groups. Thankfully I am not in that situation. Though I definitely get annoyed when I can charge Ipads or Smartphones. I'm sure many people would agree that can be quite annoying

Don't get me wrong I am quite aware that we currently have a drought. That has nothing to do with the government. I do though wish they would attempt something to help the matter. I can't imagine how under privileged people in SA are surviving this. Fortunately we are in a position where we can go to a shop to buy water. Not very many people have that luxury. Suppose this should be the part where we come together and unite in this. Help our fellow brethren. It costs most people nothing, but mean the world to others.

Funny when I watch television and see things things people are whining about it. We have become ungrateful brats. How often (if ever) do we take a moment out of our busy days and just be thankful for what we have.

Before you go to bed tonight make a list of all you have to be grateful for before you close your eyes.
