All items looted over the past few days can be returned for a full refund.

I think all the protesters have now potentially contracted COVID due to lack of COVID protocols and we can say good buy to "waves" or the "3rd wave" as its transformed and gained momentum so welcome the "1st TSUNAMI"...It has now gained momentum and nothing can stop it considering inertia.

Just when you think matters cant possibly get any worse.

The snowball effect.

The president also asked that everyone must watch when he talks tonight .. everyone have tv's now :))))

Only in SA do we have humor although the country is burning ..

Eskom always has the last say. Your stolen tv is no more than a tinted mirror without electricity.

Here's a little experiment to try for those of you working from home.

Ignore the news, ignore whatsapp groups, opinions and stories on the internet or from friends, colleagues and family. Do this for just one week.

Pick one person you trust implicitly, and ask them to let you know if anything happens which would directly impact your personal life.

Shut out everything else.

If you are punting, punt, but again, avoid discussing the outside world.

Get outside more. Listen to the birdsong. Exercise more if you can.
Meditate more. Read / watch some fiction. Renew or take up interest in a hobby. Listen to music.
Greet strangers in passing. Talk to friends (again, about the things we should be grateful for and avoid talking current affairs or politics or anything like that).
Do some extra charitable acts. Get a coffee and find a socially isolated spot to watch people for a while (not near a school please).

Give that a try for a week, and if you can, journal your daily experience.

Life in SA is pretty fucking great for so many of us, if you just enjoy each day for what it is.

And quit the ESA forum which is the one thing you failed to do.

Winter is upon us, no escaping from its cold.

I'm probably going to get a lot of flack for this but I saw an inspirational post on Facebook where people are offering help to businesses affected to assist them with cleaning up or rebuilding with whatever resources they have, be it to go pick up garbage with a bag or offer other help throughtheir businesses such as construction or painting. I think as a country we need to forget that the government is going to do what they should be doing. Yes it is our tax money, but sitting back is not going to help rebuild this country. If it hasn't happened in the last few decades its not going to happen now. It is our country after all, not the government's and we should all do our part to protect and rebuild it, the whole country for all of us not just our little corner of the world. What joy is "I told you everything will go to shit" going to bring us when there is nothing left for us, our kids and our grand kids? Bragging rights? A Nostrodamus award? Id rather help build a functioning country for all South Africans. So I'm going to see where I can do my bit, however small, to rebuild what we have. I know the ESA community consists of people from all walks of life who can all make a contribution big and small. Let's leave politics out of it. All I'm asking is that you think about this and maybe you can contribute in some way to rebuild this land we all call HOME.

Or we could just bomb the shops where looters are busy.. since they already destroyed everything.... its just preventing the next shop from being looted and destroyed...

Only in S.A...we make a former prisoner a president and a former president a prisoner....LOL...


Jokes aside...I like the way Mr. White thinks!
