So it is hardly surprising that Port Elizabeth currently are experiencing a water crisis in the form of unsafe water which you need to boil first before drinking.
Elsewhere in the country thereās also water quality issues, and things look to get worse going forward.
All of this due to BEE and cadre deployment.
Iām ok for now, have a place where I get drinking water on contract, which is safe for consumption, and I think a lot of people will start to do the same.
Africa at its finest.
We had high hopes for a better country after Apartheidās dismantled, but it did not happen. Instead we now have another form of Apartheid where job selection is not based on merit or experience, but rather on who you know and political appointments.
Another factor is the enforcement of BEE (Black Economic Empowerment) which does nothing but to enrich a select few individuals. Yet the hoi polloi still thinks it is the greatest thing since sliced bread, and they still blame others for their situation.
Going forward it seems that Putinās actions in the Ukraine is going to have far-reaching consequences for Europe and the rest of the world as well.
I want to get off this planet. Now.
edited to add :
Is this Putinās Anschluss?
First Ukraineā¦
Then Polandā¦
ā¦and taking back all the previous territory that belonged to the former USSR, and that includes East Germany and Berlin.
Ifā¦ science fiction means things like star wars, star trek etc,
and fiction means most storiesā¦ thenā¦
ā¦would friction mean porn?

I have discovered the best cola on the market in Britain. Itās made by a company called Fever Tree and might be available elsewhere, but guys if you want a cola that actually tastes of cola (the fruit, not the synthetic caramel of Bepis nor Cukacola) try to find it.
Itās expensive mind; Ā£1.80/500mL to Pepsiās Ā£1.20/2L.

Fever Tree is available all over. We have it in Canada and Iāve tried the tonic water. It was good in a drink, but yes ā¦ pretty spendy.
What Iām trying to find is a decent ginger beer. You know what I mean. It should burn through the back of your neck while it sends the top of your head spinning off into the neighbourās yard. Old Jamaican grandmother ginger beer. I used to be able to depend on a company named Grace to make it properly, but they changed years ago to a more sugary recipe. A Canadian major grocery chain used to make one that fit the bill, but they caved as well. Itās grocery day tomorrow, so I may have another look around.

I love Dark and Stormys and the Ginger is more important than the rum in my opinion. I have tried tons, and really the best I find are small bottlers, the problem is sometimes I accidentally buy a ginger nuclear bomb.

When did the simpler āas a precautionā get replaced with āout of an abundance of cautionā? And why?
Inflation of terms. And instead of using a more complicated word they use multiple simpler and more common ones.

It has been confirmed that Russian soldiers dug in artillery positions in Chernobyl. It has also been confirmed that the ones captured have no idea what the area was famous for or that there was even a nuke plant there.
Locals are already saying āThe Russians left Chernobyl, but Chernobyl will never leave themā Very likely that any soldier who was there for any period of time breathed in enough radioactive dust and crap to be a death sentence in the next few year.
