I wish by no means to minimalise the trauma that people are experiencing living in times of attrition.
Not knowing what tomorrow will bring, least of all the next hour of your wretched life, must be unimaginably stressful.
People of all ages, but especially those of tender ages, will never be totally ‘normal’ in their day-to-day living in their futures when the bombing stops!
As I said, by no means making small of those scenes of conflict, how pleasant it would be here in our wonderful country pinched in to the toe of Africa, to go back to normal life.
Whenever a challenge arises which threatens the tranquility of the water in the pond, a special group of people are called together to investigate and resolve the problem.
Failing that, a cohort of our leader is called to serve (at about R180 000 per month) us fellow South Africans.
Do not forget his entourage/office staff and their emoluments.
Therefore, with all the available and suitably skilled and officially blessed and appointed persons, our wonderful country on the toe of Africa should be fixed and up and running at 100% capacity.
I wonder what it is really like to not have to plan one’s life around Eskom’s loadshedding and wondering when one’s water supply will be cut off?
Please do not forget that ‘we apologise for the inconvenience’. How sweet!
How naïve for us to believe they actually care about us – their fellow South Africans. I still wonder what it is like to live a normal life.
FELLOW SOUTH AFRICAN
