Kudlala ngabantu abamnyama on this nonsense Matatiele Local Municipality Spaza Shop Programme. R5K is peanuts and it should have at least R50K per Spaza Shop Owner. Further more, I don't understand that why Certificate Of Acceptability should be submitted?

There’s a list of general workers of whom all come from the same school & area in the Eastern Cape. A bus was brought from the Eastern Cape to Ekurhuleni carrying general workers whilst the youth & people who grew up in Ekurhuleni remain UNEMPLOYED. @City_Ekurhuleni @nkosindiphile_x

Day 3: A total distance of 489km is anticipated, with approximately 75% of the route comprising dirt and gravel roads.
The @VolkswagenSA powered by a 2.3L petrol engine producing 222kW and 452Nm, effortlessly navigated the 72km gravel stretch from Swartberg to Matatiele(P604), demonstrating exceptional refinement.

Despite the presence of protruding small rocks on the gravel surface, the Amarok's suspension system proved highly capable, allowing the vehicle to maintain speeds of up to 115km/h with great comfort.

The varying terrain, which included sandy gravel with red, brown, and grey dust, occasionally reduced visibility, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a safe distance from other road users.
Nonetheless, the route itself is one of the most enjoyable dirt roads I have had the pleasure of driving on, making the experience feel far removed from typical road driving.

The ease with which the Amarok traversed the terrain was remarkable, much like a hot knife slicing through butter.

The petrol version's quiet operation and refined nature contributed to a decidedly car-like driving experience. Despite the day's progress, the journey ahead remains substantial, and the challenge awaits. @VWGAnews
