People with actual jobs are drowning in debt & borrowing money just to survive until the next payday. If salary earners can't even manage till the end of the month in this economy, how do you expect them to have a two-month emergency fund? It’s incredibly hard out there, man.
If an unemployed friend has gone quiet on you, don’t take it personal. They are likely just trying not to be a burden. Things are hard for everyone right now, but trying to navigate this economy with absolutely no job/support is a terrifying reality. Still check on them though.
Just reading through some research about gambling in South Africa (online and casinos) for a project I’m doing at work.
Team. It is WAY more disgusting than we think.

South Africa is, by and large, a land of impunity. I guess that’s why the Madlanga Commission feels so satisfying; it offers a glimpse of what accountability might look like.
BREAKING : The NPA has confirmed that it’s received the letter from Andrea Johnson (where she requests for permission to resign with immediate effect without serving notice), and it’s “considering” it. The letter was also sent to the President, who is the appointing head.
Good Morning @Anele we know it’s last minute but we are asking for some sponsorship for our under 14 netball girl learners who will be competing in Boksburg on the 31st July to 02 Aug. We have learnt that neither the district office or provincial government will be assisting us.
I’m not asking for donations. I’m not looking for handouts.
What I need is work. Bookings.
If there’s any way I can add value to your business through my web-designs and digital marketing , please reach out.

Maya Angelou with her husband, South African anti-apartheid activist Vusumzi Make, c 1961. They met in New York, married in Ghana, and moved to Cairo, Egypt. Their romance began around 1960 when Make was in New York petitioning the United Nations against apartheid. Smitten, Angelou packed up her life and moved to Cairo, Egypt, with her son Guy. While in Cairo, Make worked as a PAC representative, and Angelou became the editor of the English-language Arab Observer newspaper. However, the marriage was short-lived. Angelou and Make faced significant political stress and emotional hurdles, and the relationship ultimately dissolved. Source: All God's children need Travelling Shoes, Wikipedia, Yoshika Lowe.
Another societal behaviour we, as South Africans, ought to examine, interrogate and change as a matter of urgency is our collective disregard for the law. We cannot absolve ourselves by pointing fingers at outsiders who appear to have no regard for our laws. When it is us who have set the tone. We have normalised and enabled lawlessness in countless ways, both big and small, and in doing so we have created an environment in which others simply follow the rotten foundations we have already established.
This culture of contempt for the rule of law is among the principal drivers of the corruption that has become endemic in both the public and private sectors. We tend to look at corruption as a game only played by politicians through tenders, yet it is a game that begins when society collectively decides that the law is optional, that rules are for other people, and that compliance is negotiable.
We are therefore not only participants in lawlessness and corruption ; we are, too often, its enablers. Our outrage at corruption will remain selective and our efforts to defeat it will yield very little if we ourselves don’t change.
PS. For every corrupt foreign national, be they Portuguese, Greek, Chinese, European or African; there is a South African involved!
