@eNCA And the banning of alcohol during lockdown. That was a godsend for the black market in alcohol. Govt dug this hole themselves with the idiotic regulations then.

@Matlala_S If he can go there to talk to management, he will go there. But if he is ever sick, he will never go there.

Uhhm - those opportunities are also reserved for a few under BBBEE.

[The Presidency 🇿🇦 @PresidencyZA]

@Paratus2014 Could make a nice math question for the next matric exam though: How many kidnappings does an accused need to have happen to afford bail if each kidnapping brings in R4 000 and the bail is R30000?
