Saffa Poet

Lover of books with a special place for poetry. Trying to fill the unforgiving minute with 60 seconds worth of distance run. A place to share my poetry

Can you believe this was once the beautiful station of Touwsrivier where I was taken off the train to play Craven Week! What a shame! #myheartbleads for SA #destruction #looting

@FionaZerbst @CarlBovisNature This quote from #JordanPeterson came to mind: Life is suffering. What do you think about it Dr Fiona & Carl? We must be kind to each other and by doing that limit each other's suffering, our obligation to humanity. https://t.co/bJsIIo8NAy

@FionaZerbst I am flying out on Tuesday to South Korea, will need to read this. Thanks

With the Vaal Dam more than 90% full, the water restrictions in Gauteng don’t stem from a lack of supply, but rather from power failures caused by ageing infrastructure. Daily Maverick unpacks what the emergency war room says it needs to do to address ... https://t.co/YvzHcb1B8v

@FionaZerbst Me too! I think I have been stumped by 2 now... 🙈 From 164...

[Saffa Poet @PoetSaffa]

@FionaZerbst Will think and listen to people at work and hear their stories. Interesting topic.

@FionaZerbst 5# Poverty breeds poverty? It takes an exceptional sportsman or academic at school to break the cycle and get out into a Uni/Technicon. Uni's can't lower bar to accommodate mass of poor students. Like Unisa being accused of a degree factory due to poor programmes.

@FionaZerbst 4# Here's an interesting question: Do any young couples, households between 25 - 35 (new working class) save any money besides mandatory pension fund deductions from salary? I highly doubt it.

[Saffa Poet @PoetSaffa]

@FionaZerbst 2A# the cost of employing a caregiver / day school for young children while parents have to work... 🙈 Pre normal school 6 months of Age to 5 years of Age...

[Saffa Poet @PoetSaffa]

@FionaZerbst 2# Normally both parents have to now work in order to make ends meat. Mothers don't spend as much time instilling good manners, morals, ethics, communication skills etc in kids as they used to. Left to elitist, expensive schools to do so. Family time is less.

@FionaZerbst You are in my prayers, when I buried my own father it was tough. However, this is the better order of life, your mum did not have to bury you!
