sharing books & a few other things I like that you might like too

@RobynPorteous Loved Flashlight - beautifully written, compelling storytelling. Fascinating look at history of Korea, China and Japan of which I know nothing. Only a chapter into Motherland but gripped already. So yes to both

@xnxhamster Alsations? From the region of Alsace?

[Bronwen @ruthbnormal]

@mfullard2 That is just crazy!

@my_azania @Abramjee Historically the bulldozing of District 6 and the scattering of residents across different communities contributed to the current war zone, hellhole.

@PaulMarcoe CFCs and the hole in the ozone layer

@bbscamera @dieworkwear To be fair, zippers can be challenging. Nothing like catching a bit of neck skin in a zipper 😬

[Bronwen @ruthbnormal]

@bbscamera @dieworkwear My mother trained as a nurse in the UK in the late 50s and said she had to see to a number of men admitted to ER with their bits caught in zips. The new fangled clothing tech was a challenge!

@Tlhaxdova Will never forget when an old lady fell near the bottom and all her friends crashed into her & there was a tangle of limbs, luggage handles & grey hair. We dropped our bags over the side & jumped the geriatrics. Fun time!

[Bronwen @ruthbnormal]

@Thato__M Yes! It's great!

@s_lebs @MbekezeliMB Sadly I think a lot of the historic documents (handwritten deeds) are not backed up, particularly those deeds & documents relating to land dispossession.

@RediTlhabi Arguably @RediTlhabi has both depth & warmth so more than fine

@riridiamond7912 @CapeTown_Bru Straight up!

[Bronwen @ruthbnormal]

@SupaVanSA @aynrandfontein No hun, I don't mean that. But have you seen the state of PRASA land & infrastructure? And PRASA simply does not engage, like doesn't even answer the phone. So any attempt to clean PRASA surrounds is undermined by PRASA. And that's 1 example

@aynrandfontein @jozivsjozi Honestly waiting for the burning of tyres in suburban roads

[Bronwen @ruthbnormal]

@aynrandfontein But if you compare your photos vs @jozivsjozi yours show mostly rampant informal settlement in open spaces. Should it be handled differently? For sure? Has the DA dropped the ball here? No doubt.

[Bronwen @ruthbnormal]

@aynrandfontein @jozivsjozi But the @jozivsjozi pics show a collapse that looks post-apocalyptic or like a war zone! No water, no electricity, massive rates, kak billing (and attitude) from the City

[Bronwen @ruthbnormal]

@aynrandfontein @jozivsjozi Would the city leaders & managers from Joburg, or any other big metropolitan in SA, do a better job?
