@hmsouthafrica Is there any way to improve the efficiency of your store assistants? Waiting in line for 20 minutes to pay is quite ridiculous... This V & A waterfront branch is awful!

The City of Cape Town has stirred a hornet's nest. For decades journalists, citizens, researchers, and senior police officers have warned of the dangers of the taxi bosses, a national mafia which hides under the veil of an essential service. They attacked the Rea Via bus network in Johannesburg and the army had to be deployed, but there were no consequences for them.
They embarked on a national strike in 2008, shut down Johannesburg, shot at the police and civilians, but there were no real consequences for them.
They gunned each other down in successive bloody wars over routes, but there were no consequences for the ones who called the shots.
Now that they are being challenged by legitimate authority the true shape of this monster is being revealed for all to see. National government has ceded power to taxi bosses through negotiations as they have with other organised crime bosses around the country.
In doing so the ANC itself has been infiltrated by criminals. Look at the murders of ANC councillors in KZN using taxi hitmen. Did the ANC come out against the taxi bosses when their own members were using hired taxi hitmen to kill people in their own organisation? They did not, because they have been co-opted into the cycle of a violent criminal economy.
The taxis bosses, and other crime bosses, have taken over from the state in townships like Khayelitsha.
That is why when Fikile Mbalula wore both the police minister and transport minister hats the Metrorail Central Line in Cape Town, which up to 2017 served hundreds of thousands of people with cheap transport, died and could never be resurrected.
The ANC has systematically ceded power to thugs and the state lost its ability to govern in townships around the country.
People in these communities live in fear. They are held at ransom, and they cannot speak out. They are thankful for any patronage that the township crime lords give because in their situation it's the small mercies that count. You just hope the madman ruling in your area is generous.
If the City of Cape Town and Western Cape Government finds a way to curb this violence without buckling under the unlawful demands of this mafia they may regain ground which was lost by the state.

Woke up in a world where Max Verstappen is the F1 champion and DD Mabuza is my president. 2021, you relentless rat.

1300 people are reported missing and more than 80 found dead during the #Germany & #Belgium floods. My heart goes out to the bereaved families. May they find the strength to bear this loss.

Be careful of barking dogs. The route to success is littered with lots of dogs barking to disturb your focus. Don't allow them to steal your joy or distract you. Keep focused because you’ll never reach your destination if you keep stopping to throw stones at every dog that barks!
