  1. Should start to get a lot more active in prosecuting those who buy the stolen copper and lights, because if there is nobody who buys the stolen scrap there is no market for it. Yes pretty much everywhere you find the street lights are gone, there is a scrapyard within walking distance, with that scrap in it.

  2. SAP seem to regard themselves as report takers, if insured they just give a case number, and nothing else. Not insured they do not really care. Estates often make people lax, they let anybody in, they let people tailgate them, and leave doors open. you also need to have physical security in the home, do not rtely on the outside wall, because it is often very easy for criminals to get through there by one means or the other, and then go looking for the open doors and hidden spots.

  3. Eskom board can never be competent, the selection process selects against competent people, as those who are competent are excluded by every criteria the choosing committee uses, as they need to be followers of ideology, yes people, and willing to pay facilitation fees.

  5. Leopard does not change it's spots, they are so corrupt that they steal, even from the party itself, with impunity.

  6. Yet another case of we cannot enforce the laws we already have on the statute books, so let us go and write a whole raft more of them, often mutually contradictory, and then wonder why they are also being flouted.

  7. Cape town is shocked, come to Durban, where this is an every day thing. At least they leave the poles, here the pole is cut down, because of the little bit of copper and steel in the lamp, and then the pole is cut up as well for crap.

  8. First in line will be the ones in the village in the Cape, then nobody else, because the money will all be gone.

  9. One million in one month, but from previous history it will be one person in a million years.

  10. More than half the police I see around are not wearing masks properly, let alone the public. Another law likely to be selectively enforced.

  11. Drivers do not keep the taxi after hours, it goes to the owner, so the owners are complicit in this as well.

  12. Rural areas you just get murdered in your house.....

  13. 9mm, probably from a certain group that is no 1 for losing firearms. Definitely a hit, and probably over routes and rival groups that want in.

  14. Drove past a lot of police today, near Durban Central, and all of them were wearing masks under the chin. All the other people at most 40% were wearing a mask in the street.

  15. Hopefully they will still prosecute the officials, even if they resign, but I do not think any of them will be told more than "don't be caught doing this again", with nothing else being done.

  16. Not tested, but on the WHO list of essential medication for treating a wide variety of illness. Just nobody wanted to pay for the registration in SA, because there is little to no profit in it, and the costs are so incredibly high for any application. Approved in pretty much every other first, second, third and fourth world country though.

  17. No insurance, no insurer will provide cover to government, so they have to self insure, which means the taxpayers are the ones who pay for this ineptitude.

  18. You mean Dirtbin has competition. Dirty hollow suffers from both poor management and also totally inept council.

  19. No, not voting is saying you are happy with the current ones. You must go vote, there are a lot of parties, choose one you think will do a good job, and vote for them.

  20. Especially the top management, as in regional and national level. Branch managers that are tied because they literally have no working computers, or even paper to print receipts on, is something from the top. For a long time the post office receipt came printed on National Lottery paper, because that was the only paper the whole city post offices actually had. I would take copy paper there for them to use when getting a parcel, because they could not print the documentation they need to have. Even staples and pens for the same reason. Then eventually the branch was closed, but luckily the staff were absorbed into other branches, as I had known them for 20 years at that time. This year I stopped paying for a PO Box, because it got 15 letters other than junk in the year, so went electronic for most and changed to physical address for the rest, and the 6 weeks it takes to send a letter, literally in the same post office building, is beyond a joke. not the staff, who are for the front mostly overwhelmed but still give good service, but the back end and poor top management who are totally out of touch with reality, like most SOE top management are. more concerned with hitting a metric that they made up than actual service.

  21. Yes, and you can collect them from 6 to 9 months later on, if they do not get stolen. Seeing as they lose half of the parcels already, this will just mean more will be lost.

  22. With all his bodyguards, who keep him safe.

  23. Suspended on full pay for the next year or five, till they quietly resign and all charges vanish. Disciplinary process is "naughty, do not get caught next time".

  24. Because it is not illegal to have one, but a lion or other indigenous animal is illegal to have.

  25. Out on bail tomorrow, or the docket got lost. Or they forgot to lock the door on the van.

  26. Ex ministers all get a state pension, though it is a lot higher than that for any other people. Not R2000 per month the SASSA pensioners are expected to survive on.

  27. Every complaint those cameras are going to be "broken", or the video was not working.

  28. Strong material, what about going after the suppliers who gave you inferior material in the first place, or was this another case of the tenderpreneur getting the cheap stuff, and selling like it was made from gold cloth. Even the Proudly SA clothing lines were all made in China.

  29. Give them 10%, but you first retrench the top by 20%, one in 5, and then for all those below middle management retrench one in 10. Close all those positions and remove them, and next year you can do the same for the remaining who want an increase. Public sector has way too many top and middle managers who do literally nothing of value.

  30. Sweep under the carpet, hope that something new comes up, and corruption as usual again.

  32.  @maximummax7  Yes there are certainly plenty of people selling, and you probably will find it easily on Fakebook as well.

  33. Even before the floods the sewage was running in the streets, this was not only from the floods, but from long term neglect, and ignoring the problems. The floods were just another thing that came, because they have been so busy and ignoring the basic maintenance of things like storm water drains and such, that the floods showed were both blocked, neglected and broken. After all heavy rain is not exactly unknown in Durban, and is generally an expected thing to occur.

  34. Tasnat, the company that runs buses where the majority run near empty, and where the schedule and timing can be described as "hopefully some time soon", along with it seems every bus they have has either major damage, or the engine covers are wide open while they drive.

  35. Simplest method to stop this is to only use virtual cards for the transactions, which pretty much every bank offers today. Every online transaction I use a virtual card for that merchant, and only transfer the amount they are taking into it. Only ones that do not have that are those I have long term relations with, where they have proven they do not do this. Note this does not include Metro payments, those are not automatic, but only on invoice, as they mess up that online direct debit all too often. Never give real bank details, only a virtual card, which has all the attributes of a regular debit or credit card, except you can set a hard limit on it, stop it immediately it is used, and change the verification codes right from the banking app if need be.

  36. Note he says people are protecting what they believe is theirs, but which really is regarded as not yet expropriated.

  37. With banking world wide, the USA still believes in cheques, despite so many of them being fraudulent, but the banks do not care, as it still makes them money.

  38. Along with the officers who let them walk for money.

  39. Bolting the stable door, they should be looking at the scrap yards who buy the stolen stuff, and take them to the cleaners, though also the board members responsible for the stopping security should be told to pay back the salaries and benefits they got, for not doing any sort of effective job. Not that you see any copper or brass along the main lines, even those in stations, and even those right next to the security companies that rent the properties from Transnet. 100 plus guards 24/7/365, and they did not see the stuff being stolen literally outside the door Marshall?

  41. He will pop up in 2 days or so, in the bays around the far side of the dam. Normal pattern for the dam is for the body to surface there, or in the far corner by the cliff. Divers looking are not going to find him easily, that water is regularly used by scuba instructors to train people in black water diving, as it is so turbid that even 5m down noon sun is almost invisible there. You dive by feel, and need a ultra strong torch to even see your diving gauges right in front of your face.

  42. Easy, the test was probably not taken by the person whose name is there, and the test was done without them being present, with cash changing hands. Or the test was simply done by the RTI inspector, and the driving test was just filled out and passed, quick and simple.

  43. I used to sit often out there, just inside the shark nets, and watch the big sharks swimming inside the nets. They do nothing to the sharks aside from killing every other thing that swim into them.

  44. Probably he USA and UK, along with France, where the sale is allowed, and where sales have gone through the roof.

  45. Only roughly 10 years after the recall was initiated in the rest of the world. Wonder how many people have been killed by this in this case.

  46.  @truth-Hurts375  To the AWB and the countrie tannies it was extreme porn, no amount of stars or stripes could cover that there were women in there, wearing less than head to toe cover.

  47. Taxi owners are averse to card payment, because then they cannot evade declaring income and paying tax on the money.

  48. Only place doing this is vehicle licence, who work Saturday and Sunday now. Got my renewal this Saturday, after applying in February. Just get the eye test done at any optometrist, and bring that form and the money, plus a black pen, along with ID and old license.

  49. Considering that alcohol is almost a pure calorie, yes you also gain a lot of weight. IIRC 2 beers is basically equal to a full meal calorie wise, and you normally eat a meal with it as well.

  50. Very slippery slope that, soon it will be filtering everything, including the school itself, because it might have a bit of something that somebody somewhere finds offensive, so it gets filtered out. Better to actually be a parent, and teach your children, and be a little more involved with what they are doing, rather than simply put them in the corner and ignored. Used to occur before the widespread use of Internet when they got copies of those scandalous magazines, You, Scope, and those scandalous books that the library should ban, like Lady Chatterlies lover, Shakespeare, 1984, the entire encyclopedia, the Bible and Quran along with the Torah, because all of those have either had images, text, or thoughts, that somebody considered to be impure at some time. Ban them all, including all children's books, because some might be offensive. Then all adult books as well, because some are not suitable for children.
