Government Hell 4: Do as I say, not as I do…

Hmm… I think the subtitle was used elsewhere…
I find it hilarious (in a sad, demented, ironical way) that our state president is importing a security wall for his official residence that costs around R90 million (~$12.7 million), especially in light of his view of South Africa’s crime “being under control”. Ha! At that price, I hope the wall comes with sharks with frikkin’ laser beams on their heads!

Don’tcha just love sequels?
I received notice that perhaps, possibly, just maybe the certificates will be available today. I await the call with baited breath. Of course, this means that I’ll have to drive through to Pretoria to go pick the damn things up, and probably queue for ages before I can get them, but, at least it’s better than waiting 12 frikkin’ weeks.
I realise that I just suddenly changed tack a few posts ago, and went off at a tangent about forms and birth certificates etc. At least one of my three readers have probably figured out what I’m up to, but for the others who yet remain in the dark, I’ll provide a hint: It’s got to do with finding a better environment for my kids to live in.
