“It is now a quarter past seven and here follows the news at seven...” Everything shifts, changes, disasters and plagues have hit us. Once there was power, water, only women and men, but not anymore. Semi-migration to the Western Cape? You had a four-bedroom house with a swimming pool and a room for your domestic worker. Not anymore either. Frequent conspiracies, sorry, discussions and commissions of inquiry. Phase 8 load shedding: A Babylonian confusion in the dark. And in the middle of it all, you still have to renew your driver’s license. “Lekker man, lekker.” Do you think this is laughable? Are you laughing yet? If not, you will – until it hurts.
