It is here. Okay, sure. It was always here. But now it’s right on my doorstep. The wife of a minister on one of my podcasts. Somebody in my sister’s complex. Heck. Someone in my parent’s complex! And if that wasn’t close enough, my cousin and his entire family living in Boksburg. Too close for […]

Bureaucracy is the worst of humanity. Arbitrary rules being imposed on the unsuspecting public, mostly from air conditioned offices. This is how not to govern. Take a gander of this article from a local knock and drop. This is what journalism is all about! Charity begins at home! They say the road to hell is […]
