Fears and thoughts in South Africa

Yes Muhtiman, the powers that be sit and decide what restrictions can be eased but have no idea what is actually allowed or when it should be allowed or whether what they are allowing should be allowed or whether they are allowed to allow or whether it will upset certain Ministers after it is allowed ( our beloved Minister Mrs DZ who proposed eating beetroot to combat HIV ) or whether to do a u turn or whether............ FFS I give up.

.....FFS there is so much grey area where these sharks just love to hunt...no one can lay down an actual clear policy very and reminiscent of our own NHRA and their "guidelines".....:S

I belive our government came to the decision to re ban cigs on the basis of 2000 objectors.
Since yesterday evening a website called "petition unbanning cigarettes South A frica" has accumulated over 300000
enries all giving contact details of each person and is now rapidly heading for 500000!

....and so much for democracy.....:S

and France is testing NICOTINE as a potential barrier against the virus. (I've stopped smoking before Covid but I think I would be pretty antsy if I was forced to stop - BUT I do remember my SADF days when Cigarettes were limited and rationed)

I think it was the deceased Manto Tsabalala - I think after last night I will refer to the minister as Dr ZOL -

.....now this fickle govt have suddenly gone off purchasing masks sanitizer and other covid related safety products as there does not seem to be enough meat on the bone for them anymore....they even have withdrawn support in aiding prompt customs clearance for importing masks gloves and protective ware ...we have morphed to now supply the private sector companies and offer all in packages with full protective gear including prefabricated mobile spray tunnels using our sanitizer products ....:whistle:

Morning all on what should be last day , might have to change the heading?

We should find out about the final decision on horse racing today via Vee and Oscar?
Very difficult call but will be magic if we get the go ahead.

Its possible we could go back home this weekend, just considering logistics and required documents.

The bin guys were here this morning, all happy to see old Scotia and in good spirit in the rain. Champions.

Well a song ?
Again not in the mood but its a long weekend, how ironic.

Lets take something from the stones and dedicated to the frustrated smokers and drinking SA citizens

.....suggestion for a new heading....life at level 4......
