Home from guarding and patrolling with my 3 sons, youngest 13. We have been guarding and patrolling 18 hr days. Been shot at & attacked in Durban but our area is not breached. Limited essentials available (bread/milk are gold) & no fuel. Air is thick with smoke. We are exhausted

It's crazy. Lots of us trying to prevent looting are self employed, so no income coming in while we do this when it was tough already in the Covid economy. Yet fight back we must. As communities standing together we've got this. Despite the destruction this has brought us closer

Lots of us have lost so much (jobs, income, businesses) due to our Govmt useless Covid response. Some like mates & I have lost everything.We are NOT going to lose our families & the little we have left. We struggle to put food on the table only to have these savages steal it.

@GillyT20 An ex president, who has been facing numerous corruption charges for years was finally jailed last week. Some of his supporters are protesting but to be honest, most of the chaos is people who are uneducated savages have just used it as an excuse..

This is the saddest time of the year for me. This year has broken me. Barely hanging on by a thread. There will be no gifts, no fancy meal, no gathering with friends and family. I feel I have failed my sons. But somehow, by God's grace, I will lift myself up and try again..

@ValentineZikki @GillyT20 The current ANC leadership treat their own kind a lot worse.. The country has only deteriorated under their leadership.. But zero accountability.. It's always someone else's fault. Even if they go back hundreds of years to absolve themselves.

Many of us also served in the military in the 80's. The problem is the racial lawas as well as the fact that they KNOW we are honest and have integrity, so we won't put up with the rampant corruption often needed here to get ahead... so we suffer for our high morals

To my tweeps in the UK. I am following what's going on. You are slowly but surely losing your identity as a nation. You are being systematically and carefully overrun. It happens slowly. Before you know it your country will no longer be yours. React now. Its almost too late

I have a simple question. Every Govt dept has a deputy minister. When the main guy gets suspended /put on special leave etc, surely there should be no issue replacing him or her? Why the confusion? Or is the deputy just there to keep a cadre happy and paid?
