  • We’re seeing an increase in coordinated attacks on water, power and comms infrastructure.
  • Looting is no longer just a daily thing, but is also now becoming more structured with guerilla planning involved.
  • Our roads no longer exist. Anything that is state run is crumbling.
  • Police fire and hospital resources for the state don’t exist and are also slowly disintegrating.
  • ESKOM - South Africa’s only power producer - is averaging 50% or less power output. Plunging massive parts of our country into rolling blackouts.
  • Grant recipient’s outnumber tax payers like 10 to 1. (Need to work out that number, but it’s definitely up there. They offer nothing to society… just leaches.
  • The decay in general amazes even me. Roads are shot. Infrastructure is collapsing. Anything that isn’t bolted down is stolen, and what is bolted down is grinded off.
  • The cost of living is insane. Fuel is expensive. Medical aid is a luxury that most cannot afford. Food costs are going through the roof. I myself can literally barely pay for new fucking pants. 🤦
  • The SA government now wants to put through EWC and NHI. Expropriation Without Compensation where land is taken from rightful and legal land owners and given to the “previously disadvantaged”. NHI is some national health thing where you use the government for medical aid.
  • Our Navy, Army and Airforce are done. Troops are buying their own boots… army bases are being looted for copper… vehicles and machinery are being canabilised for parts.
  • Our murder rate is higher than the death rate in Ukraine’s current conflict. Higher than an active war zone. 100’ of rapes a day… 1000’s of kidnappings every month. 90 hijackings a day. Farmers being murdered like flies in the most brutal ways imaginable.
  • The only form of public transportation that is operational is the taxi industry. Their mafia tactics have ensured that over the years, they’re the only ones who will operate. They burn and kill anyone who gets in their way.
  • Our rail is dead. Almost the entirety of South Africa’s rail system is non operational.
