For the uninformed amongst us, there is currently an anti-crime action group urging you to drive with your car’s headlights on at all times, not only at night. This will hopefully shed some light on the situation, and who knows it might even make the lights go on in government who is completely in the dark about the fact that we are spending millions of hard earned money on security systems and insurance just to protect ourselves and what is rightfully ours. I suppose generalizing like that is also not fair as our president has given the go ahead for the new R80 million wall to be erected (no pun intended) around his residence, while he claims that the public exaggerate the threats of crime.
Maybe we are exaggerating people! The helicopter circling above Pretoria East every night might be the new Skattejag series being filmed, or OJ Simpson might have moved into the area that the police are just watching his Ford Bronco chasing down Hans Strjidom. My insurance premium on my car went up by 165% last week, not because I claimed, just because my type of car is the most popular on the road these days, not popular amongst drivers, but rather cash in transit specialists. Getting to my home is no easy task anymore, with fingerprint and number plate recognition, smartcards and e-tags in place, don’t think you are assured of access granted, yesterday I was informed that “yur card is not wekking!”, but no complaints, I can’t wait to stand in the line again for 45min, after I’ve been there twice before, it gives one the perfect opportunity to get to know one’s dodgy neighbors, as they say rather the devil you know than the devil you don’t……..ok this was not supposed to be such a long blog, ….. I got a bit carried away……where is my cell phone!!!!!!!
