SA Rocks

Update: Payfine.co.za seems to be back up for the moment!

My blog post about Payfine.co.za from a very long time back on this blog has been a big hit. I thus felt very obligated to alert my readers to the fact that Payfine.co.za seems to be down.

I don’t have any more information than that right now and hopefully it will be back up soon-ish.

For now, keep reading SA Rocks, check out Muti and have a look at the incredible new Mail&Guardian Online!

Sometimes South Africa really confuses me, alot.

Driving to work today I was listening to some radio station, might have been Jacaranda or Highveld (no laughing). They were discussing the recent clampdown from metro cops on traffic offenders. People are being taken to jail for crossing solid lines, driving in emergency lanes and other offences.

This is brilliant. I am all for it. Start with the little things and the ripple effect will be vast.

What gets my goat is that the SA public are never satisfied. The cops are damned if they do and damned if they don’t. It seems to me that South Africans are happy to call for the police to put the taxi drivers in jail for driving in emergency lanes. Yet when a fat cat driving his Mercedes is taken to task for the same offence they put it on the radio.

This is what I have to say: Shut up and drive. Let the Metro Police do their jobs whether it effects you or not stay out of it when they are actually doing something right.
