Mornings mornings
Jasis it feels lekker to post in my native kombuis taal for a change! Fok, ek sukkel ‘n beitjie met die engels op steemit!
Gatvol of this kak
Yoh! Ma se purse but this has been probably the kakste load shedding the country has ever experienced!
A few days ago we were in stage 4 loadshedding which effectively means 7 hours of the day we have no electricity!
Anyway I finished my work and start supper when my bra calls me and his like “my bru is your krag on?” I’m like “awe” his like ok I just got hone from sommerset and I need to make a Skype call with clients form the US can I stiek uit and I was like gates open bru pull in at the back.
So he rushes over and does his thing, eventually his done with his meeting and we leave my house to go to soccer! As we drove to Durbanville the various neighbourhoods we past were dark but we paid no attention to it, too busy dodging all the drolle on the road who don’t know how a four way stop works when the robots are out!
If the robots are out or it’s raining you best believe Cape townians will drive like a bunch of doose!
Anyway we get to the field, get stripped and start to warm up and right as the game begins the lights shut off it’s completely dark expect for the KFC because they have the fireside to have a generator!
So we drove all the way for nothing and had to drive all the way home dodging bad driving again!
It’s really enough to make you “jacket”
At least I had my load shedding playlist handy - https://www.nichemarket.co.za/blog/extravaganza/songs-loadshedding
T and c’s apply

Only in South Africa will someone decide to risk billions to make millions! The roads are crazy It’s like those distraction derbies! You just have to hope and pray, driving at night is so scary sometimes, you don’t even want to stop because someone might just try something at the corner

I am a Jessie. Furthermore, I love that you used "Guzbuck" in your post. Load Shedding is brutal, but this is a great post.

Lol You know when the world decides we going one way in Africa we like, that sounds good but we going to try something differnt, sho't left!
It can be crazy brutal at times, I'm actually amazed at how resilient we have been. Gas prices are going up today too so should see a little more frustration creep in
