Former teacher & now self-made water & sanitation expert, Comrade Pemmy “Jou ma se dinges” Majodina says she is putting together something she calls “a response team” for the gastrointestinal outbreak there by that Tshwane dorpie called Bronkhorstspruit. The reactionary, badass response team will, amongst others, investigate why folk that side opt for the very lethal tap water instead of bottled still water from Woolies.

Although the ANC’s post-1994 regulatory reforms aimed at removing discriminatory barriers & open the industry to historically disadvantaged groups had good intentions, they have had unintended & unchecked consequences over the years. Today, booze is aggressively marketed, widely accessible, increasingly affordable & sold through thousands of outlets, many operating illegally. Trading hours, licensing & enforcement remain weak. Lax bylaws & corruption. Zero meaningful reforms to right the wrongs since then— & the consequences are borne by families & society. I wonder if Panyaza this side is still determined to take a notch up under some misguided lies of growing Gauteng’s economy. Bloody sigh😞
