In Golden Arrow training, drivers are taught to never say no to school kids who don't have money. The one example my instructor, the late Faizel Hankey, used in 2001 was: "Kids sometimes buy sweets with their bus fare to impress their friends". Cash or no cash, you board them.
The mother of the pupil left by a Golden Arrow Bus driver in Simon's Town, Cape Town, says she's grateful her son is alive

While the rest of the nation buckles under the sheer enormity of black outs and its devastating impact, especially on the poor, we have leaders who are exempt from loadshedding, seeing it as a big joke.

I tell my bestie to get the jab. He says no. He's seen too many scary stories (on WhatsApp). I say fine, but get your will in order, in case.

Doctor says vaccine saved him. He's so thankful.

Actually - don't answer. Racist a$$hole.
Please say a prayer for the white minority in South Africa who are suffering daily murder, discrimination and oppression.
This Christmas, spare a thought for a kindred community that is under siege.
They are suffering racist genocide at the hands of a murderous regime.
