State of disaster declared in South Africa

Yes I heard that. But what possible positive impact could it have. I.e how is this justified? What value?

Fat Swiss bank accounts...

That’s the negative view. How could it possibly help..

My view is not meant to help. It is only meant to portray the truth.

Ja that's obvious either way. I'm just wondering what the point of a SOD is. Does it grant government special powers regarding access to funds? Does it mean anything practical for the public?

Yes it gives them the power to access funds and loot it like they want to. They are now free to make up rules so that they can loot more freely. This is all it is.

to portray the thruth.

What does a SOD mean in practical terms? I've got very little idea what this means and why they do it.

They will ban woolies from making roast chicken cause it uses to much power as per the minister of electricity.

I actually perfected the pinapple brew during the Alcohol bans... Tasted awesome. Even got a reverse osmosis water pump, 5 micron filter and Sodasteam specifically for it. Filtered all the yeast out and then used the sodastream to put the bubbles back... Was almost as clear as normal beer and tasted like a "slet sappie" but had roughly 15% alcohol...
Tried making wine for the wife as well... Didn't trun out great... Gave her a hangover like she never had before...
Made some apple beer and distilled it with a homemade still... It actually set alight when lit... Tasted like crap though.
The alcohol ban sure taought me some new skills!! Bring on armageddon!!

It cuts red tape.
Standard procedures for awarding state tenders don't have to be followed.
Temporary legislation can be implemented.

And there's no 3rd party / unbiased oversight committee - once enacted the ruling party can pretty much act with the reigns off?
