Thank FSM that the R180 billion (or something like that) in the UIF wasn't looted yet, can be used to help with this.

mom was at work till 9 pm grandpa watched it and he said he didn't see anything about people getting having money for power and food

I mean no disrespect when I say this. Let the grown ups handle this. This isn’t for you to worry about.

My wife's bosses already sent WhatsApp messages. All will have to fill in leave forms for days not at work. December leave cancelled. I suppose it will be the same for many, including myself. I suppose it's fair, better than unpaid leave.

Holy crap...
"Ramaphosa noted that the Rupert and Oppenheimer families have donated R1 billion each to the cause"
Don't remember that from the speech... Hats off, that's some serious philantropy.

Julius will probably want it sent back.

Anybody up for some bat-hunting in the next three weeks?

OK, got the bat. What're we hunting?

Our CEO sent our a mail now that he's arranged for salaries to be paid tomorrow and people can leave at 2 to go to the shops etc. Our whole company has been "closed" (working from home) for a week already.

If they can get past their 4-month backlog, that is!

My boss would lose it if I put leave in.
