Cause WC doesn't get all its money stolen by the glorious movement party, LMAO

How is the budget allocated from national?

WC is tied for 4th place with Limpopo...
Gauteng, KZN and EC are on the podium for 1st, 2nd and 3rd respectively (got stats from http://www.treasury.gov.za/documents/provincial budget/2021/4. EPRE tables in Excel format/Default.aspx)

Managed to get my registration done today through the website. Had to try several times though. Address locator took so long to come back my session kept timing out and returning me to the homepage.

It also got my address wrong but at this point I don't really care.

I know you're kidding, but you can see the border marker stone(s), and the line is dead on.

Are you sure that's a border marker? I've always wondered. There are similar markers all along that road and it doesn't follow the provincial border.

FWIW you can't tell from the angle of that photo, but the road surfacing goes past that as well.

Pretty sure.

They're not all border markers, but they definitely are cadastral points for annotating boundaries or milestones in real world.

That abortion of a site put me and the Chinese in different wards and voting districts using the same address.

You would think, but not so, especially when it comes to medical resources and staffing. The following article provides some eye-opening stats:
