Cool map, Mickey!

May I please save it to disk? It's much more up-to-date than mine:

They are fixing the roads - was through there earlier this month

From Lichtenberg back to Joburg - I had taken a detour on the way to Mafikeng in the morning which was better as I didn't waste an hour at one of those stop and go things.

The Capital City of the North West Province has also undergone a name change - only one letter was changed...
Mahikeng/Mafikeng/Mafeking/Muffykeng... Whatever!

The Lichtenburg-Koster road might seem to visitors to be under repair, but the stop/go's have been up since 2009...

Overview/Timeline of the saga:

Ok, Mr Premier, let me get this straight.

Your province is in absolute chaos, its basically a step away from limpopo, yet the most important thing on your agenda is the name, while you were busy changing all the afrikaans names, the excuses where that they "invoke the pain of apartheid", now that that excuse is used up, you have a problem with probably the least offensive name a province can have "North-West".

I wish the ANC sheep will wake up, and see what the people they have selected do, and what they spend their time on, If I'm not mistaken, didn't Marikana happen in your province just a couple of months ago? Isn't there a frightning amount of unemployment and poverty in your province? Yet, you want to spend Billions on changing a fscking name [let me guess, your sisters' cousin has a signage company !?]. Please wake up, and prioritise. There are much more important issues.

And for every single ANC voter in North West. Stop blaming apartheid, there is nothing apartheid can change or do to affect you today. You know who can help you out of the current poverty stricken situation? The guy that wants to waste millions of Rands changing a cosmetic name.

How many jobs can this change fund? How many houses/schools/clinics/training programs can this fund, things that will actually have an impact on peoples lives!!

Then ANC have abadoned "its" people, perhaps it is time to give someone else a chance, hell, you can always vote these useless guys back in power in 4 years/8 years if the new guys don't do the job. But stop complaing/protesting/buring things and then just run back to the ANC like a loyal little lap dog, and realize... YOU OWE THEM NOTHING.

WAKE UP SOUTH AFRICA !!!

Not a he...

Back in the day I travelled that road regularly, potholes were deep enough to trap a donkey, at night it would look like a rabbit ears sticking out… Then a sudden hard thump and no more wheels... There is a café (store) in Koster which makes the best burger sandwiches.
