It's not that bad. Had a pretty decent pizza at one of the bars when we stopped there last year

Indeed I am joking. It's not bad.

Been through Colesberg a few times too, but never stayed over. Seems like just another sleepy dorp from the outside.

We had no water the whole week. Apparently due to "installing new type meters at reservoirs" which affected much of Jo'burg
Was horrible

JHB sounding more and more like Mogadishu with every passing day.We had no water the whole week. Apparently due to "installing new type meters at reservoirs" which affected much of Jo'burg

On my next visit I expect to see collared hyenas on chains being taken for a walk in the streets.
EDIT: my heart genuinely goes out to you folks living there. I don't know how you live with the constant water, electricity and road maintenance failures. You're more resilient people than I am that's for sure.

R400 is cheap as chips. You found a solid spot for a stopover there. Well done.

Speaking about Colesberg - my parents went to their friend's son's wedding there. Apparently it is roughly away between CT and JHB which was perfect as he was from CT and she from JHB.

@wingnut771 - be prepared for an excess of 40mm rain tomorrow (Friday).

It's not as widespread as you think to that degree, but yeah, I join you in compassion for those who are so battered. A couple of them in the thread as we've seen.

I must take a photo of (many of) our main roads' robots & associated road signs one of these days.
(Our example is Louis Botha Ave.)
Left / straight lane - normal,
Middle lane is with a turn-right-only arrow,
Right lane (meant for buses of which there are still few) suggests you can only go straight....
It's the end of the world as we know it...
