An aside, not really the place to post but because it shows up how poor things are out there:

A pipe underground at my daughter's place burst. Normally, I would have assisted her to get it fixed but because of the Corona, she tried to fix it herself. But on Saturday, she phoned me to come and help. So I donned my plumbing hat and went to play plumber.

The house was part of a development in Centurion a few years ago. The "leak" is directly attributable to incredibly poor workmanship carried out went the place was built. The "quote" she got from a plumber in the area to do the repairs (no digging or filling in included) was R 10 000. The material to repair and install properly was R 500. The time taken by me was 4 hours. Please, someone, explain how R 500 in parts and 4 hours labour turns into a R 10 000 quote?

I have had experience with Refrigeration companies as well as joiners. Basically, the bigger the company, the bigger the overheads, the bigger the charge. Also, bigger companies get big jobs and generally tend to overcharge on small jobs because 1/they don't need them 2/if you are prepared to pay that much, then silly you

The daily cases aren't true, I mean you can wait days for results. Weeks even

I know I know. But it felt like a late Monday night and after a long wait, is this what they've managed to fudge up???!

Yeah the easily manipulated will think this is good news but not consider the number of tests processed. Would have easily got to 12-13k if 50k tests had been processed.

Time the SADF gets balls and shoot the fck out of these criminals. Just parking on vacant land and then burn and loot. Fcking pieces of schit.

I am calling on the South African Police Service to arrest those responsible so that they face the full might of the law,
