Peaceful right

Already went the usual route in Richards Bay. All roads blocked, started dumping a whole cement mixer load in the road going to the port. Looks like police are already dispersing them with gunfire, probably rubber bullets.

Looks like it has been cleared. I know trouble will come where I currently live, but I do not miss the port and truck and black dust.

True

Transnet has declared "force majeure" 5 times in the past two years 4 out of 5 times were directly caused by the ANC

Just like Eskom loadshedding, which costs billions per day and where no-one is responsible or accountable, Transnet is a cesspit of AA, BEE and corruption. Lekker ANC.

I wouldn't care about these people striking if I believed they actually worked hard for their money.
