US Embassy in SA issues "prepper" warning to citizens

The United States government has warned its citizens in South Africa to stockpile three days’ worth of supplies, including non-perishable food, 3 litres of drinking water per day, and medicine and first aid supplies.

It also says it expects load-shedding to continue beyond 2023.

Sounds like a normal day for locals in Mzansi

I always thought the 'US' believed preppers to be nothing other than conspiracy nuts...

Indeed, then rona hit and showed the world they are the only ones with brains.... relying on governments for your daily life/death needs is no better that suicide

At least the US government just did what the South African government should have done a long time ago already.

Only necessary if you stockpiling baked beans

What happened to your food stockpile from the July riots?

Only necessary if you stockpiling baked beans

You only kak when you eat baked beans?

 

[Harmonic]

Now remember, 3 days worth of supplies is just so the US can come and expatriate their citizens here.

We over here will be truly f*****

"Prepper" is a mybroadband'ism - from what I can see the alert never used it. They say we should "Prepare in advance for power outages..." and offered "Emergency Preparedness Tips" but that's as close to it as they came.

Not necessary, by the time the paw paw hits the fan, US citizens would have already done it in their pants.

For us Saffers it would be a normal Tuesday.

 

[Polymathic]

Did their message get lost in the mail for 3 years?

 

[Pak Fa Fui]

That is an alarming memo, minimum of 3 days with no food or water, what are they expecting

We can jump on the wings afgan style
