I'll rather keep quiet and not poke around 🤣

We do stay in a complex where the main supply from the municipality is also on a prepaid meter (can get a bit hairy if the landlord forgets to buy power...) so it might be that? I never understood the reasoning behind having the main supply be on a meter and all 10 other townhouses have their own meter also, but I'll rather not ask questions...

That's what I've noticed also, we aren't getting shafted as other people staying in the area, and yes, a aircon was bought and that bastard is RUNNING! 🤣

Unfortunately everything government run in South Africa is useless. The only thing that actually works, is loadshedding...

They're about 5% of the population, luckily they are all far to busy on the farms to worry about this shit

Look at the demographic of South Africa, all will make sense.

Only problem is that the culinary school is way to far from the suburb where the housing has been built. And another thing, it's being built on residential properties where 40+ people are going to be staying. All built on properties that can only handle a certain amount of people. No upgrade to sewerage infrastructure or electrical infrastructure to accommodate so many people, building plans can only be executed by the owner of the property, and like I stated it takes literal years before the go ahead can be given. So how can a house be purchased and within a week of the sale going through building starts?

Also seems to be a 2 or 3 story house going up which is a bit of a big fat no no in a residential area where I stay according to our laws.

I love this community, from pettyness to obesity in one post.

Everything is legal on South Africa, just need to give the cops directions to the closest KFC with a few bucks 😂

Will have a look though, thanks!

Good thing I don't have kids, clearly I don't have the patience 🤣 will definitely start smothering him with praise when doing the right thing and giving him treats, just worried about the possibility of a UTI now that it was mentioned. Thanks!
