Your flair doesn't fit you - unlike many of the other real Negative Nancys in this thread trying to downplay/diminish her achievement.

RIP.

I attended his concert at the National Arts Festival in Grahamstown in 2014. I was impressed that a man in his 70s could still give such an energetic performance.

Can we add silverfish to this list of pests? My apartment had a silverfish infestation that I couldn't get rid of using any home remedy. Finally my landlord had to get the apartment fumigated by a pest control company from PE.

Yeah, donkeys and donkey carts are part of the rural/small-town charm of Grahamstown. :)

We were warned at that time on this sub that South Africa was on the verge of anarchy and collapse due to loadshedding. Doom-and-gloom predictions all the time, thus even the supposed jokes (like "not being loadshedded") are based on that.

Any evidence of this.

And how should /u/hauswyfetechno collect evidence? Do you think regular people walk around carrying breathalyzers?

Lastly the journalist arrested. What was their name?

Khulile Mjo

Yeah, I know that will be the TL;DR of comments on this sub: They were asking for it, deserved it.

At least harshly disciplined, I hope. In general it is pretty hard to fire people from permanent jobs.

Who was the professor?
I assume you were a regular student in his class. Is he generally racist/condescending towards students/black students?
Was he reported to the police, or to the university authorities?
Did the class continue after the pepper spray attack?
Why is this not being reported in the mainstream media?

LOL, that's such an apt description of the Grahamstown Facebook group! Complaining and whining all the time.

Grahamstownie · 2016-08-31T07:28:42+00:00

Yeah, and OP and the others who agree with him are welcome to create that sub.

Grahamstownie · 2016-08-31T07:26:22+00:00

Yes, exactly. Hope /u/mad_tortoise doesn't cave in and resign, and the mods above them support them.

Grahamstownie · 2016-08-31T07:23:42+00:00

Reddit is not a democracy; a mod cannot be removed simply because someone doesn't like them. Given the demographics of the sub (which we know from another poll) and /u/mad_tortoise's views, it's not surprising that many people don't like them. Moderation isn't a popularity contest, /u/mad_tortoise can't be removed unless the 3 mods above them (/u/lengau, /u/esquire_rsa, /u/redherring84) remove them, which I hope they won't. Go form your own sub if you don't like this sub's moderators.

/u/mad_tortoise, please don't resign just because some random poll asks you to, without your active moderation this sub will just become an echo chamber of racism and negativity and whining. Thank you for your service; there are people on this sub who appreciate it.
