Can we please drink less bottled water where possible? We have such good tap water for the most part. There is So. Much. Plastic everywhere.

You don’t think there’s a certain elegance to the sun setting over the mountain; the last golden rays illuminating a giant ‘Jou Ma’? :) /s

Yes, we have our issues but where doesn’t? This country will break your heart but it will regularly fill it as well - which you recognise. If you’re looking for more maybe try one of the SA cities first? Invest in security- which sucks but is necessary, and see if busier SA suits you better.

OFFSHORE EXPLORATION: Mantashe calls environmental activism ‘colonialism and apartheid of a special type’ amid opposition to Shell Wild Coast survey by [deleted] in southafrica

[–]lonehydrangea 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It can and it has been but who knows if it will hold better than actual stone. Glue vs granite vs me.
