Dear Mum,
At
the moment it’s raining. The humidity is so high that water condenses on the
walls. The weather lately has been just that little bit too hot. We had to
install an air conditioner in the bedroom so at least we can sleep at night.
But the heat/humidity is the worse I’ve ever experienced.
Politically
the parliaments are now siting. They seem to be panicking. Every day they
announce without warning completely out of the blue something which should have
been done years ago. I don’t know if such things get into papers over there but
it seems certain the immorality act will go, CBD’s will be open to all races
and blacks can own property in RSA. Nobody knows what is going to happen next
but I know what people are interested in, the economy.
Some
people think the economy will get worse before it gets better. Some think it
will just get worse. This disinvestment campaign is also affecting people’s
confidence. The Govt must be worried about disinvestment as the SABC is continually
telling us how bad it would be for the blacks. I really can’t put up with the
arrogance of Americans prescribing solutions for SA blacks. So imagine how the
genuine Afrikaaner feels. The right wing CP is in for a very crucial time. So
is the NP.
Locally
we even had our own little riot. The blacks were boycotting buses (because the
fares were increased because petrol was increased 25 cents overnight because
the Rand has slide in value)
So a
mob gathers and forces all the others to join. They burned a few houses and
stoned buses etc. The police used rubber bullets and some patients came to our
hospital. Now it’s all over except they’re still not using the buses.
If I
read what I wrote it all sounds so depressing but personally I’ve no problems.
Everybody is happy and working hard
Regard
Alan
