With South Africa having a supposed national shutdown as threatened by one of the many corrupt and mentally deficient political parties in the country; I for one was hoping for a nice day off.
Since Tuesday is an official public holiday it would be a very nice long weekend.
Unfortunately, it seems we will remain open, mainly because the shop is not in a major degenerate area like city center, taxi rank or extremely rural; You know like the hills have eyes.
Now obviously South Africa has always welcomed local terrorism and or the killing of your neighbour. This is the African way after all and as much as SA likes to think it is different from Somalia, Nigeria, Zimbabwe or the Congo it has the exact same future.
Anyway, all the captain obvious stuff aside, the EFF which is one of these small parties that the bigger ones use to rabble-rouse things.
Since the ANC ruling party need votes but their incompetence is starting to stink so bad not even the corpses fed on local news propaganda will vote for them; they can then reap some benefits by having something worse than them.
So it is in the President's best interest to keep a good balance between terrorism and feigning to counter it at times.
Or as the ruling party you can cash in on it as you see in the article above.
Now obviously there is an actual threat coming from the EFF but fortunately for the ANC and DA, it does not really affect their main vote areas.
There is also not much incentive for normal towns to always organise and this I think would be a main concern for people who just want to go about their lives.
There is still the chance your area albeit not completely degenerate can come under siege.
So people should have local protocols in place and the ability to close off areas and dispose of the terrorist in an effective fashion.
Obviously when you speak of community gatherings in South Africa then you will always find they wish to destroy what others have.
Now I am not going to say that any of the business owners they wish to kill in the above tweet or the property they will burn down and not be able to repair to house locals are the lives or property of good people.
Sure some of the foreign businesses are run by foreign gangs and are surely a threat but you don't kamikaze your own ship if you wish to still use it in the war.
On top of that although we need squads in this country to wipe areas I can promise you these are not the kind of shit-on-the-lawn rabble group that is required.
Anyhow, if anything is clear about how many centuries it will still take to find logic in the current human state; Effectively organized micro-groups of communities building a chain of reliable control zones will be required in all towns that care to expel retardation.
