That’s what our taxi drivers in my country do. They poop in their own beds. They harm the very ones who need help the most. I despise the way the majority seem to behave and think. It’s mindless and it’s evil.
There’s currently a strike going on. Why? Because they kept breaking the law and getting fined but not paying the fines. So our local government started impounding the taxis when they break the law.
And that’s bad.
🙄
I first knew about it when my husband-who was traveling from Johannesburg to Cape Town-sent me an internal message stating that worker’s lives were important and to organise early home time and alternative transport. The strike had begun. And people weren’t ready.
I went to buy bread, and the cashier told me they’d been told there were no taxis so they’d have to walk home. And indeed, husband saw many people walking home from work. People walked over ten km to get home! Unplanned! High heeled shoes, tires grandmothers…Burning cars, trucks, attacking police vehicles and yesterday, stoning normal people’s cars.
The rich could get home in their cars. But the poor who rely on those lawbreaking taxis had no way to get home. Bus queues were horrendous. People waited three hours and some still didn’t get on. Some of the staff at my husband’s work had to be put up in a hotel overnight then we’re dismissed early in the morning to make their ways home. Imagine the children who were stuck at home with no parents!
I hate, hate, hate how our people ‘protest.’ And I don’t pity them. The protests are usually over the wrong things. From a sense of entitlement.
Will we ever come right?
