White Shop: Beautiful Third Reich Coasters: Reich Family Coaster & 24 other variants
The above photo is of the beautiful Reich Family Coaster. However there are a lot of different coasters. Here is the list of the 24 different types of Coasters ...
On 24th November 2020 I went to my post box to check for mail. It’s my weekly ritual, and this entire year I’ve received maybe only 2 letters – because of COVID lockdowns and the total uselessness of South Africa along with strikes, etc.
Anyhow, I saw a letter in the box and took it home and opened it. To my amazement upon closer inspection the letter inside was dated 19th February 2020. It was a letter from the USA!
It’s the first time in my life that a letter has taken over 9 months to get to me! I have experienced waits of 2 or 3 months … but never 9 months.
I suspect that the majority of the wait was in South Africa and it was probably due to a combination of lockdowns and strikes!
But there you have it … a letter from the USA to South Africa … 9 months!!!
That’s how damned dysfunctional SA is!!!
2002: 60 of Blacks said life under Apartheid was better
This is a story from Britain on my African Crisis Archive. Of course life was better under Apartheid, but nobody wants to admit that White rule was better. In 2023, Blacks are still realising this truth, but few dare say it.
