Not had very many of them recently, and not the biggest fan of international football, but both South Africa and England are on their way to North America for next year’s World Cup.
England’s progression was a bit of a foregone conclusion, but Bafana Bafana needed to put last week’s rubbish performance behind them and win, and hope that Nigeria did the business over Benin.
All the things happened, all the stars aligned, and so it was a good night for the football.
and…?
And I’m pretty impressed. They’ve entered into the fray in SA with a mountain to climb in terms of getting market share in online shopping delivered to your door, given that Takealot have been around for a long while here with virtually no opposition.
But Amazon have started small and sensible: a limited product range, but each one with the guarantee that it will get to you cheaply and quickly. And it works. I ordered a soundbar and paid a whole R2 (less than a penny) to get it delivered that evening. I ordered a mousemat (because my mouse doesn’t like how shiny my new desk is) and it cost nothing to get it delivered the following day.
Compare this with Takealot, whose confusing price structure for deliveries actually makes it difficult to compare, but a next day delivery would likely be R50 or R75. Or you could pick it up at one of their depots for R35.
Same day? Virtually unheard of, but almost always in three figures. (Yes, unless you have their monthly subscription service, but I’m doing apples and apples here.)
And it’s sad to say that Takealot have been lounging on their monopoly. Their prices – always allegedly discounted – only ever match with the normal prices everywhere else. I’ll certainly be using Amazon whenever possible for those online purchases. And yes, using local businesses for stuff too, but only if they are willing and able to offer decent prices and service.
You do wonder though – how quick could an Amazon delivery actually be? Like, if you needed something small, but really – really – urgently?
Mere seconds, it turns out (this service is not available in SA) (yet).
Such a good video, if you have the time to watch. Some delicious, subtle, dry humour, some incredible engineering and some amazing attention to detail and high quality workmanship.
It’s the future. Now.
Sadly introduced (digitally) to my timeline this morning. I’m not naming names: that won’t help anybody. But just know that there are people like this well inside the confines of the Lentil Curtain, and this one has been going at it for many years now. Of course, all the prophecies of upcoming death and doom have expired and the goalposts moved, just like last week’s Rapture. But they’ve then been regenerated and reinvented to be twisted into whatever is going on in the world these days.
Rinse. And repeat.
First thing was the fire on the mountain above Camps Bay yesterday. Thankfully rapidly extinguished, but there are still ongoing investigations in to the cause.
Lightning strike? Unlikely.
Discarded cigarette? Very possibly.
Vagrants’ fire? Almost certainly.
Or…
More fuel load incoming. Heavy metals via Geoengineering. Today are heat warnings danger to humans and environment….hmmmm I wonder why…….metals create a magnifying glass effect burning everything with the sun rays and absorbing all the moisture.
All for “climate change” and the “sustainable goals”. The WEF/UN/BILL GATES ERADICATION OF ALL LIFE ON THIS EARTH. DOWN TO ZERO EQUALS ZERO LIFE ON EARTH. That will eventually also include all the politicians who execute the devils orders.
Ja. Well. Maybe that too.
Or maybe not.
So what is “Climate Change” exactly, then?
I’m amazed that there’s no mention of 5G.
Oh. Wait:
Have you ever considered that we are poisoned by heavy metal’s nano particulates from Geoengineering and 5G radiation sickness which are coincidentally the same symptoms as “flu” and “Covid” and that your body is showing signs of toxicity when having “flu like symptoms” and is actually trying to rid the body of the poison.
Have you ever considered using punctuation?
Their social media page is full of this sort of nonsense, along with the whole Bill Gates, WEF, NWO, Illuminati, ACDP, anti-vax, pro-Trump, chemtrails, sovereign citizen stuff. Every bingo box ticked.
There is one weird anomaly I did spot though: loads and loads of articles about trucks/HGVs crashing – both in SA and all over the rest of the world. How on earth does that tie…
These accidents are not normal. Something is happening to drivers…via jab and satellite…and 5G…somehow the mechanics of the mode of transport is interfered with. Any sane person who observes all these daily truck accidents especially all over the country and the world can see there is a deliberate attempt to end private vehicle ownership and also to thwart logistics so that they can usher in their CBDC and have food shortages so that humanity is on their bare knees accepting their pre planned solution.
…in with the whole weird agenda thing? Oh. Got it.
But thank goodness she’s lucky enough to live in Cape Town – right in the City Bowl, nogal – and can keep an eye on the local City Council who (allegedly, lol):
…receive trillions for “climate change”. Everything they implement is for the death and destruction of nature and anything living and breathing.
1) Geoengineering weather warfare
2) LED STREET LIGHTS
3) 5G death towers
4) concrete jungle developments
5) COVID PLANDEMICS & more coming
Honestly, a lot of people criticise local government for not doing enough. But it seems like Cape Town has been going above and beyond. I mean, you could argue that they’re only really responsible for the LED STREET LIGHTS on this list. Surely they’re not big enough to do the COVID PLANDEMICS (plural??!?) and the Geoengineering weather warfare as well That’s surely got to be more on a national or international level. And the 5G death towers and concrete jungle developments are delegated out to private business.
Say what you like about their nefarious schemes; the organisation is an actual marvel to behold. Honestly, I think that anyone who can bring nations together like that deserves to dominate the world.
BUT THEN: I found out that this person owns an Airbnb in the city which offers Wifi and has LED lighting.
Clearly complicit in the New World Order.
Surprisingly, none of the ads for the place mention the horrific conditions, the “heavy metals”, the “Aluminum, Barium, Strontium, Graphene oxide trashing the skies” and that the “poisoned air=cancer” in Cape Town that the owner complains about on social media every day.
But I guess that wouldn’t really make for many bookings.
Careful now…
Who? Who’s getting big?
Our resident Cape Skink (Trachylepis capensis), unbelievelably named “Mr Skinky Skink” by someone that really should know better, is getting big. That’s who.
Resident in the braai wood pile under the braai, he’s literally like a wild pet. And we’ll never use all the braai wood in the braai wood pile, because that would mean that he didn’t have a home.
We’re hoping that if he keeps growing at the current rate, that one day he’ll be a fire-breathing dragon, which would not only be entertaining, but would also save a fortune in matches for winter fires and summer braais.
A wander around the CBD today, taking in a friend’s photo exhibition…
…and a couple of other art galleries.
Some were excellent, some were typically supercilious.
Top tip for future reference: if the gallery name has superfluous punctuation, you can just choose to avoid the place.
But generally just a good day out playing with the NiftusFiftus.
Buildings.
Creaking staircases.
Aww. Thanks for noticing.
