What You Are About To Read…

I, along with the majority of South Africans share the daily torture of having to navigate the disgusting transport systems to get to work in our country.

This blog will start at the beginning.  From the times when apartheid and separation of races was birthed and basically gave the races different ways of getting to work and how we are stuck with those dinosaurs even today. And how those cold blooded monster reptiles have created the worlds most chaotic system of transport that is still the only alternative to the previously disadvantaged (This is a PC term which means poor black people.)

Ill talk about the mafia-like Taxi Industry that services the large percentage of South Africans with means to get home. Often the most expensive, most dangerous, but also the most common means of transport on South Africa’s roads.

We will uncover and discover all their versions.

The Quantums (And their death box retrofits)

The Amaphelas (Cockroaches)

The Nyathi’s (And the secret handshakes made with Emerging Chinese Markets)

And of course their history of violence and past of outright wars often based on Ethnicity.

Ill talk about the State owned bus system that now, as I frantically type into this blog, is going through a Strike Which was the last push I needed to blog about these matters.

Ill talk about the legacy train system, that has never been on time since dinosaur days. Yes, the same dinosaur days mentioned above. Prehistoric references are fitting here because if you’re ever rode one it takes you so long to get where you going that you swear you inside a triceratops.

We’ll get a chance to be outraged abut the negligence that has resulted in fatal head on collusion of trains that have been under covered by media. (The first push to the creation of this blog)

I will mention the shiny new Gautrain system that appears to mainly service the previously advantaged (That’s a PC South African term that means rich white people). And how for the first time, blacks and whites have travel together to work and the hilarious interaction never before observed or experienced (Perhaps we are still in prehistoric times now). I might call it, ‘The sociology of the forced race relations in post-apartheid South Africa’. (Don’t laugh, I’m serious about that tittle.)

We will talk about the private modes of transport like owning a car.

About how much an average South African has to earn to drive one. which lead us to have a word about the unprecedented sheer carnage of corruption at the Motor Vehicle Licensing Department.

off-course we will also cover the true carnage of accidents on our roads and the kak* Road Accident Fund. How can we not also mention the fuel price and the roads that are permanently clogged with traffic.

There will be time to ridicule or recommend alternatives like the Renaissance of cycling commuters and the silly or super new motorcycle cab we’ve seen zipping around.

its not commuting but it is transport and will make for  a hilarious or horrifying read; Yes you guessed it… Our airlines, where you can look out you window and see  the engine of the flight you’re in casually fall to the ground below!

Don’t cry yet, I know it looks grim but we will also, together, combine our minds here and talk and execute solutions, cause I believe we can change this.

That is what you can look forward to.

I’m looking forward to your loyal readership and opinions.

— Lets fix this.
