Newsletter 20 - 22 September

Good morning SA!

There is one thing that I can say about SA at the moment and that is it is a very exciting place to be. There is more good things happening than bad, this excludes the crime and politics, but even with this said I had some great experiences this last week which was encouraging.

I had to go and renew my vehicle registration, this would normally be a hour process, it took me 15min and that includes the time I had to fill in my form. If I had my paper work they sent me, it would have taken 5min.

The government has taken the Secrecy bill off the table for now for further investigation/analysis, which in my opinion is a great move that shows that our government does not just do things because they can, and that to me is good governance!
I went to Tulbagh for the weekend, and all I can say is that Tulbagh is a pretty awesome place to go away for a weekend, with horse riding(R 150), visiting the waterfalls in Tulbagh (R5/person), watching the rugby on the Sat. morning at the local Bistro with breakfast, R 40.00, wine farms, champagne farms and even chocolate farms, what more can you ask for! SA has some special places to visit, pretty damn awesome!

So my fellow SA men fans, there is more to be done in SA to make this a perfect home, but I will say that I am experiencing some great things at the moment.

I am just experiencing selective improvements, or am I being blinded by the window dressing? Have you also seen an improvement in your local government?
