WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

[I will quickly summarise this rather humorous story from a newspaper here. The story is about a black woman, Gladys Baloyi from Mamelodi township. She originally applied for her ID book in 1997 because she wanted her marriage to be registered with Home Affairs. In 2001 she was told that according to their records, she had died on 9 January 2001. She was quoted as saying: “He showed me the computer and I saw that I was dead. After some time I convinced myself I am alive, and need to have an ID.” Her husband has since died and she had to rely on her sister-in-law to sign the documents for the funeral! She is now trying to apply for child support, but they won’t grant it to her, because she still doesn’t have an ID book… because officially… she is still dead! Its been 9 years, and she still doesn’t have her ID book! Let me add some of my own comments:- I found myself marvelling at the same thing when I went to Holland a few years ago. I went for a conference and I had an electronic ticket. In South Africa, there was confusion upon confusion as I had to have it changed into a “real ticket”, etc. Eventually… I got to Holland. In Holland, they discovered my airline ticket had been wrongly processed… but no hassle… the Dutch woman at the airline quickly did what she needed to and fixed up the problem for me, and my return trip was a breeze. I enjoyed being able to just sit down and let someone else take care of my problem without me having to worry about it or figure it out. People outside Africa don’t realise and understand the concept that simple things, daily things, don’t always work in other countries. But for those of us who live with this daily, we get used to having to second-guess and anticipate such things and to “think” for those whose job it is… but who actually struggle to do their own job! In Africa, the customer sometimes knows more about doing the job, than the person who is employed to do it! You think I’m joking… come and live in Africa and then you’ll see its far from being a joke! Jan] Source: The Star (Johannesburg) |
