Good news and bad news if you live in South Africa. We’re pretty used to the bad news, always something new. Or something recycled, like load shedding which has come back with a bump. Or continuing quagmires and conundrums like unemployment; the economy, the staggering and reeling SOE’s and…I don’t think I’ll go on, you can connect the dots.
South Africa is a country of staggering diversity. From arid desert through every conceivable land-type to lush tropical wetlands; mountains and plateaux to coastal plains, fynbos to forest to savannah and grassland to succulent desert – we have it all. Sorry, ‘we’ don’t have it, it just happens to be there.
