Hang On

My country in Africa - though I am Indian in origin - Lies torn and tattered, corrupt and corrupting No water for weeks, only Mandela's Charity trucked in some (2 trucks today) After a whole week of dry faucets. With electricity, there's LOADSHEDDING Or rationing of power, so one must research the hours each day ... And decide when to make coffee, or breakfast, beverages, meals - Then we have loved ones frustrated: Just hang on. Pray. Ask God Because no humans can solve the problems of arrogance of power ANC: AFRICAN NATIONAL CONGRESS, once light, now darkness itself!

An intense, moving account of the political turmoil in South Africa. I hope that there is some turn around, some restitution from such a dire situation. Be well, Anil. Sincerely, Brian
