Some things never change

I was waiting at YET ANOTHER red light in Nelspruit this morning, one of MANY. Never seen so many traffic lights and stop streets in a stretch of 2kms... Ok, am getting side tracked. The "Nelspruit Post", a small local news paper, was shoved through my window. Seeing that I am new in town, let's put some effort into seeing what is happening in the area.

Page one displays local government officials that are corrupt. Page two shows locals toi-toiing as they do not want to be removed from the building they are occupying illegally. Yaaaaaaaawn. Page three, OH WAIT, the singles clubs of Sabie, Graskop, White River and Nelspruit joined forces and arranged an evening at the local Rotary Club. Now, if you are a single woman in her very late thirties, just arrived new in the Lowveld and are still hampering a smidgen of hope of finding that charming gazillionaire that owns 5 game reserves, 9 airplanes, and an undisclosed amount of businesses in the area, these are important articles.

Oh dear, 17 woman and 2 guys pitched.... Both guys are from Gauteng. Does not pose well for my secret dream...
