Yes, Thats right. Our house was on the brink of collapse, we had not shopped for food in several weeks. Then we had a kuppah meeting ( communal money) and a revolution took place. A new Gizbar (treasurer) was elected, myself, who ousted the old one, Doron Moshe. We decided to go shopping and filled our fridge with a range of foods. However we decided to do this the day before Yom Kippur - not always the best plan, especially when you are trying to resist temptation.
Ok - now to house. Things are pumping harder than biceps at a gay bar. Our house is becoming well known amongst the Jewish community, partly due to the ridiculous looks of Doron Moshe.
I other news South Africa has a new President, Kgalema Motlante, exciting stuff. He stepped in after Thabo Mbeki was forced to resign. The country's political life is in major flux. After Apartheid ended the ANC undertook to most people surprise a vyer much Neo-liberal line, courting the big business's. While this did go hand in hand with a large state - a sizable part of the budget is still devoted to grants of all kids, the inequality has only grown and it is reaching an unmanagable turning point now. This turning point is taking political manifestations as voter and inernal ANC dissatisfaction not only with certain personalities but also with there general outlook on South Africa as a country.
