General Thoughts, page-4141

Aaaaaagh, I can't stand it. This slow, incompetent, useless, often-corrupt government service is one of the reasons I left southern africa.

Now, years later, it has caught up to me again
- IVZ in a doom spiral waiting for their PPSA
- PCL in a nervous snapping waiting-room mood (RR you are not helping here) waiting for their seismic license.
- my son's life in Europe in limbo, waiting for a south african confirmation of birth certificate (even although he has subsequent Australian citizenship).

Let is hope there is no black-swan corrupt backroom risk brewing for PCL here.
