    Another one that has me surprised:
    80% of South Africans believe that Minister Alec Erwin is one of our top three ministers. Minister Trevor Manuel is rated as one of top three by 20% of South Africans.

    Somewhere between surprising and disturbing:
    There are 5.3 million South Africans aged 22 or older living with their parents. 36% of them are employed. (AMPS 2008RA)

    Snap!

    Although funnily enough when my son announced he's planning to move out, some pretty foreign thoughts ran through my mind, I'll tell you.

    Like "I'm going to miss him."

    Tried to do the rah-rah way-to-go. I'm not sure I was very convincing.

    A Bound Man: Why We Are Excited about Obama and Why He Can't Win by Shelby Steele (hardcover) sells for $14.96 (R150 at current exchange rates) on Amazon and R278.30 on Kalahari.
    I heard a rumour Amazon isn't delivering to South Africa anymore. Can anyone confirm that?

    So we, the consumer, now have to pay 85% more!

    I'm sorry - theft is costing this country a f***ing fortune.

    I see you can get an audible download for $10.49.
    I wonder if this wouldn't be a opportunity to get an ebook and print and bind it here?
    It is big business in the states for self publishing.
    Only stress when you can change the outcome!
