We need to be warned about storms

-

Surely with all the technology available in all walks of life these days, the SA Weather Service is aware of massive storms building up and should forewarn us?

Alerts are of no use to anyone after the fact because by then we have already been battered to pieces. Sue Sanral, the people trying to enforce e-tolls on us, considerab­ly increased the road surfaces on roads and the catchment area for stormwater but forgot to provide sufficient drainage, hence the flooding of highways. What a bunch of charlies. MS

I agree with Martin Zagneov about treating pamphlet sellers with kindness and respect. The same goes for car guards. They are all trying to survive in an increasing­ly hostile and difficult environmen­t. And who knows – that pamphlet may be just what you are looking for! Annie

Cliff Buchler, thanks for your walking story of which I am also a member in my old age. By the way, there is something far worse and that’s converted cyclists! Leon B

Darkness reigns ... power out due to heavy rain. It is our rainy season, pathetic city power. Can’t even advise on duration! Gasping

Siwela, the “Zuma Monster Truck” will unfortunat­ely continue to smash and flatten the Mini Minor! Phillip

Martin Williams, just imagine Mbalula and Trump getting together. The two would be tweeting one another day and night. Heh heh heh! Hawk Eye

Kebby Maphatsoe (MKMVA), the foreign forces involved in your faction fighting are based in a Shebeen in Saxonwold. Jake

So the goose-stepping MK veterans are waging war against one another. The “Red Ants” would give the toy soldiers a hiding. Donald

Nathan Cheiman, you are 100% correct about the clowns at Eskom. They don’t know their bums from their elbows. Angelo

UDM leader Bantu Holomisa, are you sure you didn’t mean to say: we have a “rogue elephant” sitting in the Union Buildings? Thabo

Reading your editorial on “Top traffic cop fails, gets 93% pay hike”, is nothing out of the ordinary. In SA it’s not a matter of no-work, no-pay for the big shot officials, it’s no-work, more-pay! Paul J

The former Gauteng health MEC Qedani Mahlangu should be charged for the deaths of the 118 patients she transferre­d from Life Esidimeni. Max

Mmusi Maimane, you are lowering yourself and the DA to the same level as Tony Ehrenreich and his racist Cosatu mobsters. Frans
