IN BRIEF

I agree with Frustrated (YOU Say, 22 November) regarding the shocking state of the postal service. My birthday card to my great-grandson took two months to get to New Zealand. ALSO FRUSTRATED, DURBANVILLE Losing a beloved pet is always devastating. My heart goes out to Louis (Ask Dr Louise, 29 November). Her advice was excellent, as always, and I’m sure it will help Louis in this difficult time. SYMPATHETIC, SMS Can someone please get rid of the Wedding Bashers, especially Denise. NOT IMPRESSED, SMS In October my dad passed away due to cancer. I just want to say I’m praying for everyone suffering from some form of this disease. To my wonderful and loving Daddy, I miss you so much. I’ll always love you, cherish you and remember you for the caring, loving father you were. Goodbye, Daddy. DAVID, EMAIL There’s no such thing as African time. It was made up as so many people are late. There’s only real time. It’s rude to be late. Be on time. CAROL, JOHANNESBURG I just love, love, love Caster Semenya. I was fortunate to be there in April 2014 when she was awarded the presidential award, the Order of Ikhamanga, and she accepted the award with such pizzazz, dressed in a really hip black and white outfit. She almost bopped her way to the stage and it was a light moment in a very serious event. She’s truly a strong, inspirational South African woman and an example to all. MOXIE, EMAIL
