Dankie vir terugblik op 'n era toe alles wat moes werk nog in stand gehou was, werks etiek ongeag jou beroep nog jou trots was. Water nog uit 'n kraan gedrink kon word sonder E coli of ander grillerige goed en/of tekort aan Chloor om water te suiwer, nie eers meer vandag aangekoop kan word weens wanbestuur. 🙏👍
