Mogale '****ty', a city in a banana republic

<p>Bought a house in May. Constantly followed up by email and phone (recorded) to get the utilities bill onto our name. Went there 3 times and were told over the phone and even in writing (yes they do responds which is already half a miracle) that we cannot open the account yet as it takes at least three months for the house to be fully registered. Phoned the Monday as a weekly routine again...water and power cut off on the Wednesday. Going there on the Thursday and hey, halejuja the miracle of being suddenly able to open an account did happen. Meantime 35 hours without power...</p> <p>Mogalice '****ty' is another African banana republic city where staff is only interested in the job and a government which is in line with any banana republic doing nothing about it. Even the newly formed 'government' (as they call it) with defectors from the EFF did not change the situation at all. </p> <p>This so called government will never clean its filthy stables by getting rid of incompetence (which is the biggest trade product of SA). </p> <p>And that is besides just a few days later water out for over a day due to incompetence (same spot, few months later, pipe broken). The damage to the business within an already totally trashed economy is huge. Working in this country has become a real challenge (which is the reason why there is no investments).</p>
