Darling station and their service

Darling Police station. We arrived 10:10 on Friday 9 February to get a police clearance. Driving all the way from Grotto bay. We were told, sorry you have to come back on Monday 12 February because the lady that does this has gone home early. 10 am in the morning? We arrived at 08:00 on the Monday morning. They asked us if we had R170 cash before they could proceed as they don’t have card facilities. The never told us Friday we must bring money. I went to the ATM and withdrew the cash. They took fingerprints etc and then the waiting started. Apparently the police system takes hours on a Monday to start up. We waited and waited and waited. 3 1/2 hours later I walked into the police station and called someone I know that work in the police force and asked him if the system was off on his side and told him about our problem as load shedding was starting in 45 min for 4 hours. Everyone in the station could hear the conversation. Then a miracle happened. There was a resurrection in the station and the system “went on line” - apparently never of at all! I see this as a race problem because we were the only whites in the station. Everybody else came in and were helped. No wonder our nation is down the drain!
