This is so sad! Yet it is so true and there is no way anyone can deny this.
It is shocking...I was just having a conversation with someone today who also said what you are mentioning here... People rather give to the Gift of the Givers organization, because they are more trustworthy than the government...
I share the feelings and concerns you express in this post!
Be alert wherever you go, traffic slows where roadworks are taking place the smash and grab kids are in full swing. Homes devastated and ravaged by storm now picked clean by scavengers unless you can afford private security.... Take care!
We hear things from within the rural and towns, it is so sad to see how many are at then end of the rope, no guidance, no protection, now no water or electricity, mainly no trust!

!BEER sundowner time... lock the doors and keep dog inside the home, also proven to be better security.

Thank you for the caution and the sharing the info about what is happening.
I have no words for what is happening.
Keep the dog inside the home...believe me, we do!!!
Our personal experience in a nutshell...
October 2018, I had the "authorities" coming out to my house as I wanted something investigated. I ended up answering their questions about who else is living on the property with us...Is it only me and my wife, etc.,...until I ended this by asking what this had to do with what they were there for...
On 14 January 2019, our dog mysteriously got poisoned.
On 1 February 2019, we got attacked inside our house at 3 am. in the morning.
Can you notice any pattern...or is it just me...??

Being vigilant is second nature, learn to listen to dogs in the neighbourhood, one gets to know when there is unusual movement around at night.
Definitely you had a pattern unfolding, they tend to pounce on new arrivals to areas. Dogs have been sleeping indoors since 1990 when theft of dogs was exceptionally high down here.
When they arrived with census I gave extremely brief, on need to know basis, told them the banks, municipality, SARS and everyone has the information, go get anything else they require through those channels.
Never saw census again, logically thinking in hindsight, had the census been done in regions where people are living on river beds, in shanty towns they would have had a good idea on danger six months ago, immense numbers residing there!

Nothing wrong with a bit of dreaming! And who knows...maybe we can also say... "and this too shall pass"... It just feels like an eternity while being in this situation.
Are you guys coping down there on that side?
Some have water, others still waiting, electricity and internet very intermittent, we will survive of that I am sure.
Shocked by bad behavior of some, makes one question what it takes to simply consider others!
Hope you are all getting back to semblance of normal once again.
