Yesterday I accompanied my wife to the Watloo Licensing office in Pretoria.
Generally speaking the queues outside the building were keeping their social distancing and keeping their masks on in the correct manner. There are still those few who have their masks pulled down to below their noses as if viruses only get to your lungs through your mouth.
Personally I can’t forget that somebody told me it reminds them of a little boy who has pulled his underpants down and his little willy is hanging over his underpants 🙂
But that was just by the way
While I was there I had to stay outside the building due to Covid19 restrictions. I then took an amble to just have a look at the state of the property compared to what it was like when I last visited some years back.
The first thing I noticed was that the bathrooms for wheelchair access was locked. On enquiring as to where the key might be I was informed that it wasn’t available, and that nobody had asked to use the bathroom for a long time.
Now I might be mistaken but I thought all government or municipal facilities are supposed to have bathrooms easily accessible, to all people who have physical constraints?
Continuing round the building I noticed that all the CCTV cameras where either pointing straight up or down. Not one was even remotely pointing at an area of potential threat. Then I saw this one camera that wasps had built their nest on.
I was wondering if the security even know that their cameras aren’t working. Or are they sitting watching how the wasps are building their nests?
Apparently the staff inside the building are quite polite and helpful so that is a major plus in a country that doesn’t rate very high in these departments.
