Last night we remembered that South Africa has almost as badly inhumane employees’ rights as the USA, so I checked … and indeed: Makro’s open today from 9.00 – 12:00. And that in a country where the union is one of the major political forces. Weird, eh? Knowing that most SAffas are terribly religious, I knew they’d all hang out in some church or temple or whatever cultish construction ppl congregate in. The rest are tooting their vuvuzela horns in the football stadiums.

Which means empty roads for your godless and football hating editrix and her poor little van. And even more important, almost empty MAKRO store!
