You know that you have a failed state where there is a parallel state in which we have to have private medical aid, home armed response, high vehicle insurance, live off the grid, etc., because government cannot provide these services. Each taxpayer supports four social grants.

Comment: So reports suggest personal income tax and VAT will both increase. We get less and less but have to keep feeding the rapacious, wasteful state. At the weekend our local councillor said residents must fix fucked-up traffic signs as Johannesburg Roads Agency can't.
