'Musica is officially shutting down its South African stores from May 31, 2021, announced the brand’s owner Clicks. This follows after years of struggle.
Clicks acquired the brand in 1992 and enjoyed decades of success. However, the shift from physical media like CDs and DVDs to digital media and streaming has hit the industry hard. The situation has been made even more dire during the COVID-19 pandemic...
Thus far, 19 stores have already closed in the 2021 financial year and the remaining stores will fully close from May 31, 2021 as leases expire."

I'm with Darwin on this one ... let the Covidiots carry on as they please ... you can't polish a turd, so why waste your breath ... let 'em cull themselves.
My only concern is the collateral damage of innocent bystanders in the interim.

South Africa has now hit a tax wall
''The special tax proposed to fund the acquisition of Covid-19 vaccines, which government did not budget for, will add to an already high tax burden.
“National Treasury acknowledged that there were limits to what could be achieved through higher taxes alone. This is because tax buoyancy has fallen to below one, with every 1% increase in GDP producing a less than 1% increase in tax revenue.”
Nedbank said that raising taxes will only reduce tax buoyancy further and that South Africa has reached the point where nominal spending cuts are the only route to fiscal sustainability.

Yesterday :
These protesters in Cape Town have had enough: A mass demonstration has taken place on Muizenberg Beach - as locals rebel against the lockdown laws.
Scores of people have gathered at Muizenberg Beach, in a direct contravention of the Level 3 lockdown laws. Locals are fed-up with the current restrictions, which forbid visits to the seaside. Cape Town cops have confirmed that they are working to disperse the protesters from the area – but that task is proving easier said than done.
Police ‘dealing with situation’ at Muizenberg Beach
Amongst the protesters, some entered the water to swim, and others brought surfboards along with them. The mass act of civil disobedience is one of the clearest demonstrations against any lockdown law we’ve seen in the past 10 months. According to SAPS, this matter is now being handled by Public Order officers

And now something for the thirsty fellows...
