We’re going back to abnormal - When one state of disaster ends, we’ll enter the other, familiar one, where service failure is the endemic pandemic.

My plans for a sedate, dignified filing session followed by a quick dip in the ocean to celebrate a pearler of a Durban day now that some of the beaches are reopened have — for not the first time — had their own plans for me.

The municipality is — as it has been since Saturday — blaming the cats who are laying fibre in the area for cutting the electricity cable while working on the roll-out that’s taken around 12 months and which is far from over.

That’s R1-billion that should be going towards maintaining — and repairing — the city’s electricity grid, but isn’t, because nobody has bothered to collect it.
