Our beloved government has now ruled in favour of the spying bill meaning they have the right to intercept anyone and everyone's mail, phonecalls or text messages. Freedom has become a fleeting illusion, reality is that we are living in a police state. And now govt is threatening to confiscate any property where rent is charged higher than the regulated price freeze of June 18, they've already done this food stuffs and seized sugar, mealie meal, cooking oil etc from retailers and arrested people for over charging, but how are people supposed to make a living? Its an unreal, but very real and scary situation. The day those price controls are stopped, prices of goods will shoot through the roof its simply a tactic to delay price rises, but the effect is catastrophic - same thing happened with petrol in 2005 and in 2006 when they slashed three zeros and we had a new currency, but it didn't take long before inflation caught up with us again. Somebody in power needs to wake up and realise we need sustainable policies in order to effect positive, permanent changes.
