SA flair in the face of adversity

Public-private partnerships (PPP) are the current panaceas, the road map to our much-delayed New Jerusalem, but while our leaders are painting castles in the sky, there are many happening right under our noses.

Sandton is Africa's richest square mile by any metric, but that's not so obvious at night. There are no traffic lights up Sandton Drive (or is that Leila Khaled Drive?) if you've been able to successfully make it down Winnie Mandela Drive (the old William Nicol) where the traffic lights do work but are now ignored.

If it were not for all the businesses and illuminated billboards, the area would be in total darkness, but Eskom isn't load shedding.
