Fighting Drug addiction
Here's the story: We sat down with a man who had a harrowing journey with addiction. He began by telling us about his early days in tertiary education, where he would occasionally smoke dagga with friends. However, his focus remained on his studies, and he worked hard to graduate and secure a qualification. After landing a job, he started building a life for himself. He got married, bought a property, and even splurged on a car. Life was good, and he felt like he was on top of the world. But one fateful night, while out with friends, he was introduced to heavier narcotics. At first, the experience was exhilarating. He described it as an elevation from the mild high of dagga to a level 5 high, where he felt invincible and euphoric. The effects would last for days, allowing him to party from Friday to Sunday without sleep. The problem, however, began to manifest on Mondays and Tuesdays every week, when the withdrawal symptoms would kick in, and he'd struggle to function at work....

Brilliant!
Ditto. Ditto.
Absolutely agree, certainly one of the best to date. Well done!!
absolutely accurate as always 🙂
I particularly like the redeployment inflatable. I wouldn’t buy the Gwede Mantashe playset because it doesn’t come with a 20 billion bailout after it explodes!
I wonder if the broom can sweep smallinyamas
Marvellous – even better than normal!
Optional extra for the Gravy Train – tracks and locomotives [only in different sizes]!
🤣🤣🤣
Marvelous … or is it ancvelous !?
The best yet!!
Excellent! Can’t it be used as an election poster?
Excellent, creative, to the point. Many, including myself, had much hope that CR would straighten out the ANC, but it’s clear that this is not to be. Incompetence, corruption, rooted so deep that reform is an impossible task. Unfortunately this is taking down our country further down the road of poverty and despair. The only solution, like those unwanted weeds in a garden, is eradication. I doubt that their garage sale will go down well, but think that the broom has a long story to tell, as this has swept billions, if not trillions, under the carpet.
Love this! Well done!
Nailed it!
