South Africans are desperate for a laugh these days.
We’re also desperate for a beer at the pub with mates (safe physical distancing and all), and an entjie that doesn’t make the inside of your mouth go numb after two drags, with those prayers set to be answered from tomorrow.
Hello, alert level 2 – we’ve been waiting for you.
Anyway, back to the matter at hand, and if you’re only hearing about the braai outfit that went viral on Facebook recently, then cool.

Then their daughter came in to get the car keys as she was at Spar. People I’ve never seen such an angel in my life ❤️
Deep blue eyes and freckles on olive tanned skin. Her face was hugged by beautiful long brown hair😩😩 I was weak at the knees. ❤️Long Story short what do you think of my outfit for the braai on Friday?? 😏😏🔥🔥
“Uit die blou van onse hemel,’
Uit die diepte van ons see,
Oor ons ewige gebergtes,
Waar die kranse antwoord gee,”
Good times.
This doesn’t “restore my faith in humanity”, but it did make me smile.
Thanks, Siseko.
