Ponte

From a post picked up on Facebook by Patrick Stories

This is Ponte City.

It is located in the Berea suburb of Johannesburg, South Africa.

It is a 185-meter-high cylindrical building with 55 stories and Africa’s tallest residential skyscraper.

 Johannesburg's Ponte City: 'the tallest and grandest urban slum in the world'.

“Ponte was designed at a particularly intense moment of change in Johannesburg and beyond".

I'm sure the designers and developers did not have this in mind when they designed and built it!

Apparently, Ponte was sold and there have been many changes and upgrades to the building. 

Here we fucking go again!

 

Well well well...... here I go again. 

After a very long break, I have decided to get back to blogging about the country I live in - South Africa. 

I will have to go back in my archives and see where I left off. One thing for sure is and I think many of my overseas readers will be as dumbfounded as I am at the way South Africa has changed......but one thing for sure is South Africa is NO better than it was. As a matter of fact, it is a lot worse. 

It sucks!

The ruling party of South Africa is still as perfidious as anyone can get.

Here's hoping those who read my "old" and "new" blog will enjoy.

I'm a lot older and more outspoken than I was when I started blogging all those years ago.

My English might not be the best but hey it's me! 

I swear. 

I swear a lot! 

So, you can be assured of loads of swear words .....If this offends you as many South Africans say, "Ag shame" and my personal favourite...."Fuck, Fuck You or just plain Fok"

How we left and right is something we ourselves control! Read that again!
