Obviously business practices are applied in all sorts of 'business' scenarios. In Nigeria begging is a full time career for some and they make more in a day than some salaried workers. They're very aggressive as well. It's great to see some sign of humaness in the metropolis. People keep saying to me that people are nicer outside Jozi, I saw it when I went to Limpopo. My question is however, do peole completely forget what they were brought up with, the principles etc, once they move to the city??Ijeoma Uche-Okekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04719584212904035171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039294520616798476.post-1884843822864489222007-07-23T14:48:00.000+02:002007-07-23T14:48:00.000+02:00Hi Sue,Wow...I like the way you have put it. It's ...Hi Sue,<BR/>Wow...I like the way you have put it. It's a matter of surviving in the growing Joburg. New strategies are needed in order to face new habits. With the rise of prices, people don't give as before. But you just remind me of an exceptional case which happen on thirsday 1pm around fourways on our way back to Joburg. We stopped at a robot with a white guy driving a common-car just in front of us. He called the robot's softdrink vendor and give him 20R, took one coke and told the vendor to give one to the taxi driver just behind us. All cars at the robot saw the scene and we were so touched. The taxi driver couldn't believe his eyes and was laughing with all his teeth. Coming from Sun City there was a big jam that day. May be the taxi driver drove safely and the white guy appreciated. Things are changing in Joburg for the better or the worst. Remember to give a small bone to your dog if he does what you expect. That encourages.<BR/>AdamAdam N.

The camera follows them through the day, their views on life, on what they do, their dreams and desires. It was impressive and the ignorance of the people in the cars (and with the money in their pockets) about them was a true indictment of the injust society in which we live.Thomas Michael Blaserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00412101900050074061noreply@blogger.com
