So often we as humans try and find ways around a problem instead of solving it. Drive around South Africa’s roads, and you’ll quickly notice a lot of Beware of Pothole signs. To me this is very strange, rather put up a sign to say there are potholes, than fixing them. I know there are money and other issues to consider, but it just makes it more obviously we’ll rather tackle the symptom than the cause.
What happens when the government fails by not being able to control driving on beaches? They ban the vehicles on there obviously, rather than trying to educate and police people. Once again, I know there are other issues involved like money and man power, but it’s just sad that we cannot work towards curing the problem, rather than just making the symptoms go away.
Another example here in Port Elizabeth, is that the municipality now wants to ban all dogs on beaches. They believe that the dogs are dirtying the beaches, and want to avoid all the attacks by dogs on the beaches lately. I also believe this is a problem, but surely why can they not start enforcing the rules that are always there? Only dogs with leashes allowed on the beach? Rather than try and get this done, they want to ban the dogs from the beaches completely. This is very sad, because our poor dogs love walking on the beach.
I want to applaud the DA party and give them 10 out of 10 for their recent efforts. They took it upon themselves to go down to the beaches with doggie poop bags and hand them out while speaking to the dog owners. This is awesome, try and educate the people. It might not have solved the problem, but at least they’re trying to get to the problem, instead of just the symptoms of it.
