Besides the bad weather, SA faces a storm of struggles in high unemployment and cost of living and low economic growth.
It has left some feeling like all we have as a nation left is hope.

Hope in a bright, warm, future.
Hope in a new New Dawn.
SA’s latest unemployment figures were released on Tuesday, showing a rise in joblessness to 33.6%.
The New Dawn once promised has had no material progress in reducing the rate of unemployment, with the rate remaining over 30% for more than five years.
Naturally, many have started to question the work and effectiveness of the government of national unity (GNU) which seem more preoccupied with high-profile squabbles than addressing the key issues facing South Africans on a daily basis.
