now this is pretty interesting. I've met a lot of tourists that come to our country and they all seem to complain about the same thing...
the fact that huge events or gatherings in SA, that people can't do it in an organized fashion...
now I've thought about this a few times, and there may be many explanations to this, but my personal opinion is that it is the mob mentality we have here.
its almost like people don't know how to stand in a cue or to form one, everyone just runs to the point trying to be first or something, maybe they think they will win something when they get their first or that they will be treated differently....
now these photos show people, or let me say future students at the University of Johannesburg, trying to get their LATE applications in to go and study. the unfortunate thing is, one kids mother was trampled to death, with no one holding out a hand for help, for this lady who was on the ground, obviously shouting for help...
and people here still wonder why things don't happen on time or in an orderly fashion here. well let me guess, maybe because no one knows how to stand in a fucking queue, or to hand their shit in one time.
not until people realize these 2 simple things will get better.
another place where this mob mentality pops up is in shopping malls, now usually one would think when walking down a hallway in a mall, people would walk in one direction on the one side of the hall, and the other direction on the other side. nope not here, here people just walk, and its becoming an irritation to go to a damn mall...
look south africans, thats what a damn queue look like!!!
