Royal Protection Services


Did you know that South Africa has its own "Royal Protection Service"? I certainly didn't until I drove past a SAP vehicle in Sandton this morning indicating that it belonged to the KZN branch of the Royal Protection Services. A bit of sleuthing revealed that it is a branch of the SAPS which falls under the command on the KZN police commissioner. Quite what it was doing in JHB I am not sure. A shopping trip, for Royal wives? Perhaps affairs of State? Good to know my tax money is being well spent.

Silly! All the Royals are collecting in Joburg to fly in presidential private jets to some exotic island locale on a fact-finding mission.

Cynic!

I've way to much Goodwill to be a cynic.

Ah, then you've yet to become a true Joburger! You'll wear down with time, you'll see...

Was being a bit cryptic for so early in the week. But I was referring to this type of Goodwill. I take some wearing down though.
