Both our state and that of our Northern neighbour are in stasis, stuck it seems in perpetual gyre, like mice on a treadmill.
The only thing that has changed is the oil price, and thankfully that is coming off a little too.
Even though today is Rohlihlala's birthday, he too has been celebrating that for some months now.
It is time to move on, shift gears at least, jump out of the treadmill and embrace a new era. (Whatever it is, bring it on).
