Well....we finally left the village out of boredom. Now in Pretoria waiting to attend our Close of Service conference. We are finished on 6 September!
As for life here...the strike continues on. Day 22! It is starting to get old. The government offered their best deal on Tuesday (7.5%) but only gave the unions a day to decide....this and they said if they don't except this offer it is back to their first offer which was 6.5%. Well, they didnt take it and the strike continues. I think it may go on forever as both sides are being very stubborn and aren't giving much. Unions are great.
At least we are now in a city. Running water. Good food. And some friends to hang out with.
