Today I was trying to find an open post office. Impossible. Their website doesn't list them, instead stating that they can be found on Google Maps (which, unfortunately, shows all those that have been closed). I phoned 6 branches and was met with "number does not exist", an immediate cutting of the line, and only one that rang... unanswered. Not much for the context of your post but an anecdote of frustration.

However, regarding the context of Politicsweb, it's biased. It mostly acts as as a DA/think tank outlet for the West, publishing occasional 'opposition' articles for pretend impartiality. I would prefer a South Africa where criticism flies in all directions.

However, RW Johnson is one of our finest writers!

Dear Ms. Herman,

I am doing a research project on identity politics, populism and social cohesion in SA. I would like to do a short interview with Mr. Johnson. Would it be possible for you to forward my invitation to participate to him?

Best Wishes,

Reinet
