Good advice Mike. We must be super vigilant

Statistically, it is dramatically more likely to catch COVID-19 now than during the heights of the draconian lockdown. Logically, now is the time for each of us to be much more careful than ever before. This is what I told my family & staff yesterday - and how we will behave.

My son is shocked by my grey streak of hair. He asked if I could dye it as he obviously finds it disturbing. I say it's natural & that the hairdressers are closed for lockdown. He suggests I use food coloring. I ask which color he suggests. "Which ever you have the most of!" 🤣

The ANC has seen how easy it is to deprive its citizens of its freedom to smoke, drink and move about. What's next? The freedom to invest and acquire assets anywhere in the world. My guess is that exchange controls will soon be back and hence your right to invest abroad.
