Water supply to the city has been cut for almost 4 weeks. So when will we get water then?
After May 31st is the answer. So, it could be June 1st or 30th or Christmas Day or…!
The rail line has been laid but the railway depot or container terminal will come later.
The red bus lanes have been painted but the buses will come later
The seaport has been constructed but the roads and rails to access it will come later.
The bypasses have been built but the pedestrian paths will come later
It seems to have permeated all walks of our lives…
The roads have been ripped up for re-carpeting, but the new tarmac or paving will come later.
The roads have finally been tarmacked, but the yellow lines will come later..maybe.
The water pipelines have been laid we can’t have water as the filling of the dams will come later.
The dams filled, but unblocking the now silted pipeline will come later.
Water in your tap? Oh, that will come later the purification plant is not working.
The power generating farms are generating, but the power lines will come later.
Taxes have been paid but services will come later. Or not.
Neighbourhood associations commit residents to projects but the money will come later.
Raise the subscription rates. But the AGM approval? You got it, later!
Your delivery will take not less than 45 minutes! What the the hell is that? You are telling me my burger and fries could get to me anytime between 46 minutes and eternity!
Planning approval been given for your garden wall, but the approval for hoarding to secure and commence building … eeeesh! Later!!
Being non commital, It seems to be a cultural thing, rather like our political promises.
