Between the Lines
SIGNS
The signs on the big hospital used for COVID information still stand but most of them have been eroded by the elements. Could this be a way for the hospital to make some money?
CLOTHING
The second-hand clothes shops are experiencing an influx in people flocking to buy winter clothes. Used or not, as long as they keep people warm.
STREET LIGHTS
Why is it that in some streets, several street lights in a row are not working? The darkness is not helpful to pedestrians and is a safety risk.
STEEL DRUMS
Some people have eardrums of steel. They do not seem to sustain any damage even when their speakers are loud enough to cause vibrations in homes when the cars pass by the neighbourhood.
LOW RATES
The enrolment for preschool or kindergarten is around 26 per cent. This is reflected in the low literacy and numeracy rates teachers are battling with.
CHANGES
Will postal ballots be used in the 2026 elections? There are amendments to the election laws that will be put before the cabinet soon.
