Yes, my fellow South African compatriot, we live in the war zone situation in a country not at war. The crime rate is the people at war with themselves, driven mad by circumstances of poverty, unemployment, lack of education and role models in power that also loot.
Like the price of Hive, and also Steemit in the longterm, it has only ever gone down. Expecting this situation to improve is a fools errand. It never has and probably continues to sink.
Hive of course has the benefit of being new, but none of the three SA, Steem and Hive, have ever improved, only devalued in their lifetimes. The charts speak for themselves.

The biggest fear and culprit Sir Julian is no doubt the lack of education. I am not talking about the 30% pass rate that are promoted as "world class" here, but real education.
An educated poor person can be helped, but we work with so many that are totally illiterate.
Like fighting against the wind. Our prisons are bursting at the seams and bedlam rules.
But we cannot sit back and even though we face many uphill's as a charity, we simply continue with our work. If the billions that were looted were poured into the upliftment and improvement of the people living in haggard conditions in the slums, things could have worked out a bit better.
But a new Maseratti and a Gucci suit is more important to a looter than the innocent life of a poor person, or family.
Such is life!
As you said, sitting back is not a better option. Doing charity, voluntary work, doing good, in general, has always felt as if fighting against the wind. And it still matters. It matters to someone. I am sure you are happy about what you succeeded in giving to those who were there to learn from you.
Yes indeed my friend I am happy and sad at the same time, as we could have done so much more, but we have and still are fighting against the odds to survive. But be that as it is, we will continue to fight, as we also know that it matters and that the work must continue!
Fair winds, and soon!
That is what we pray for my friend.
Take care!
Hectic scenario good Sir, you are in the social trenches there, which deserves a medal.
Wow! 20 days ago Sir Julian, you are a busy man.
Not medals that we need, only more support.
Times are tough, but thankfully we are used to it.
