Before I speak about the law, let me quickly enlighten you about an aspect of suburban life that has a mixed value of bemusement and amusement for me.
Most of you will have heard about Schroedinger's cat. In short, this imaginary feline sits in a box being both alive and dead at the same time - in a state quantum indetermination - waiting for someone to open the box and observe it to be either definitely dead or definitely alive. Likewise we have no idea whether it is meowing, purring, licking its paws, or essentially in a state of smelly rot. The basic idea is, that it depends on the laws of quantum physics whether either of the mentioned states is found when the box is opened. Until this happens the kitten is in a combined state of purring, meowing and smelly rottenness.
In South Africa, however, we don't even need to place kitty in a box to observe the unknown state of a situation: you only need to approach one of those teeny roundabouts that one finds in the suburbs. In fact these phenomena of our road make available not two, but three possible states of indetermination - states that you won't know before you actually arrive at the little circle and observe another car that arrives there at the same time. The first is a simple event, is that car coming from the left that cuts right in front of you without taking the trouble of following the rules of the land by going around the teeny circle. If it is a 4x4 they may even drive right across the middle circular hump. Schroedinger made no allowance for this kind of phenomena, which we shall simply call the cranium voidal state.
The other options are somewhat more complex and depends on what you expect of the other car from the left, what he/she expects from you, what you think he/she expects and what he/she expects you will expect. Yes ... I know ... the country's road-law states that the guy entering from the right has the right of way, but as we know, in our little heap of soil, everybody regards him/herself to have the right of way, and laws are there for the ruling party to formulate at moments of seemingly unending idleness [at times they may also keep themselves occupied by copiously contributing to the state of over-population of the planet, and that this is a good thing to do is shown by the important figures who so joyfully participate in this activity in between the formulation (yes, I know you read fornication) of laws.] So if you are a descent law abiding driver, there is the possibility that you will drive within the legal guidelines, if the other guy feels similarly about matters. If not, ... well, then there is always Schroedinger's cat - is it meowing or exuding pongs of death.
Talking about cats, some of you may have noticed that we have rat-sniffers amongst us. True, I have been aware of the rats in our small community, but really, now we have sniffers as well!! Nevertheless, I wanted to write to my blog for some time now, and the sniffer merely inspired me to report back to you about my exciting Thursday, last week.
You see, I saw the sheriff. Yep, shook his hand and chatted with him another NPA personage - a superintendent nogal.
For those of you who are under the impression that not much is happening - that is only the way it seems to be. Things are really happening, only it is not happening very fast.
Mr Sherriff of the NPA is currently visiting Gauteng and we had an appointment last week in Randburg, where I dutifully went and gave my declaration under oath, as well as a good number of copies of my correspondence with Lord Patrick.
I met Mr Sherriff and a Superintendent at the Randburg Inn which, coincidently, has the smallest little swimming pool in the Southern Hemisphere - it is absolutely tiny and too cute for words - So that's all I'll say about it.
IMPORTANT
In short the message is that the investigations are ongoing and will probably continue until sometime in September. There are about 1400 investors to interview and that takes time to do properly as the NPA gents wanted to be as well prepared as can be. The NPA is also working closely with the liquidators and are also awaiting the report by the retired judge who chaired the recent private investigation [I'm still not very happy about the covertness of it all, but then who am I to judge - no pun here]. My impression is that the main Edwafin culprits are not going to get away scot-free, especially since some of their cohorts will also be aiding the state as witnesses.
Can we now begin to talk tentatively about Edwafin's fat cats? Come the end of the year, will we see them in a box, or will they continue their purring and spinning from behind the high-class 4 x 4's, visiting the local Fruit & Veg? Let's not forget that the DMA is still sprouting financial wisdom to all that have been born with a sucker gene. But then, my genes were also suckered by the financial enticement of hopefully-soon-to-be-behind-bars P & B.
Take care when you approach the round-about.

Edwafians in jail, just in time for Xmas 2010 - yes!
The Edwafian crooks have stolen from so many and destroyed so many lives, including mine. Why are they being allowed to get away? They should be put away for a very, very long time, just like all the other criminals of their type! They must rot in jail. Stapleton must be reduced to a skeleton!!
See 4th Circular to Creditors:
http://www.edwafinliquidation.co.za/circulars/Fourth%20Circular%20to%20Creditors%20-%2012%2003%202010.pdf
what's new? any update at all will be appreciated...
Having just found the Edwafin Liquidation site and now this blog...I am so relieved to see that there are 'things' happening which I pray will bring justice to the perpetrators of this heinous crime, which has led to the ruination of many a family household once [still] dependent on the monthly interest income as a very necessary supplement to getting by!!!...let alone the complete loss of all that was invested!!!
