Pertinent image. Perfect lighting and lightning. Could be Rian although the death took place at the coast. Tragic. Including the 140,000+ deaths on South African roads every year due to reckless and arrogant driving. We are #24 in the world by deaths per 100,000. There is not a large margin of numbers between us and #1. No one stops any more at lights, stop streets, at pedestrian crossings, at schools and crèche’s.
