Apocalypse Now

It's the season of thunder and lighting in Jozi, but Radio 702 went a bit too far this morning. The way they made the expected downpour the leadstory at 7am, sounded like the apocalypse was about to happen within minutes. The end of the world as we know it. Darkness descends forever. Armageddon awaits. Say your final prayers!

Probably some Jehovah witnesses were all in a high (sorry folks!), but it was just another rainy moment. Nothing more, nothing less. Townships weren't swept away by the apocalyptic storm. Eskom survived the drops from the sky. Nobody - as far as I know - got stuck under a fallen tree because of gusting winds. So why this mad newsreports about the pending disasters from the sky?

Take a deep breath and smell the fresh air.
