Premium: Busy roads, breakfast meetings, normality returns, but with a difference

So far this week I've had two breakfast meetings; experienced old fashioned Joburg rush hour traffic; enjoyed a face-to-face interaction on an exciting new project; and been told office space we were eyeing is no longer available because someone has literally taken over the whole building.

South Africa is fast returning to post-pandemic normality. Sure, we still wear masks into public areas, but they're universally dispensed with at the earliest opportunity. People are acting rationally. Daily Covid mortalities are now below SA's daily murders. Recorded new daily infections (331 yesterday) have fallen 99% from the peak (26,485).
