Wees wakker!<\/p>\n
Elke tweede skool se leuse is mos: Wees wakker of Ons Bou!<\/p>\n
Ons Bou het lankal verander na: Ons breek af. Ons brand af. Ons demand.<\/p>\n
Met die nuwe Suid-Afrika het die leuse van Ex unitate vires – From unity, strength – verander na .?ke e: ?xarra ?ke – diverse people unite.<\/p>\n
Ja en nou is dit: Wees Wakker.<\/p>\n
!*!&^! – of jy gaan – !)*!&!<\/p>\n
Om elke hoek en draai l\u00ea “hulle” vir jou en wag.<\/p>\n
Klim jy in jou kar en ry dorp toe: Wees wakker!<\/p>\n
Keer vir jou beursie, jou selfoon en jou handsak.<\/p>\n
Jou kar se sentrale sluitstelsel gaan buite werking gestel word.<\/p>\n
As jy gaan geld trek: Wees wakker!<\/p>\n
Op een of ander manier gaan “hulle” jou kaart in die hande kry en in ‘n japtrap is jou geld weg.<\/p>\n
Doen jy sake met enigiemand: Wees wakker!<\/p>\n
Koop ‘n kar en glo andermaal in die “eerlike” en “vriendelike” verkoopsman.<\/p>\n
Bestudeer hierdie maand die rekening. Ongelooflik! Skielik het die koopprys met R15 000 aangegroei.<\/p>\n
Wees wakker vir Valsboek.<\/p>\n
‘n Vriend se gewese vrou se status verander skielik na “in ‘n verhouding”.<\/p>\n
Die nuwe man in haar lewe werk op skepe, ‘n ingenieur.<\/p>\n
Sy foto is daar, de lot.<\/p>\n
En toe moet sy begin geld inbetaal, sodat hy ‘n pakkie kan afhaal.<\/p>\n
Later leen sy by familie geld.<\/p>\n
Duisende rande word bestee, maar die man bestaan nie eers nie en dit is ‘n skema bedryf deur Nigeri\u00ebrs uit Johannesburg.<\/p>\n
Wees wakker! Jou geld in die bank is nie veilig nie.<\/p>\n
Standard Bank het in ‘n japtrap R300 milj. verloor.<\/p>\n
Gelukkig is daar iets soos “notification” op jou selfoon wat transaksies aandui.<\/p>\n
En so verdwyn R1 000 een aand, oorbetaal aan MTN.<\/p>\n
Nog nooit met MTN sake gedoen nie.<\/p>\n
“Iemand was in jou rekening,” bevestig die bank.<\/p>\n
Hoe lank moet ons aangaan om julle te oortuig?<\/p>\n
Nee, dit is nie meer ?ke e: ?xarra ?ke nie, dit is: Wees wakker?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
