We live in a mad country or the excise department is living in the Victorian age.... Independence means freedom for the Republic, something the leaders of this country are out of touch with....
Closed roads, shops closed, liquor not available, next they will say to stay indoors.

Independence Day and colonial laws are enforced.

Check your facts, Sokrates. This used to be a free and reasonable country while under colonial rule. This liquor ban madness was introduced by the local politicians to suit all sorts of rubbish narrative.

Historical ignorance of this country. What has liquor to do with Independence day? If it is for a sign of respect, then even selling fish and meat needs to be banned because that is a killing of a life on such a day.

Absolutely nothing!!!!!! Stupid, stupid, utterly stupid rules are killing this country's joy. We have become a country of unreasonable laws unless it relates to thieving and thuggery committed by "powerful" families.

Stupid. People should celebrate independence. This is not a religious holiday!
00
Jeanne Friday, 02 February 2024 02:23 AM
Nothing to celebrate here. We were better off before being granted our so-called "independence".

The politicians must have stockpiles at home. What better way to enjoy Independence Day than having booze at home and laughing at the general public?

Is this Independence day a private party for the president and the ministers. You are spending the peoples money to have a lavish day but the people are not allowed to participate.
00
Jeanne Friday, 02 February 2024 12:51 PM
@Sambo : Yep, you are 100% right! And of course the dumbass parachute show!!!! Mustn't miss that, eh!?
