One of the perks of the job - your wife can visit at any time!
This guy very proudly gave his title as "The Prince Alfred Street Car Guard".
A Car Guard is exactly that - usually a self-appointed guard of cars in an open parking area. These opportunities arose because unattended cars were either broken into, or stolen, in public parking areas. Now, each guard will watch a number of cars, and if your car is still there, and undamaged when you return, you give him/her a few coins as payment. While there are no guarantees, this works quite well in most areas.
Through the Transkei
-
Up early again, cos everyone's itching to get through the Transkei. When
the bikes start revving, you know you'd better hurry, or you could be left
behind....
