Neighborhood meeting happened. During load shedding, nogal! So we sat in the dark with our lamps and phones for light.

Went well, considering. Looks like we've figured out how to save the jobs of two security guards.

But I'm left absolutely exhausted.

Some people had a lot of anger, often perfectly valid, but they don't seem to know how to express it other than being bullies.

On the other hand, many articulate, kind, and effective people as well.
Able to express their dissatisfaction without it becoming a personal attack.

Was deeply weird. Whoever arranged the chairs set them up in tight parallel rows, so we were all squashed together not able to see one another, and most of the room in front of us empty as if there was going to be dancing!
