It’s hard to be a car guard

J Snyman from Krugersdorp writes:

The article Do car guards serve a purpose?, which was published in the 27 January edition of the News, has reference.

Car guards are important in today’s way of living in South Africa. They don’t earn a monthly salary as people might think, but have to make a living from generous donations.

They have to deal with rude people that want to run them over and bump them on purpose. People also lie to car guards. They say car guards must keep an eye on their cars without giving a fee for the car guards. The standing fees that the car guards must pay, must be paid every week and the standing fees are increased yearly by whoever they work for.

The car guards also stress and worry if they see that they might not make their standing fees for that week.
