ANNOYING - What Bugs Me is The Lack of Attention to Detail and Quality

Coming back from overseas, from stepping off the plane to getting half way back to Pretoria, I saw two serious issues that indicate a lack of attention!

The first:

I suspect this reflects the absence of FIFA, to keep civil servants on their toes - they revert to not worrying. Alongside the very good posters for South Africa's UNESCO Heritage Sites we use valuable advertising space to misinform tourists!

Then on the beautiful already completed 4 lane freeway (down to barriers, road markings, cat's eyes and street lights) the 80km/h signs are left standing on the 11 km from Pomona Road - no one has thought to take them down and give the hassled motorists some relief!
