Dear Editor,
Freedom of speech is not a limited nor concise concept. However over the years, I have experienced why under various circumstances and occasions my parents would remind me to "Think before you talk" Not doing so has been detrimental to a whole lot of people who neglected that. I will give an example and leave it to the discretion of your readers to explain what is wrong with this:
*Invoice date – 08 May 2026
*Due date – 08 June 2026
*Period from – 02 April 2026
*Period to – 03.May 5.2026
One would want to know where am I coming from. Definitely not in defence of NV GEBE. There is a person who I believe is misinterpreting the information on an invoice from NV GEBE and instead of he making sure what he understood is what is printed on the bill, that person got on social media and used all kind of obscene and indecent language to ridicule NV GEBE.
My parents used to warn us that “not because someone is known go be a well-known thief, that person is responsible for all robberies”.
That rant is all over WhatsApp so by time this letter is in the paper, social media should have been overflowed by that rant. My question is: "Where in those four dates is the consumption for the month of June 2026 mentioned?
