In an article published in The Times, I was heartbroken to read all about how a member of our government has changed the by-law’s about pay-as-you-go sim cards across all networks in our country.

No longer will we be free to buy R5 start up packs at the nearest PEP stores without producing ID and proof of residential address. I personally think this is a load of bull kak.

Yeah, that’s right, I said it. Look over here, so you know I’m not bluffing you. Now I’ll list for you my reasons.

Firstly, its admin.

Not only will we lose our freedom in buying cheap sim cards to use willy nilly to prank call our mates anonymously, but the Networks will be losing a lot of their pay-as-you-go appeal. We’re going to have to produce all this paperwork just to allow ourselves the opportunity to drunk dial an ex and tell them how far wrong they were in letting us go. We’re one of a kind, dont you know? *slur slur slur* .

Secondly, lets be honest here – who actually carries their ID and proof of residence around with them?

I know I sure as hell don’t.

Thirdly, it’s going to cost the network’s millions.

Which in turn, will make them up the rates (again) so we will have to fork out more airtime than usual just to keep in contact with that dude on the other end of the country, in case you happen to be flying there sometime in the near future and you’d like to keep the Horizontal Fandango lines open. Because you never know what might happen.

Fourthly, just like with the smoking legislation, I feel that our Ministers need to lighten the fuck up.

Who in the hell wants to smoke in a goldfish tank while producing their ID in order to purchase a sim card and henceforth drunk-diallage the ex and then prank a friend anyway?

Psssh. Not me. So gather your pitch forks with me and lets all shout together now:

ViVa La Resistance!
