AT first, Blabber wanted to devote space to that other very senior law enforcer, widely known for her no-nonsense stance on duty.
We all know how she tossed people around in our beloved city, and the same behaviour was reported when she moved to that other city of stones.
Abusing her position, Yours Truly was recently made aware of how she is reluctantly failing to pay back substantial amounts she owes several businessmen.
If you think Yours Truly is lying, ask that other former banker who used to run a hardware shop where she took building material some years back when she was constructing a building in the Central Business District.
Anyway, that is not the story of the day.
Yours Truly intends to explore the vices of adult poverty, which seem to be affecting many of our comrades, especially after leaving service.
For some reason, people are failing to make ends meet, and it is sad to see our dear brothers and sisters struggle after retirement, when the same people lived very comfortable lives while still in service.
This is what Blabber has noticed in our contemporary communities.
One needs not go far for living examples. There are two male former senior law enforcers, who were known for their heavy-handedness, when dealing with commuter transport operators — that have now hit hard times.
One of them occupied a respected post in the system where he was handed that watch worn on the right hand.
Today, the boy is surviving on the same things he used to fight so heavy-handedly when he was still in the force.
He is operating a pirate taxi to and from that other nearby alluvial gold mining area, where he is not just ferrying passengers, but hard-core drugs too.
Perhaps this dude is using his connections in the force to make his way past the many roadblocks we see every day along the road to that gold mining area.
For now, Blabber will not say much about the identity of the two retired officers who are now surviving on the illegal activities they spent a lifetime fighting.
It is just a matter of time.
What is more important for now is the lesson that adult poverty is real, ladies and gentlemen.
Let us work hard to prevent it in our own personal lives, as it has become one of the major causes of early graves.
I rest my case!
