Two basic breakdowns in public service here in Cape Town:

1) Major power problems, especially about a year ago when it was a good day if there was only one blackout of a few hours. ESKOM ( the power company) has tried to make it seem that the blackouts are the public's fault for using too much power, as opposed to being due to embarrssingly bad managment on ESKOM's part.

2) Filthy streets. For a while now there has been some church sponsored clean-up crew that is helping keep the streets clean in the CBD. They walk around slowly picking up trash wearing bibs that advertise JESUS SAVES. Although I'm glad someone is doing something, I always hate having religion pushed in my face. I actually think it would be better if the bibs read, JESUS: CLEANING UP THE STREETS. It also seems that the municipality is geting off easy.

This is a design for a T-shirt that I threw together, but never actually produced. I wanted it to be funny and offensive, as well as highlighting the issue of responibility.
