In As You Like It, William
Shakespeare penned his very
powerful and thoughtprovoking
description of the life
of Man:
“All the world’s a stage,
“And all the men and
women merely players;
“They have their exits and
their entrances,
“And one man in his time
plays many parts,
“His acts being seven
a g e s . . . .”
In a sense, it can be argued,
each one of us is a member of
the ‘passing parade’, and we all
have our roles to play as we go
through the allotted
passageways of our life
journeys.
Some of those journeys
include fame and fortune,
achievements and significant
milestones. Others reflect the
challenges of failure and myriad
obstacles that have been
encountered on their particular
routes.
For most, their life journeys
consist of a combination and
range of the positive highlights
and the sobering low points that
challenge mankind.
Clearly the circumstances of
our individual journeys are
incontrovertibly directed by the
timing and location of their
earthly existence.
Early stone-age man would
have encountered social and
environmental factors vastly
different to the realities of
technology-driven 21st century
living. The lifestyles and
challenges of the Roman Empire
era were nothing like those of
the Inuit in Greenland and
Iceland.
Some would contend that
fate is the determining factor.
All the world’s
a stage
THE ROLES WE PLAY: We are all called on to take on different parts throughout our lives
Picture: PIXABAY
But nobody can escape the
reality that we all play out our
roles in the passing parades of
life. Students of history,
archaeology, sociology and
other humanities-related fields
invariably come to an
understanding and appreciation
of the absorbing vibrancy and
captivating interest-value
reflected in the affairs of
h u m a n i t y.
The historical and current
parades depict events,
achievements, actions and
deeds that range from
groundbreaking to astounding,
exciting, regrettable,
catastrophic and evil.
But they all contribute to our
flawed and dynamic human
journey, and reflect who we are.
Some would interpret
‘p a ra d e ’ in its military or
ceremonial sense and there is
merit in that on the appropriate
level. Perhaps this more
contained interpretation is a
microcosm of the broader
application, but its huge
significance to the military is
reflected in:
“We were a self-centred
army without parade or gesture,
devoted to freedom, the second
of man’s creeds, a purpose so
ravenous that it devoured all our
strength, a hope so transcendent
that our earlier ambitions faded
into its glare”—Seven Pillars of
Wisdom by TS Lawrence,
and
“The muffled drum's sad roll
has beat
“The soldier's last tattoo;
“No more on Life's parade
shall meet
“The brave and fallen few.
“On Fame's eternal
camping-ground
“Their silent tents are spread,
“And Glory guards, with
solemn round
“The bivouac of the dead”.
— Bivouac of the Dead by
Theodore O'Hara.
While it seems accurate and
a transcendental truth that our
role is inextricably bound to the
‘passing parade’ of all humanity,
it is arguably not healthy to
focus on or become obsessed
with this thought.
Going with the flow seems
the sensible choice and
Sylvester Stallone expressed an
aspect of this in his views:
“When you’re on top and
you lead the parade, everyone’s
there throwing lilies and lilac
water on your head. But when
those parades have gone by and
there’s a storm in your heart,
there are very few people that
(sic) are going to sit there and
listen to you bemoan life”.
Finally, for those who have
an abiding interest in the affairs
of man, the observations by
Gary Trudeau:
“I’m still passionately
interested in what my fellow
humans are up to. For me, a day
spent monitoring the passing
parade is a day well-spent”.
BCM working hard to overcome billing issue
SIPHOSIHLE DYONASE
BCM is encouraging residents to
use their nearest revenue office
in order to make payments.
Overcrowding and lack
of social distancing are common
features outside the Munifin
Centre on Oxford Street, as the
GO! & Express recently
o b s e r ve d .
Residents are lined up as
early as 8am, some even before
6am, in order to resolve their
rates and service accounts.
“This is upsetting and
ch a o t i c ,” said a Westbank
resident who did not want to be
named. “In my case they
combined the water and
electricity bill which resulted in a
ridiculous amount of money.
They never gave me a monthly
bill that states the separate
charges for the accounts.”
Their sentiments were shared
by Sabelo Situli of Amalinda.
“It's annoying, the
municipality does things out of
ignorance and then waits for the
situation to get out of hand. The
municipality must not make
money out of us, we all want
money. [BCM mayor] Xola Pakati
must do something about it, not
THINK
ABOUT IT
Roy Hewett
just sit in his office. On top of it,
we are still in the middle of the
p a n d e m i c ,” Situli said.
BCM communications officer
Bathandwa Diamond said that
the municipality had noted the
challenges relating to billing
enquires.
“We are working with our
revenue management offices
operating in King William’s
Town, East London and in
Bhisho to try and resolve some of
the issues affecting our
c o n s u m e r s ,” Diamond said.
According to Diamond,
BCM had suspended its credit
control policies due to Covid-9
and consumer accounts were
not suspended or blocked.
“The City has resumed its
credit control action since
N ove m b e r on accounts that are
in arrears which has resulted in
long queues at our revenue
offices as consumers visit these
offices to query their accounts
and some come to make
arrangements on how to settle
their bills.
“The Metro has, however,
made provisions to attend to the
consumers by closing the office
in King William Town at 7pm
ensuring that all the consumers
are serviced,” said Diamond.
As a means of avoiding long
queues, the Metro encourages
consumers to use the following
payment options to settle their
accounts:
● An electronic fund transfer
via your banking provider, and
● EasyPay at most chain store
till points and BCMM electricity
ve n d o r s .
Residents that would like to
make arrangements to pay their
accounts must do so in person at
their nearest municipal revenue
management offices.
King William’s Town
consumers are encouraged to
use BCM satelite offices for the
same services in ILitha,
Dimbaza, Bhisho, Zwelitsha and
in Phakamisa. Residents in
Mdantsane can use rent offices
closer to their residential areas.
“The City has introduced a
smart reading system to curb
some of the issues and as of to
date we have rolled out over
61,000 through out the BCM and
we are currently installing smart
meters in Mdantsane,” said
Diamond.
