I've read through the article you provided a URL to. I do believe the culprit is most likely the program that I cannot remove. Whenever I try to do that, the pop-up appears, I confirm the removal, the progress bar is shown for about 3 seconds, then the pop-up disappears and the package stays there on the list of installed programs.īitDefender says it cannot complete the installation due to the presence of another antivirus.

What kind of nonsense is this from the government? Nobody would want to repeat the tiring and frustratingly slow process of obtaining ID cards just to get the new-look cards. We stand in queues for days, not being assisted unless you go to their offices as early as 04:00. *** *** : SMS Of The Day HOW can the ministry of home affairs start with a process of issuing new ID cards when they are already failing with issuing the old ID cards? We have to wait for months to receive our ID cards. May the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, guard your hearts and minds in Jesus Christ. *** *** : SMS Of The Day I WANT to salute our healthcare workers and security forces for a job well done during the Covid-19 pandemic.

It is precisely this idea that gives rise to massive unemployment. *** : SMS Of The Day THE idea that the education system should meet the demands of the labour market is laughable.
