Takeaways:
- You can hide your external dustbin before 7am (at least)
- If you dump on someone's premises and no one sees you, the owner is guilty.
- You can't sweep your dust into the drain or onto the road
- Alley-way barbers are illegal
- What do you do if your dog dies? And you don't have a garden to bury him in (I'm sure burying him on public land violates some other law)
- It's lucky that the SAF trains on restricted land, or soldiers would not be able to urinate and/or defecate on it
- If you go to a public toilet and there's no toilet paper and/or soap, you can call the police
- You can't park near refuse collection points
