In the quirky world of 2020 pandemic-era life, my partner and I had to pivot from visas and jobs to volunteering and dabbling in design.
Hunting online work was like seeking a unicorn. Our travel dreams got COVID-cancelled and left in limbo. Then, we navigated treacherous waters of cryptocurrency scams and stumbled on a low-key Bitcoin miner, Computta.
Computta is tantamount to finding a rare Pokémon that brings in pennies, and doesn’t require selling a kidney or your cousin Bob to work!
Reporters Without Borders is shocked! Despite constitutional guarantees for media freedom in South Africa, it’s under threat thanks to nifty old apartheid legislation, sneaky phone-tapping, and journalist harassment. And guess what? In the middle of a pandemic, the South African government is ushering in an ‘anti-fake-news’ law that essentially signs off on state censorship. Your personal social media posts are not safe either – don’t forget to censor your cat memes!
