No-one walks at night, only drives. (Unless you are in a small town where the police has a tight hand.)
We have car guards. First it was informal. Now it is regulated at shopping centres. You pay a tip when you drive out.
Some places it is informal. If you are a regular and you do not pay the tip, you car might get scratched.

I do not know who has the market in Johannesburg, but in Cape Town all the professionals use Orms. It has most of the brands, camera hire, printing, book creation, framing, all in one shop. You even get great coffee while you wait.

Nothing beats the experience of going into an actual store.  Can be more dangerous because you have the gear in your hands!

The last 5 bodies I bought was all second hand, the last 4 lenses I bought was second hand.
I only had problems with one lens that developed fungus. 

The specs are SO enticing, but give me an old Canon 40D with low milage and I am happy.
You can pick them up for $100-150 because if they die, there is no repairs anymore.

All alcohol is banned here during lockdown.
People got very clever very soon.
The price of pineapple doubled.
Yeast was sold out for a week or two.
People are sharing recipes and videos online.
