Eblockwatch “Snakes & Ladders”

Eblockwatch “Snakes & Ladders” App is used as a tool for teaching the effects of good deeds versus bad.

All games have morals; and the game of Snakes and Ladders captures, as no other activity can hope to do, the eternal truth that for every ladder you hope to climb, a snake is waiting just around the corner, and for every snake, a ladder will compensate.

Drivers behaviour mirrors the contempt that we as South Africans generally have for each other. Eblockwatch believes that our project will at first be a tool for drivers to release their frustration in an acceptable way and at the same time assist the authorities create strategies on where drivers drive dangerously and who the serial offenders are.

But it's more than that; no mere carrot-and-stick affair; because implicit in the game is unchanging twoness of things, the duality of up against down, good against evil; the solid rationality of ladders balances the occult sinuosities of the serpent; in the opposition of staircase and cobra we can see, metaphorically, all conceivable oppositions, Alpha against Omega, father against mother.[21]

They were bullies, and they showed contempt for everyone and everything.
