Background

Mike Nkuna, chairman of developer Masingita Group, first conceived of placing a mall in Protea Glen in 2005, as residents had been traveling to Lenasia for their shopping.[7] It is the first mall located in the Johannesburg suburb, which has only been developed since the 1990s. It has been the sixth mall to open in Soweto.[8] Locally, it is considered notable for having both rival supermarket retailers Pick n Pay and Shoprite among its tenants.[9]

gollark: No, that's just it being stupid.
gollark: <@215941165785022464> Race conditions: the new bot is apparently now split into lots of bits, and if they aren't synchronized properly it might be possible to extract coins from the differences between them.
gollark: I wonder if there are any weird race conditions in it too.
gollark: It might not be *infinitely* actually, but definitely an odd quirk.
gollark: Okay, I just found another way to get (very small) amounts of money which a bot could trivially do in a loop or something. If this is deemed an issue there'll inevitably be a hacky "fix" for it, but the system is fundamentally broken.
