South Africa

[TSIPP]

There's no way I'd take my family down to South Africa, I know a few people that lived there and it's one of those shithole country's.

But if you're in the funeral home business or a coffin builder it's game on.

Ah parasite that’s funny.

But it’s property.

Not LEGO like you play with

Yeah sure - had it for 10 years and never boasted about it or slipped it into the conversation once - not even on the recent posts about the current troubles in SA. I'm calling BS on this one.

If only you knew. Sf3 and his family worked very hard for a long time. And invested in many things.


John doesn't need me to defend him but seriously quit being a dink.

Can we please stay on topic.


LOL.

Is this ball busting or do you guys really hate each other?

I can't tell, but there's probably a chemical you can use to get rid of parasites.

Just two perfect examples of a capitalist and socialist.

Capitalist works hard and makes smart use of his money.

Socialist just hates the capitalist success and would like to take it all away for the 'public good'. These people also have some kind of ****ed-up barometer that details the maximum amount of money a person should have (basically just above poverty) - everything above that is 'greed'.

Not South Africa but zimbabwie.

My dad had a POW freind there they corresponded for years until finally my dad made it there in 96 or 97, he was a tobbacco farmer, had black workers they loved the boss man according to my dad.

Whole farm had a perimeter chain fence, to protect one the white farmer and his family and the two all the black workers that worked there.

He feared for his future even his life, things were bad and my dad felt horribly uneasy.
More communication occured over christmas that year but hasnt been heard of since, just vanished. One letter was returned to sender which may have been a clue all wasnt well.

Appears SA may have reached that point.

According to a SA freind its a land grab by ruling party for mineral rights. Rather than farm land, appear the blacks may well get shafted by the ANC, despite appearing to be helping indigenoius locals.

Mallee, South Africa is a long way from the mess Zimbabwe is - not saying it won't go the same way but it's not there yet by a long chalk. It took a long, long time for Zimbabwe to get as bad as it got.

I travelled in South Africa in may of 2016 and last sept I travelled on farms north of jo berg all the way to the northern border against Botswana. I felt very safe on the farms but would be more carful around jo berg.i also spent a week around Cape Town and felt very safe , lots of tourists travelling with kids seemed to be less racial tension.

You guys in canada have quite a influx of south african doctors and nurses.

Fair few here in oz and increasing as fast as they can get accepted through proper channels.

We have a 3 in our regional town, one went back for xmas or the likes, couldnt get "home" quick enough a serious situation that will never get better, be only a small % of whites there in 20 yrs time according to him.
