And before people start automatically blaming apartheid - folks that ended 12 years ago. Actually, it was pretty much done by the late eighties.
At which point does the present government take responsibility for its actions and realise that the buck stops with them?
But then again, it's always someone else's fault.
It's amusing, but also saddening to read the questions on this forum 'Is it safe to go to Sandton?', or 'Is it safe to take a bus to the airport?' Fifteen years ago that woud never have been an issue - for white and black alike.
Those questions have to be asked, however, because the so-called police force in South Africa is just as corrupt and inept as the present government.
I remember asking naive white people in South Africa many years ago why they thought that South Africa would be different from the rest of Africa when black majority rule came.
They just 'knew' it would be.
I wonder how many of them have been robbed, and how many times.
