Africa & Middle East - November 2006

The National Assembly has passed the bill that says a marriage is now "a voluntary union between persons" and not "a man and a woman". It must now be approved by the National Council of Provinces and President Thabo Mbeki. What's your take on everything that happened yesterday and of the Supreme Court of Appeal's ruling in favour of a same-sex couple, declaring that the previous law was discriminatory?

What jobs are the most available if a person doesn't speak Arabic (but speaks English, of course)? What is the best way for searching and finding a job? What to do after that? Any advice would be very helpful.

I will be traveling to Egypt in a year or so to get married to my fiance in Cairo. I am an American citizen, and he is Egyptian. We don't have a clue how to get him a Visa to travel back to the U.S. with me, once we are officially married. And we are both very limited in our finances. Neither of us have a clue what to do to prepare for this life-changing occasion. Can he even come here once we are married? Someone please help! We are in love, and don't know what to do! please help.

Idealism, crime, corruption, change -- all things considered, what is daily life like in South Africa?

I'm here in Jozie. Well actually, I'm working in Westbury and living in Roodeport. I'm looking a new place to live and friends.

1. Where (in which area) can I find a nice place to stay for around 2000R/month including electricity and water? The place should be about a taxi ride away from Westbury and in walking distance from a grocery store (like Checkers or Spar), a take-away restaurant or two (and mall?).

2. I only have Saturday afternoons to Monday mornings free. Where can I go to meet people (in their twenties) during that time?


3. If you're in or from the area, send me an e-mail (diggs2002@yahoo.com), I have tons of questions esp. about public transportation.

Please help settle this argument. I have a friend who said without a doubt all egyptian men want to have children. I surely don't think he can speak for an entire nation of men. I know children are an important part of Egyptian culture, but surely with so many people in the country, there is boud to be a few who do not desire to raise children. It is an individual's choice I think. What do you think?

No.
The vast majority of folks in South Africa - white, black and everything in between - are hard-working, decent people, that want to live full lives, with the logical pursuit of happiness, free of the current nightmare of AIDS, crime and government corruption.
Every one of the contributors to this forum, including the numbskulls, are at heart good, earnest and genuine men and women.

South Africa is at its core an amazing place, with particularly unique cultures, warm, friendly people and, if allowed, incredible potential.
There are not many places on Earth that offer such panoramic scenery, genuine wildlife, a warm, embracing population and generally good people.

The food is great, there is so much to see, and, the criminal scum aside, South Africans will wecome people with open arms,
especially now that the nightmare of apartheid has been tossed into the scrap-heap of history.

I mean this from the heart - Amandla!

In my various meanderings through this site, seeing all the denial, wishful thinking, grovelling at the feet of the ANC and genuine sad despair at what has happened to a once great country, that has befallen the fate of all self-ruled African countries - poverty, sickness and general anarchy - I am always slightly amused at the people that have this Hollywoodized vision of the USA.

Do some of you guys actually believe that street gangs roam the streets, that there are car chases, that people carry guns here and that the Mafia controls everything?

Such childish thinking about the USA could not be further from the truth. Things are organized here; citizens by and large respect one another, there is effective law enforcement, and, speaking for the great city of New York, since 1994 we have experienced dramatic drops in crime and renewed investment in this great city.

A footnote: the same team that revolutionized NYC were hired to try to do the same for Jo'burg a few years ago.
