South Africa

I'm considering visiting South Africa. I'm a 28 yr old male from the U.S., and would likely be going alone. Is South Africa as violent as it's cracked up to be? I've read some pretty nasty stuff about it, but am still interested in paying a visit.

As more and more farms are stolen from white farmers and handed to people that have no idea how to farm, how long will it be before South Africa goes down the same road as Zimbabwe and ends up begging America and the West to bail them out?

Any ideas?

Another user mentioned that the cost of living has gone up considerably. I've noticed that as well. Just last week I went out for a dinner at "The Dros" and the bill came back R500. My co-worker sugests that the country is getting richer. Is this true or not? I've never been good at math or economics, so please enlighten me!

The Pharmacist Lady walked into a drug store and told
the pharmacist she needed some cyanide. The pharmacist
asked, "Why in the world do you need cyanide?" The
lady then explained she needed it to poison her
husband. The pharmacist's eyes got wide and he said,
"Lord have mercy, I can't give you cyanide to kill
your husband! That's against the law! I'll lose my
license... They'll throw both of us in jail and all
kinds of bad things will happen! Absolutely not! You
can NOT have any cyanide!" Then the lady reached into
her purse and pulled out a picture of her husband
having dinner in a restaurant with the pharmacist's
wife. The pharmacist looked at the picture and
replied, "Well, now... You didn't tell me you had a
prescription"

Two business men were having a discussion, and one of them said, "Maybe it is my luck but I don't know why my son is very dull". The other man replied,"you are much more lucky. My son is much more stupid". To know who was right, they decided to test their sons.
The first one called his son, "Akin, go and bring my suitcase from my bedroom". Akin went inside and came out with the carry case of the new suit his dad bought the previous day.The man said to his friend,"can you see what I am talking about?"
The second man man laughed and said,"your son has potential. Let me show you how stupid my own son is". He then called his son; Efe, and told him to go to his office and check if he was on his seat. Efe went to his dad's office and came back after two hours panting. Efe then said to his dad, "papa i reaching the office but you were not there so I left a message with you secretary to tell you that you sent me to come check up on you".

If you take some time and scheme through these stories. The South Africans that are being deported have all the right, supporting documentation, valid reasons of entry to the countries they are visiting, yet they get treated like criminals and terrorists.

He goes to the German hell and asks, "What do they do here?
"He is told, "First they put you in an electric chair for an hour. Then they lay you on a bed of nails for another hour. Then the German devil comes in and whips you for the rest of the day." The man does not like the sound of that at all, so he moves on.He checks out the USA hell as well as the Russian hell and many more. He discovers that they are all more or less the same as the German hell. Then he comes to the African hell and finds that there is a long line of people waiting to get in. Amazed, he asks, "What do they do here?" He discovers that they are exactly the same as the rest. "But that is exactly the same as all the other hells - why are there so many people waiting to get in?" "Because maintenance is so bad that the electric chair does not work, someone has stolen all the nails from the bed, and the devil is a former Government employee, so he comes in,
signs the register and then goes home to sleep."

I have met so many people that think that in South-Africa animals run wild and that there is no infrastructure. If you vist this country - when you get off the plane you either get attacked by wild animals or criminals?

Do people realise that we actually have more city than wild life and that wild life can only be found in nature reserves. We have everything you will find in other countries - yes even satalite tv.

Is there realy people out there that think South-Africa has nothing but animals and criminals?

The Waterkloof Four were given sentences of 12 years in prison.
Now, I believe that if they are guilty then they got what they derserve.

The question however is why there is such a massive media coverage (newspapers, top stories on TV news, etc) given specifically to this case when there are over 15000 murders a year in SA, many in much more brutal circumstances which would stimulate similar public interest.

Why is it that when there is a White on Black murder, it is immediately "racist" but when the situation is reversed, it is practically never given the same treatment?

This begs the question of whether racism towards whites is regarded as acceptable?

"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."
Thomas Jefferson

The Amended South African firearm control act of 2006 dictates that all gun owners must re-register their firearms. The process is (of course) painstakingly slow as it meanders through the politically correct and inefficient South African beaurocracy, with no guarantee of a renewed license.
Many of these weapons, that have been turned in to the backward and corrupt new South African police services, whilst awaiting renewal of the application, have miraculously found their way into the hands of violent criminals and used in robberies and murders.
The cops are criminals, too.

The first 'civilized' nation to enact gun control laws was Nazi Germany, in 1933.
Before a population can be overwhelmed, it first must be disarmed.

The talk doing the rounds is that the SACP / COSATU will break away and register as a political party, there is even talk that from within the party the younger members are planning to form a new party more inline with the needs of the people, a party catering for the muslim community will also spring up and have access to huge funding from middle east countries, is this the begining of real political turmoil in South Africa as never seen before. What next ????????????????
