What are your views on South Africa (the country ,people or culture)? Thanks?

Answer 1

Do you really want to know?

The worlds impression is that there are lions n our back yard, that's if you lucky to have a back yard.
That where ever you go you see poverty
That because the country is in Africa there is only sand and grass.
That woman wear nothing but a cloth to cover their privates

Well this is not true.........................
South Africa may be a third world country but their is nothing that we don't have that a first world country has.
We have big loving cities with stunning beaches.
We have the most friendliest people in the world.
We are one of the most fortunate country that is lucky to have survived apartheid which enable us to live as a unity no matter you colour, religion, wealth etc.
To be honest it's an amazing place even with the crime that even one day we'll be able to resolve as Africans.

Answer 2

South Africa is a wonderful country!! South Africa boasts a unique cultural mix, a history marked by heroism and struggle and an impressive array of heritage sites, not least the Cradle of Humankind, from whence it is believed that our earliest ancestors sprang. The economy of South Africa is the largest and best developed on the continent, with modern infrastructure common throughout the country.

South Africa is often referred to as The Rainbow Nation - a term coined by Archbishop Desmond Tutu and later elaborated upon by then-President Nelson Mandela as a metaphor to describe the country's newly-developing multicultural diversity in the wake of segregationist apartheid ideology.

South Africa is a wonderful place! The country is beautiful, the people are great and friendly and there are the most amazining animals in SA!

This is a daily event... Blacks and Whites are being murdered daily.. they released a figure of R800'000'000.00 aprox stolen this yr alone through black bussiness deals with the ANC goverment.

Your Check List.

>Don't go into Township or black area's with out a guide or personal protection, expetially after dark.
>have medical insurance because state hospitals are now rated equal to that of war tourn countries.
> Use private medical services (netcare, discovery ect...)
>bring a bulletproof vest as many shooting acure.
>Don't go to shops near closing time as this is the best time for armed robberies.
