Eat your heart out, Porgie!

Thanks for the update, Alf. However, that would be:"What ARE a few mistakes here and there."

Answer 1

OK, buddy! You called me out. So, here goes......

Zim got all but one answer right. South Africa is not the soul producer of the Mercedes Benz, C Class. This car is built at Mercedes-Benz factories in Sindelfingen and Bremen, Germany as well. The thing is.... South Africa is the only country that produces the RIGHT HAND DRIVE VEHICLES for this specific make and model at Daimler Chrysler's South African factory in East London.

(The right-hand-drive version of the Hummer H3 is also being built in Japan and Australia. The General Motors' Struandale plant in South Africa serves as the primary manufacturing center for H3s consumed in markets abroad, but not the only one.)

To answer your question fully,

1. South Africa has the oldest meteor scar in the world, just across the Vaal River near Parys, called the Vrederfort Dome.
2. Walt Disney serves South African wine exclusively at its 73-acre Animal Kingdom Lodge in the United States.
3. South Africa's Dr Percy Amolis invented the Retinal Cryoprobe used successfully on former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher to repair a detached retina.
4. Our tap water quality is third best overall in the world.
5. South Africa is the sole producer of the Mercedes Benz, C Class, right hand drive vehicles.

Keep it real!

Answer 2

Question No 3. Another South African myth bust. Percy Amoils not Amolis as incorrectly spelled on your source southafrica.net did not "invent" the Retinal Cryoprobe" as claimed. He merely developed and refined the Joule-Thomson cryoprobe -see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selig_Percy_Amoils
As for question 4 surely this has to be preceded by the question "And when was the last time they tested it?" There are constant newspaper reports of your Dams being infiltrated by human wasteage and chemical wasteage and I am waiting for the one when someone turns on a Tap and a Turd comes out.
That site is full of myths and is hardly reliable.Ah but what is a few mistakes here and there.
