Wow.
I don't want to "down" this thread, but things have gone from bad to terrible in S.A. since apartheid ended. The country is falling to pieces. Google "Eskom & load shedding" for an example. Keeping in mind the cost of electricity (to consumers) went up by nearly 400% over the last 10 years...That's terrible. What's sad is that all I've heard about South Africa is apartheid is over, everything's fixed yay! I mean, without seeking out the information anyway. It's very sad and not a good place to grow up it sounds. People in fortunate countries like the US should spend more time looking into what the majority of the world lives like on a daily basis. It sure makes me feel bad for complaining that I need new shocks on my car and we had a 2 hour power outage this week.
Oh... I hope you didn't dig too deep into the facts. The truth and reality of what's going on down there is not pretty.I'm sorry if this goes too political. I did Google farm murders in SA, not because I like gory things but because if someone's living it i feel like I should educate myself about it.
Donald Trump commented that white farmers in SA are being murdered, the Washington Post claims this is not true and is a myth spread by white supremacists. Well, that goes to show you how much faith we should have in journalism.
