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...
DO NOT Google anything related to violent crime, farm murders etc. (There is a lot of extremely graphic and upsetting stuff posted and shared about that online, so I'd suggest just avoid it completely) Just take it from me, whites are being murdered daily, especially farmers and their families. I personally survived two attempts on my life, the second one nearly succeeded.
Things are BAD down there.
