Could you put your real name and photo here so we can show your employer and community the kind of comments you post online. 
By a troupe of baboons, you&#039;re referring to the black government right? And in saying this you are are making a blatent racist statement
Trust me guy, SA is happy to see the back of people like you.
Too bad the US had to pick up another one but I guess you fit right in with current administration
Here&#039;s a history lesson for you and all the other white South Africans making an embarrassment of themselves on these forums.
No. 1
You&#039;re white, which means you started with an unfair advantage in SA
No 2
You think your problems are bad? You think your old neighborhood is bad. You think things have gone downhill for you?
Have you lived in corrugated iron shack before without running water or toilets? No I didn&#039;t think so. Now imagine your mom and grandmother living like that 
Unbearable thought hey. Now just remember as you read this, someone&#039;s grandmother is living in a shack in SA
Did you do anything to help with this problem before the ANC? No you didn&#039;t. Are you doing anything now? No you aren&#039;t
No. 3
South Africa was never safe, with perfect everything. It was always messed up and unsafe in black areas
It came into the white areas and all of a sudden everyone freeks out
No 4
Shit hole? You Are just as much to blame for that state. You, your mommy and daddy, grandpa and grandma. Yes all of you who voted for segregation. You who run away rather then help clean up the mess that all of that created. 

Don&#039;t worry. The rest of us will stay and make things work as best again so that when you come back on your trip, you have vineyards, restaurants, car rentals, an airport etc 

Now you and everyone else who commented negatively about SA, dismount you white privilege high horse and come back to reality]]></description>

South Africa has too much crime at least 71% bad I think. South Africa has very good education but there&#039;s a lot of   shooting here. I do not like this country at all. People litter too much here.The vuvuzala is too noisy. I am very disappointed in this country. I wish I could leave this country                     to go to Mauritius which I am going to open a cafe in Mauritius see you guys there.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I am still living in SA. I have been Hijacked, had a second attempted Hijacking and broken into twice in 5 years. 
Furthermore I work directly with crime everyday and I see the effect it has on everyone lives regardless of their skin colour.
If you ask me, SA is a sinking ship and there is not much more that can be done to stop it.
For those of you who are lucky enough to move out of here, its prob the best decision you have ever made!]]></description>

Hi Richard, I too live near Milan Italy. I visit each year and see my graduate children who did everything right in terms of education and loans they had to pay back, struggle to make ends meet. They gew up under the illusion of the rainbow nation, and what a lie that proved to be I never saw a completely dark rainbow have you.
Until the govt has exhauseted all the huge resources south afica has nothing will change and crime will impact more and more people black and white. very sad. If youd like to email ill send you my address.]]></description>

I would also believe what you are saying is true if my knowledge was as limited as yours I am black I lost 2 children to crime one over a mobile phone and the other in a robbery. Open yours eyes and stop blaming everything else SA is becoming a shit hole and the intelligent ones (not just whites) are leaving takes there brains and money with them! It is idiots like you that will be left behind to face the pending civil war. Good luck.]]></description>

You are so wrong... Wait until one of your family members get killed. Well, not just killed but mutilated as well. Then we will hear your hysteria. No, we are not cowards. We had the money and the means to go. And the courage. 20 years of ANC rule proves of going backward - not forward. Wake up! You are in the boiling frog syndrome!]]></description>

Cannot agree more. Returned to Sydney Australia on Sunday. The crime and corruption is escalating by the day. I go there every 2 years and you can see the deterioration - big scale! Gautrain the only futuristic thing they have...when it works and the electrical cables are not stolen!]]></description>
