Truth is truth... perhaps you're not affected and for this I am grateful. Others on the other hand are not so lucky.

I think its beter to leave the telling of the truth well alone.
Especially when there are individuals that still have "Business" interests, property, etc, here.
I too have property here, that I would LOVE to sell for a fair price, to re invest in Australia or new zealand. I still live in South Africa, and while I still live here, (Still busy with the visa process) I cant wait to leave.
While my House, car, and all I own is paid up for, its the way it was settled that is interesting. . .Try being crushed by a black man at work. . .He didnt even have a hearing, nothing was done about it. I had to get lawyers at my own cost to sort this mess out, and boy is it costing, first court date is only in february 2010.
Luckily I had insurances. . .these paid for my house, etc, but I would rather have been "Whole" with some debt, than what I have now.
No, SA is definately not for me, my wife and 3 year old daughter (Wife was 3 months pregnant when I got crushed- Abdomen, pelvis, left leg)
And while I still have a trade thats in high demand, even with a prosthesis, I should easily make a go of it. Here in SA, with the current company, they said I can never climb the ladder because of it, so I prefer a country that is more flexible and without the affirmative action.
Nah, you can have SA. just buy my house, and I will glady invest else where.
