I've seen "advice" like that from the "SA Haters" before.

1st piece of advice:

"Leave SA now, before the ZAR hits 30 against the GBP...then it will be too late". This was when the ZAR was 15 odd to 1, and these "SA haters" predicted 30:1 in no time. It currently stands at a very low 12.8ish to 1. I hope nobody left on that sound piece of advice.

2nd piece of advice:

"Just wait for the 2009 elections - you will see tribalism and bloodshed at its worst - and then you will realise that you should've left SA". Now I'm not being funny or anything....but these were the most peaceful elections i have ever encountered.

So please, treat the term "advice" with a pinch of salt. If these "SA Haters" were so good at giving advice and predicting armageddon, they woudl all be billionairres.

I think the reason we see such individuals with negative eyes, is because of their relentless knack to will / wish SA into doom - and somehow it just doesn't happen in reality. They are simply bored in my view.
