you might get away with it, as I did in arrogance, when I hitch hiked and bussed through 3 different warzones, or you could sustain serious damage.
Your comment that those of us who criticise the crime and corruption and incompetence in SA are "Disenchanted with our Nation"(???) interests me.
Are you referring to Professor Jonathan Jannesens article in the Sunday Times.co.za on the
1st of July?
or are you saying that those of us (me in particular) must hate SA and its people because we criticise its rulers and politicians?.

Whoa there... I'm not saying anyone must hate SA. I'm not going to debate with you, I just wanted to give my opinion to the original post. I certainly see reason to criticize SA (or any other nation... the faults just differ) I just want prospective visitors to see the good, as well as the bad and ugly. I have many friends who have moved to the UK, US or OZ, most with good reason. I just pray that enough good, intelligent and proactive South Africans decide to stick and make a difference for the future of the nation. SA has been put in a position to impact all of southern Africa, if not all of Africa... and I want to see the impact be a positive one.
