And yes, Mbali, I do live in Utopia, I live in Ireland.
In Galway, in a beautiful home in the corner of a farm with no burglar bars, my gates are open, my garage has'nt been locked in 2 years, my daughter and her friends play in the fields,feed the Horses, ride their bicycles, we go for walks down Country lanes at night,
her Govt school has superb Teachers, when she goes to Uni one day(which is as free as her schooling has been,) she can do whatever Courses her marks qualify her for,when she works one day her success or failure will also not depend on her skin colour.
The Public transport,Postal and Police/Judicial systems work.
Health Care is straining but its mostly South African Doctors and Nurses
anyway and at least the new Hospitals that are being built are actualy being built.

She is growing up in a country that has a huge increase in crime this last year, Murders up 25%, yep, it is terrible, 17 more people got murdered than last year.
Aids is at 1.7% of the population,
But,there are bad points.
There is a reason Ireland is green.
It rains often, a soft rain such as you get in Dullstroom and Howick.
So I gave up some Weather that I could'nt enjoy except in a car for some rain.
Yes. Mbali, i do live in Utopia
