To a previous thread I am well aware of the Homecoming revolution and I hear the attempts to get skilled workers back is not working and it is Eskom who are trying to get skilled workers back. Seems as if the re will be plenty of power cuts to come for a few years yet. My sister and borther in law were recently here in the UK and as near as they both are to the age of fifty they have decided to quit Safrica as they feel they can no longer live there. They are working longer hours, earning less money, are continually stressed and the cost of living is soaring. I have heard Safican's say the cost of living in SA is now higher than it is here in the UK. I have recently made contact with a friend who is 48 and has emigrated to New Zealand. Scazman do your self a favour and stay away. The recent well publicised problems of xenophobia should tell you about the feelings of black South African's to outsiders in particular black people.
