Exclamation I would love to return to South Africa!

Whilst everybody debates the pro's and con's of leaving South Africa, I cannot wait to get back there. I didn't leave beautiful Cape Town for any political or crime reasons, it was purely a family situation. Now, here in dismal England I cannot find a job despite a superb CV. Whilst South Africa's Hospitality industry standards surpass those of the U.K. by a long way, my CV counts for nothing here.
On the other hand, jobs in South Africa are scarce, plus there is the so called affirmative action or Economic Empowerment.
My only solution seems 'self-employment', which in Tourism is not too difficult.
For my Tourism project in S.A., I am now looking for a Partner.
Interested parties are invited to contact me via this Forum or my own email:udann@hotmail.co.uk
All letters are most welcome.

How can you hate Affirmative Action after what the Blacks have been through, it is their country and if you dont like it you shouldnt be there. You are the guest. They are also 80% of the population but Whites have 99% of the wealth. I mean come on, they were slaves in their own country subjected to unspeakable cruelties including rapes, murders, destruction of culture language and dignity and you want to take Affirmative Action away from them too. Tell me what did you do or say when the Blacks were subjected to apartheid, did you care, did you help? Did your parents?

Its not an attack its the TRUTH! The world is very aware of what the Blacks have been subjected to there. Terrible how people think they can just take over a persons country treat them horribly steal rape and imprison them for no reason let them die in the streets. And then call themselves Native Africans. The only Native Africans are Black. Everyone on here speaks ill of those that suffer which is a DIRECT cause of the suffering they were subjected to for hundreds of years and now you want to take Affirmative Action away? those who want to take it away should leave the country I am sure the Blacks would rather you not have been there in the first place.

The people on this forum are not directly responsible for the ills in South Africa, present or historically. If you want to make a point you should make a point but don't accuse people or their parents of doing nothing

This just goes to show, don't make a comment unless you know what you are talking about and have the experience. This person obviously has no idea what he is talking about and is reliant purely on the media indoctrination.

Mate I am South African, born and bred. Lived and worked there most of my life until 2001. I still have family in South Africa and visit very regularly.
