South Africa is stunningly beautiful - easy to see how an animal lover would want to settle there. Unfortunately, the black gangs are so bad now and getting worse - most of these persons are from central africa and not locals. I’ve been to SA on several trips and also have many South African friends here who have migrated since the end of apartheid. Except for the Hottentots, I am told that the blacks have been imported to South Africa from Voortracker times. They built a ‘rod’ for their own backs. Sound familiar???

Not completely. North-Eastern SA has been 'black' -- well, Xhosa, from the 1500s or a little earlier. So this was just about the same time as the Dutch came in -- truly speaking both the 'blacks' and the dutch came around the same time, pushing the local San people..

I have been to four countries* in Africa, I love them all.
Good thing I have the common sense not to move there.
