I am NOT giving government sanctioned news. My extended family lives in South Africa.Unlike most on this thread, I actually KNOW what I'm talking about. Most whites don't live in " bad neighborhoods ", in SA. Or, are you claiming that the entire nation is a " bad neighborhood " ?

Just making a comparison is all. I was insinuating just what you and other posters later said--that the Afrikaners are probably armed to the teeth.

You obviously know a great deal about SA thanks to your familial connections. However, you're not winning any friends by slapping around everyone who offers an opinion on the matter.

Why not do something positive? You seem to know a lot about the subject and have derided this article as bad information. If there isn't a "South Africa" bump list, why not start one? Based on the responses to this thread, you'd have a lot of interest. We depend on people with interests in specific parts of the world to keep the rest of us informed.

There is and has been for years, an AFRICA WATCH ping list, and I have been an active and original member of that crew. After stupid post after stupid post after yet more bloody stupid posts, made to those thread, I gave up posting to them for a year or so.A few Afrikaners have left FR, after being told by a bunch of people who have NEVER been in Africa, let alone South Africa, that they didn't know what they were talking about, but that said Americans did.

I have told the facts about South Africa, here, for years. I am NOT interested in making friends with people who talk about topics they know nothing at all about, have been repeatedly told the same facts, for years on end, but ignore them and continue to post : " THE WHITES SHOULD JUST LEAVE ", as their ONLY contribution to a thread.

You want to hear some REAL news out of Africa ? Last week, my s-i-l's sister told us that the government is taking over the area where the VOORTREKKERS MONUMENT is ( it's in Pretoria)and are knocking it down. It was not only a national monument to whites, but also to blacks and history, factual history, made art. This was a HUGE tourist attraction.It made money FOR all of SA!

But not a word has gotten to the outside world about this desecration and if it had, would anyone care ? Instead, we get this article, filled with lies,` rumors, and scare tactics posted to FR, with a bunch of yowling from people who haven't the glimmer of an idea what they're talking about and I'm NOT supposed to slap at them ? WHY ?

I don't mean to be rude, but I'm frustrated and fed up to the teeth,from reading years of abjectly stupid posts, written by people who don't know the subject and refuse to learn from people who do.
