Yes they are. We hire white South Africans and have to go through a lot of paperwork to get them over here for 9 months. They have to go back for three months and then we try to get them back. However the greatest impediment are our consulates in S.A.. After about three years they won't allow them to come back. Our government is afraid they will stay here. They are good workers, speak english and are intelligent. They say it is getting worse back in S.A.
I suspected that to be the case. What a mess!
