dragging children back to that sh!thole, is child abuse...

Hundreds of thousands of whites left South Africa following the ANC's landslide election victory in 1994. Twenty years on, the exodus shows signs of slowing, even reversing. Jane Flanagan spoke to some of those who have returned.
Nicky and Craig Irving spent five years in Australia before moving back to Cape Town with their three daughters.
They were among the last members of their respective families to emigrate amid fears over the crime wave that swept South Africa during the 1990s.
"The challenge to us from our relatives who had left was 'How can you raise your children in a country that is so violent and has no future'," Mrs Irving recalls.
"Our girls were 10, seven and nearly one at the time. We felt vulnerable living in South Africa, so leaving seemed the obvious thing to do."

“”We could have decided to stay in Australia which, as people kept telling us, was a safe place for our children, but we decided to come back and try and make South Africa a safer place for all its children.”
Liberals! They just never learn...
“We all stood there with tears running down our cheeks. I had grown up with so much shame about the colour of my skin, but Nelson Mandela really did change that for a lot of white South Africans. I knew then that I had to go home.”
I wish them luck. They will need it, ‘cuz they sure don’t have smarts!
She's going to have to worry about simply being alive if she stays there.
“We all stood there with tears running down our cheeks. I had grown up with so much shame about the colour of my skin, but Nelson Mandela really did change that for a lot of white South Africans. I knew then that I had to go home. It was the most amazing moment.”
Oh, brother.
dragging children back to that sh!thole, is child abuse...
Bad move on the Irving's part. Terrible.
"Our girls were 10, seven and nearly one at the time. We felt vulnerable living in South Africa, so leaving seemed the obvious thing to do.""
Those were your survival instincts kicking in. You should listen to them and take the correct action. Psst .... get the hell out of there and don't look back!
The English whites left. Afrikaners - who have no other fatherland, had to stay.
At 10% of the population, white South Africa is a shadow of when whites were 20% of the population and basically ran the country.
Post-apartheid South Africa is very difficult for them to live in. With all the problems, they’re still the largest minority group in the country.
People don't emigrate or immigrate or any kind of -grate unless things are collapsing in their present location.
White neighborhoods are secure, calm and crime free. The white suburbs are a world apart from Black South Africa. Whites have a First World standard of living and security.
Other parts of the country are not so fortunate.
Many people moved because they feared the worst. Generally speaking, they their country and how bad it really is. It probably is somewhat better in reality than how it is often portrayed.
I wish them well and hope it can be made to work.
that's fine, so long as they NEVER have to leave those areas... good luck with that
No. Every one loves the land of their birth and you don’t feel the same when you live abroad.
There is a sense if you try to make a go of it, then it will work out in the end. For some of course, they can never adapt to being home again.
South African whites are not colonialists. They were the first free African people in an era when the West subjugated Africa to its will.
That history and feeling of being African will never leave someone who was born there.
Color me skeptical. Note the source: BBC.
I know a white woman who moved to my state from South Africa on a one year work visa that was extended to a second and last year. In her time here she became a figurative member of the family i.e. a member of the family.
She never said this, but it was obvious to anyone who cared to look that her goal was to marry a US citizen so she would not have to go back to South Africa.
She has told me some horror stories about her home town such that I wouldn't wish them on my worst enemy.
She did marry that guy. They have been married about four years and have one child.
I think the world of her and think she is a resounding asset to the United States. I hope she never gets the urge to draw her family back to her roots.
I believe her stories of her home town.
If another soul thinks he or she can go to such an environment and improve things, the only thing I can say is, "May God go with you," and offer encouragement.
The there is one Oscar Pistorius. His mansion looked like a fortress. The rolls of barbed wire on top of the wall, would have wrenched human flesh. Then, out of the blue, he claims an intruder had forced his way in. Quoting cases of persons who did have intruders force their way in his defense.
The list of white farm people murdered has reached incredible proportions. Who the hell did farm people hurt anyway?
South Africa is a massacre just waiting to happen
Lefftism is a mental illness and a group suicide strategy.
Not exactly. Friend of a friend was taken out by an AK-wielding carjacker. Gotta love those Russian scumbags.
