Many white SAs already live in squatters camps. I believe there are now eight.

My wife is from SA. She visits yearly. It is a civilization in decline. Electrical power is off in most neighborhoods for several hours a day as no money was ever invested in maintenance. Crime is rampant of course, and the police are just as likely as the crooks to make off with the goods.

It has great beauty, and will probably continue to draw tourists as it is pretty hard to destroy natural beauty immediately. Affirm action and corruption are killing investment. A slow decline is evident, and likely will continue without the guarantee of property rights for business and individuals. Many SA do own firearms lawfully. But no certainty that that could be maintained.

At least SA does not yet have govt designated queer/so called unknowns bathrooms and does not dictate toilet flush capacity yet. In some ways they do maintain more freedoms than we, and one sees more self-reliance among most (kind of America in the 50s) and in general the govt is less intrusive than what we are used to.

Young adults have respect for elders, and refer to any stranger as uncle or auntie on first meeting. There is much to like about the country if one can avoid the illogic of incompetent federal operations.

Thanks whistleduck.

That's an odd failing of Zero, Lurch and the rest -- probably can be chalked up to South Africa's having been such a huge success story otherwise. :')
