“At any rate the last time there was any posting from South Africa was 2005 .”
Not so. I live in Cape Town, South Africa - always have. I’ve been posting here since 2006.
Last posting on the SA country page here was silver jade done in 2005 and FR membership shown as 23.
I remember when Mugabe and his thugs did this crap to Rhodesia. I remember the Selous Scouts, too, and how effective they were at tracking down and neutralizing the guerrillas.
I hope you have taken whatever steps you can take to protect yourself and your family and friends.
If you can possibly get to America, you WILL BE WELCOME HERE.
But I understand - it is your Country, and it is NOT easy to just pick up and leave.
