Do you have a reference for this? I spent a couple of weeks in Capetown last October, and the people I dealt with (mostly Afrikaners) seemed content.

South Africa does have a high crime rate. White farmers in the "outback" (veldt?) are being murdered, which is obviously causing some disquietitude. Capetown itself has a crime problem.

However, property values in Capetown are rising due to Americans and Europeans moving there due to the low cost of living.

South Africa is no Nirvana; nor is it Zimbabwe.

This poll was commented upon on our radio news on WABC and I read about it on the net too.

Hey bagman, where is your source about Americans and Europeans moving to Cape Town? I have heard that this
will a future place for stability in SA, so please
give me a weblink source if you could please. Also,
I have heard Cape Town compared to San Francisco as
far as the idyllic landscape and seaside scenery.
