Belgian exchange students?

French swimming coaches at the special olympics?
which?who are they talking about?
They are concerned about the safety for everybody involved which is what any caring organisation would do. However, nowhere have they come out and said South Africa is not safe for tourists.

It does not take a rocket scientist to comprehend that selling a product (tourism as one of them) usually offers selective fact and glosses the negatives. Really basic marketing classes would teach you that.

Campbell twisted the words from a shoddy article to suit his political agenda.

Also, lets have a look at the meaning of the word "Curfew".


My Colins Dictionary says :

Curfew : Law ordering people to stay indoors at a specific time at night.

Now tell me, how are people under curfew in South Africa?

Hey buddy,

Are you the new moderator around here ?

Everything that doesn't agree with the ANC's FAILURE is shoddy or twisted

Is that your point?

Can I assume you will take back your words and stop trying to discredt me ?

Perhaps you can admit you were wrong ?

You stated :

"That is whu the Tourist Board of South Africa recently stated that it is not safe for toursist to visit SA."

I repeat : Where in the link you provide does the Tourist Board state that it is not safe for tourists to visit South Africa?

Just point me to the particular quote, sentence or paragraph where the words It is not safe for tourists to visit South Africa appear and I will be happy.

Good luck with that.

One of things that is difficult to get used to in NZ is the inconsistency. I have met a few Brits here that seem to have been “kiwized” and change their mind as the wind blows.

But then again the English can do it too.

The Scots have their fair share of wind and anyone that has worn a kilt (properly) will tell you that.

South Africans on the other hand haven’t discovered the wind to decide which way it is blowing. There’s a fair wind blowing from the north.

Mind you some of it just hot air.

I know you can't. You know you can't.

People don't want to hear the positives either...
