Re: Oscar Pistorius

Thing is, no one ever claimed it did. Hence the straw man.

Re: Oscar Pistorius

Quite, Mitzy, quite.

I'm afraid that Ed has set up his own straw man here.

Re: Shipping a car to South Africa

I never liked it either. Apart from the pretty scenery it was dull as dishwater.

Ed, I think the Cape Town one was pretty much in the centre (Bo-kaap)

Re: Shipping a car to South Africa

Ah, well, you can blame old age for that, coupled with the fact that I no longer think that SA can be turned around.

Re: Shipping a car to South Africa

Yes, though that was a taxi in the UK sense, I believe - i.e, a saloon car just for the passenger's use (in theory, anyway - until the killing).

On a similiar grim subject, I took a casual glance at...

Re: Shipping a car to South Africa

Hi Mitzy. Good to see you. Yes, I suppose they are a bit like that. My memory of "taxis" in SA is that they drive wildly, are often clearly unroadworthy, overcrowded, driven by aggressive criminal...

Re: Shipping a car to South Africa

Taxis in the UK are normally saloon cars that take one or more associated passengers from one destination to another.

While there are a few of these to be found in SA too, taxi in SA refers normally...

Re: Where is best to live in South Africa and take 2 dogs?

Thing is, if you're going to start ascribing causes to the past in that way, you need to account for and separate out what caused the good things as well as the bad things.

Otherwise all that is...

Re: Thinking of setting up a business in south africa - help!

Far be it for me to answer for Ed, Rosario, but I don't think that Ed is there to judge "merit", he is there to assess who is the best person to do the job, no?

As for merit, Rosario, what do you...

Re: Where is best to live in South Africa and take 2 dogs?

I believe it had a certain internal logic to it. Indeed the terminology is reminiscent of the terminology used by the left in their attempts to provide an intellectual framework for...

Re: Caravan Touring in South Africa

I was here briefly yesterday, as I think you saw, Ed. I'm well enough, thank you. You know the crime threads don't particularly interest me. As I mentioned some time ago, the trajectory for SA is one...

Actually neither. It's "You're" in the context Kiwibok used it.

Re: Facts, figures and other deliberations ... CT

A significant proportion, if not a majority, of South African girls lose their virginity by rape.

Similarly one observes gross sexism and sexual harassment - cat-calling, touching-up, and yes,...

Re: Driving license

Actually, no, Ed, I agree with you entirely on this and don't think it's dangerous. The only thing to remember is that DVLA must not be told you live abroad and, as you say, they will only send the...

Re: How long can you stay

Is she a SA citizen or a UK citizen, or both?

When you say 'residency papers', what are you referring to? Certificate of Permanent Residence? If so, then she would not be a SA citizen but a foreign...

Re: Driving license

What people might get away with and what the regulations are seldom correspond.

A lot of people also drive with no licence at all if the stats are to be believed.

Re: Driving license

Poor Ed is the expert on driving licence problems in SA, but last I checked you can use your UK licence for up to a year in SA.

If you become a permanent resident, then you are supposed to exchange...

Re: Get SA citizenship, born there but British

I suggest you research the UK SA High Commission web site or the SA Dept of Home Affairs site.

If you were born in SA, you are already a SA citizen unless you have formally renouced your...

Re: Planning Utility costs and any other hidden nasties?

Hope you're well. Ed.

Yes, Ficksburg, I think. A very nice part of the country and one where I used to know people who lived in just such places. But that was before the farm murders began.

Agreed...
