Hello everyone, Sorry not been about for a bit very busy at work and a broken ankle in plaster not having much fun at the moment.

I have been reading a lot of replies and finding as always very interesting comments. I spent a lot of time going through this forum before and after my visit to SA and have done a lot of research and soul searching these past months and I would like to say that I very much appreciate the honesty of people on this forum. If I asked a question I received a straight to the point no frills answer and being Scottish we like that.

My husband and I will not be moving to SA, I must say I am very disappointed but why on earth would I put myself in that situation, I loved my trip to SA, was married in Zim and have spent a lot of time in Africa but I cannot do it, for various reasons but most of all my life is more important and dont want to be looking over my shoulder all the time.

I have friends who are still in Zim and I worry about them constantly and they need to get out soon but life is not that easy sometimes.

Anyway I am going on bla bla bla and what I would like to say is a big huge THANKS to all of you for your opinions and honesty. I wont vanish I will pop on now and then for a blether and see whats happening as I do like to hear about SA and see you are all ok.

Cheers again guys.

Hi Jenny, Dont know your situation, but PLEASE dont say you'll be staying in Britain though . That would be really sad !!

Redlippie

Why? It is her home after all.

Mitzyboy

Yeah .... Britain may have a things wrong with it, but even if half of what I read on here is correct then SA would be 100 times or more worse!

Redlippie

10 000 times.

Unfortunately, it is where my children were born

SA may or may not be worse than Britain, however I would not base my judgement on anything that has been written here.

Tegwyn

Of course not, it is just the opinion of thousands of South Africans that are have left / in the process of leaving, or trying to find a way out. This stuff is a pure figment of their imagination, an excuse to leave everything they identify with, behind.......

Stanley10

Exactly, couldn't have put it better myself (you may be a bit harsh on the figment of the imagination bit)

Mitzyboy

I don't ..... look at TV reports, in the newspapers, search online
You cant just ignore all the bad reports and just deny it doesn't happen.

The ostrich is alive and well, and roaming around behind huge security fences in the cheery metropolis of S.A ! For those that love the thrill of the "chased", this is the place.

Redlippie

It's a bit like a time-honored tradition in Africa - game hunting.

Only human beings are the prey.

Fair enough, its just not what you said originally.
