Hout Bay killing
Hout Bay [Cape Town], a place I used to know well as a tranquil spot.
Man beaten to death by robbers

Tragic, and sadly just another day in South Africa.

Welcome all ways wired, clearly you haven't read any old threads on the Africa forum. I think you may have lit some blue touchpaper. Best of luck....

Re: Hout Bay killing
Friendly? Sometimes....
This forum is a pretty accurate reflection of living in Africa. Moments of despair, camaradarie, bewilderment and hilarity - often on the same day - but some in more plentiful supply than others.
I'd be inclined to feel your way around a little before jumping straight in. There are some with unwavering views, logic that cannot be defeated and people who's personal experiences shape beliefs that no amount of argument will change - and that's fair enough. TIA after all.
Enjoy your time on the forum....and good luck.

Actually, Jugs, I think you only need strength if you want to go on defending the indefensible. Otherwise honesty and a modicum of intelligence suffice. When is Malema off to Venezuela to learn all about nationalisation from his buddy Chavez?

It seems AWW has decided that discretion is the better part of valour.... shame, things were getting a bit staid around here.

Re: Hout Bay killing
troll huh?? i do believe that definition is aimed straight at you pal. talk about posting something thats got f-all to do with the site.
let me guess.......another bitter afrikaner who fled the country having f-ed the indigenous population and then couldn't deal with the consequences.
why don't you put your time dedicated to something a tad more interesting than posting some shite on a site that you don't even belong on??
now answer my original question
