Yeah, it doesn't show on the main page, since it is a sub-forum of a sub-forum of a hug continent. Glad you found it though.
It would be something that Sue needs to address, but I doubt it, since it is consistent with the hierarchy of the other forums.
I've requested it be moved.

Re: WOW This place is dead.....
Yeah, it's been structured like this for as long as I remember, and it seems to work well enough.
The forum used to be more active but we went through a period a few years ago when some threads just consisted of links to the latest horror stories coming out of SA, the same opinions being reiterated over and again, and a fair amount of squabbling. Things are a lot quieter now and we often go for a while without any new posts, then one or two gain some momentum again.
Very few, if any, if the 'old guard' on this forum still live in SA. Ed has just left, and I've been in the UK for a few months, but not for much longer!

From my last visits however I have been finding myself being more positive about SA than my family/friends that live there.

We all know that Cape Town is not part of Africa.
